SUMMARY:The bottleneck in public securities transactions\, leveraged buyo
 uts and finance
DESCRIPTION:Global M&amp\;A and\, more specifically\, public securities t
 ransactions and buyout activity has slowed amid a shortage of debt finan
 cing caused by rising interest rates and banks’ reluctance to open their
  money taps. The unprecedented geopolitical and macro-economic volatilit
 y around the world − and hawkish interest rate moves – drove up financin
 g costs and weighed down valuations. The number of leveraged buyout deal
 s announced worldwide has significantly dropped\, while the overall valu
 e of transactions has taken a hit.\nThis panel will discuss how acquirer
 s are rethinking how they pull off large deals\, and the challenges they
  have been facing in this restrictive environment\, after such a contrac
 tion in global buyout activity\, as the gap between buyer and vendor pri
 cing expectations has widened\, and securing debt to finance deals has a
 lso become more challenging and expensive. The panel will also tackle th
 e perspectives for the future\, taking into account any further changes 
 in the economy and political scenarios that may affect positively deals 
 in the pipeline.
