Global Investment Bankers Are Cautiously Optimistic Amid Market Uncertainty

Anish Ailawadi, Managing Director, Head of Investment Banking, Acuity Knowledge Partners, in an exclusive article authored for International Banker, highlights how global investment bankers are cautiously optimistic amid market uncertainty.

He adds that following a year of supply-chain bottlenecks, rising inflation and high interest rates, investment banks (IB) have learned lessons from these tough market conditions.

While market volatility and geopolitical unrest remain, investor confidence is cautiously growing, and IBs expect a recovery in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and equity capital market (ECM) activity, he feels.
