European dealmaking is set to bounce back in the second half after lagging other key investment banking markets in 2025, according to UBS’s head of M&A in the region.

Renewed optimism around European dealmaking has not matched the level of activity so far in 2025, with the total value of M&A up by just 3% to $535.8bn in the region, according to data provider Dealogic.
