Description

Brazil stands at the centre of a new wave of deal-making. Political shifts, macroeconomic volatility, and changing investor priorities are reshaping the landscape for mergers and acquisitions. This panel will examine how deal-making strategies are adapting to Brazil’s unique realities, ranging from regulatory hurdles and governance standards to opportunities in distressed assets and sectoral consolidation.

Expect discussion on:

  • Regional M&A trends: key sectors driving activity and implications for domestic and foreign investors 
  • How ESG, governance and capital allocation strategies are influencing deal flow
  • Special situations: insolvency, litigation restructuring in Brazil’s legal and corporate environment
  • Geopolitical and policy dynamics: the impact of fiscal reforms, interest rate movements and political developments on investment strategies
