Factors Influencing Successful Cross-Border M&A

Last updated: 1 June 2023

Cross-border Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) have become increasingly important as an entry strategy for foreign direct investment; it accounted for as much as 36% of all global M&A deals in 2016. Europe, an important center of cross-border deals, has seen most of its inbound M&A activity come from the US. Despite having similar dynamics to domestic transaction, cross-border M&A also involves unique risks owing to the difference in economic, legal, institutional and cultural structures between countries.
