Two very important distinctions were won by Deloitte at the beginning of 2023. The first concerns its proclamation, for the fifth consecutive year, by Brand Financethe world’s leading brand valuation consultancy, as the world’s strongest and most valuable commercial services brand.
In addition, he also stood out leading Global Financial Advisor in M&A matters based on deal volume, according to Mergermarketin the 2022 Global and Regional M&A Report.
According to her Global 500 report for 2023 recently released, over the past twelve months, Deloitte’s brand value increased by 16% to $34,514 million. At the same time, its credit rating was rated AAA+ (one of only twelve organizations to be awarded this top rating), while it was ranked among the 5 strongest brands worldwide.
Accordingly, the Global and Regional M&A 2022 report, published by independent M&A data and information provider Mergermarket, states that in 2022 Deloitte acted as financial advisor on 704 M&A transactions, ranking first in the Mergermarket Financial table Advisor League. Deloitte was recognized with the same distinction in both 2018 and 2020, proving its continuity and consistency in the specific field. It is worth noting that 2022 was a year with a 38% drop in M&A amid rising inflation and interest rates.
Commenting on the new two important distinctions, the CEO of Deloitte Greece, Mr. Dimitris Koutsopoulos noted: “Our distinction as the world’s strongest and most valuable commercial services brand is recognition of our organization’s effective market positioning, our multidisciplinary business model based on joint project management by our diverse teams of professionals and our ability to connect with the market beyond our borders. The fact that the Deloitte continues to win the recognition of such important certification bodies for another year, in a volatile and ever-changing environment, is the greatest testament to our adaptability, insight and the effectiveness of our services.”
Being recognized in the M&A sector for the third time in 1st place is further proof of our strategic vision, deep market knowledge and recognition of our clients’ needs combined with a penetrating look at the trends that will define business success of the future”, said Alexis Damalas, Partner, Financial Advisory Services Leader.
