The value of mergers and acquisitions across the U.S. hit $2.6 trillion last year, twice the 2020 volume, according to Dealogic data.<\/p>\n<p>The exceptionally busy M&amp;A market surpassed all records in 2021 and experts expect M&amp;A activity to be strong this year, as well. However, rising inflation and potential tighter regulations might slow down the markets to a certain degree.<\/p>\n<p>In the latest FTI Consulting podcast from the series, Rob Raymond, managing director in the company\u2019s real estate practice, and Commercial Property Executive Senior Editor Laura Calugar, discuss what impacted the upturn in M&amp;A activity last year and how it influenced companies\u2019 real estate decisions and needs.&nbsp;Press play or simply jump to the topic that you\u2019re most interested in:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The M&amp;A environment in 2021 (0:37)<\/li>\n<li>The impact of government stimulus (2:11)<\/li>\n<li>Can operational synergy be achieved?
