The forward-looking corporate leaders are fighting now to rebalance risk, profitability and liquidity while looking for new growth opportunities and gaining resilience to come out of the crisis as fast as possible. Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) being one of the most powerful tools is set to play a bigger role in this direction. It is time now that M&As move at speed and help overcome the present downturn in the economy. Business leaders will have good reasons to leverage M&A as a holistic response to the business and economic crisis.
