Bloomberg Línea — in a year with an IPO drought, M&A transactions were one of the alternatives to generate liquidity events for private equity investors.

Even so, there was a drop in M&As: down 15% in volume and 40% in value added in Latin America in November 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, according to the monthly report on mergers and acquisitions in the region published by the Transactional Track Record (TTR)

According to TTR, Brazil led the region in both deal quantity and value-added year-to-date, followed by Mexico and then Chile in both criteria.

Colombia ranked fourth, followed by Argentina and Peru, among the top six M&A markets in Latin America. There were 1,191 M&A transactions.
