The number of deals involving Romanian companies will rise thisyear, but their value will be significantly lower against the yearsof economic boom, so that one cannot speak of a rebound in thisfield for the time being, according to specialised analysts.
Ziarul Financiar has identified 20 possible companies that could beeyed by interested companies, which have got the cash and couldthis way breathe new life into the M&A market, a field wherespecialised consultants and lawyers made good money from 2006through 2009.
"M&A activity will undoubtedly thaw in Romania, as well, in12-18 months under the combined effect of economic downturn, withcompanies unable to grow organically any longer, and of theadjustment, sometimes a significant one, of domestic companies'value. Romania still has a lot of unconsolidated fields, plus adesperate need to sell state stakes, both favourite M&A fields.Nevertheless, I would not rush to speak about a possible M&Abinge in Romania, as we're coping with a very poor investmentperception because of public policy, and particularly fiscalpolicy, inconsistency and amateurism," believes Doru Lionăchescu,main partner with Capital Partners consultancy.
