Goldman Sachs has secured the largest share of mergers and acquisitions advisory work in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa for the first half of 2026, capturing 44% of the region's deal value.
This marks the bank's biggest EMEA market share in eight years, driven by a broader resurgence in corporate consolidation that has pushed regional M&A activity to its highest level since 2007.
The bank has emerged as the leading global M&A adviser for the first half of 2026, commanding a total deal value of $443 billion.
The surge in advisory volume underscores Goldman's continued dominance in the high-value segment of the market.
According to data reported by Business Day, the investment bank advised on nearly half of all regional deal value during the period, outpacing competitors in a market that has seen significant deal flow acceleration.
This regional performance aligns with Goldman Sachs' broader global standing.
