On July 18, Mr. Aquila shared his insights on the future of the M&A market in a video interview with The Deal Pipeline. He indicated that there will likely be a rise in corporate dealmaking as the economic uncertainty that has restrained M&A activity subsides. Mr. Aquila noted that some sectors are facing a backlog for consolidation because of the recent slowdown in the M&A market, which will serve as a catalyst for increased M&A activity in those sectors in the near future. Mr. Aquila expects to see continued activity in the healthcare and consumer products sectors, as well as cross-border deals in Asia, Europe and Latin America.
