Sharing Deal Insight provides perspectives on the latest trends and future developments in the financial services M&A market. In this edition, we reflect on the impact of the turbulent recent months and look ahead to the challenges and opportunities that are set to shape deal activity in 2012. Many banks will be actively looking to divest non-core and capital intensive assets as they seek to meet the 9% capital ratio by June 2012 – the European Banking Authority estimates that banks will need to make up a shortfall of more than €100 billion to reach this target. A further driver for deal activity is EU state aid requirements, which will force a number of banks to divest significant assets by the end of 2012. The prices for sellers may be disappointing if the current low valuations in the banking sector persist, though this of course represents an important opportunity for buyers – banks in Continental Europe were trading at an average discount of around 50% to book value at the end of September 2011.
