"Last year proved to be challenging, as expected, with a slowdown in the volume of deal activity. Despite this, we were able to maintain the same level of activity as in 2022, with higher average deal sizes and a significant increase in the number of our private equity-backed transactions. We are grateful to our clients and introducers for their continued support. As we enter the current year, we are mindful of the geopolitical issues at the forefront, with elections in multiple countries and conflicts in others likely to influence the major economies. Nevertheless, we see definite signs of increased confidence and strong appetite for deals and liquidity in the markets, which makes us look forward to a more buoyant year in 2024.”
