Cross-border and domestic acquisitions volume declined in Q2 2022 compared to the previous quarter. Although, deal value for both segments saw a marginal increase. The TMT sector continued to dominate in terms of both M&A deal value and volume, with 2,718 deals worth $342 billion recorded in Q2 2022. The travel & tourism sector witnessed the highest deal value growth of 237% in Q2 2022 compared to the same quarter last year.
