With the economic downturn and the financial crisis as background, Iberian companies are facing a lot of challenges. With the Spanish and Portuguese banks system in a deeply restructuring process, speakers from investment banks, law firms, private equity firms, companies and advisory groups will discuss at the fifth edition of the mergermarket Iberian M&A and Private Equity forum the future of Spanish and Portuguese companies corporate movements in a difficult economic and financial environment.
The panelists will also assess the Iberian and Latin American market scenarios this year, the priorities for companies in their M&A strategies, the bank restructuring and the main challenges for the Private Equity industry.
“The M&A pipeline continues to be busy in Spain and Portugal with the banking restructuring centering the debate,” commented Rupert Cocke, the mergermarket Group’s Spanish Bureau Chief. “The lack of financing is also changing the way that deals are been financing and Latin America seems a very good opportunity for Spanish and Portuguese companies.”
