Abstract

The most interesting details concerning the Austrian M&A-Market 2019: A decrease in number of transactions by 13,2%. A decrease in transaction volume by 30,0%. The trend starting in 2015 that Austria is changing from a (net) buyer’s country to a seller’s country has been interrupted relatively clearly. The share of cross-border transactions of 60,3% is one of the lowest during the observation period. In analogy, the relative share in number of transactions with CEEcountries is the lowest since the fall of the Iron Curtain. A significant decrease of transactions following insolvency proceedings or restructurings - also the lowest value within the observation period. Sectors which are to be classified as services more and more replace industry as main players in the Austrian M&A-Market - at least per number of transactions.
