The circumstances on the capital markets in recent years have also meant that a large number of transaction projects initiated in Europe have not yet been completed. The industry information platform Mergermarket tracks - primarily large - transaction projects and designates those where no progress has been made within six months as "Missing in Auction" (MIA).
Accordingly, a considerable MIA overhang has also arisen in Europe (see chart), although this currently appears to be decreasing again as a result of more favorable conditions, thus providing the market with additional momentum.
In conjunction with other positive factors such as the increased interest of US and European investors in German target companies, this is also improving the environment for small and medium-sized entrepreneurs who are considering selling their company.
