Russian M&A review 2017 3 Overview Although deal activity increased by 13% in 2017, the value of Russian M&A Deal was 12% lower than the previous activity 13% year, at USD66.9 billion, mainly due to an absence of larger deals. This was in particular reflected in the oil and gas sector, which in 2016 was characterised by three large deals with a combined value exceeding USD28 billion. The good news is that investors have adjusted to the realities of sanctions and lower oil prices, and sought opportunities brought by both the economic recovery and governmental efforts to create a new industrial strategy. 2017 saw a significant rise in the number and value of deals outside the Deal more traditional extractive industries value 37% and utility sectors, which have historically driven Russian M&A. Oil and gas sector is excluded If the oil and gas sector is excluded, then the value of deals rose by 37%, from USD35.5 billion in 2016 to USD48.5 billion in 2017.

The domestic economy largely overcame the issues posed by the crisis and even entered the first stage of economic recovery. The current state of the national banking sector can also be considered in a positive light as, in general, it has already achieved stability. The measures undertaken by the Government and the Bank of Russia to support banks in the second half of 2008 and throughout 2009 generally overcame the lack of liquidity in the market and maintained the stability of the financial system by meeting the credit supply needs of the real economy.
