European M&A totalled an impressive €563.6 billion in H1 2020, keeping pace with 2019 figures despite economic troubles caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Deal value has been resilient, given major European economies were in lockdown for the majority of Q2 2020. That has resulted in sectors either working from home, operating at limited capacity, or being closed completely. M&A dealmaking will persist for the rest of 2020 as Q2 earnings are reported, recessions bite, and announced job cuts are completed.
