Encouraged by hopes of a cooperative Trump presidency and underpinned by favorable capital market conditions, leading dealmakers expect an increase in global M&A levels in 2017, according to the 10th Annual Brunswick M&A Survey. About 44% of surveyed dealmakers expect M&A to increase in 2017, an uptick from the previous year in which only 13% of respondents were optimistic on M&A.
