The ongoing uncertainty in 2025, driven by geopolitical tensions and market volatility, has resulted in a deadlock in mergers and acquisitions, freezing $1 trillion in private equity assets. Accounting firm PwC highlights that many investment plans have stalled as private equity firms hold onto their assets due to a lack of favorable financing conditions, with 30% of investments held for over five years. Although some signs of optimism emerged in May with a slight uptick in larger deals, the overall market remains sluggish as executives adapt to the continued uncertainty.
