Blessing Sees Record Year for Deal Making Despite Economic Concerns

Dorothee Blessing, co-head of global investment banking at JPMorgan Chase & Co., says dealmaking is on track for a record year. The surge in mergers and public offerings could push volumes to new highs, despite growing concerns over the economy.

In an interview with Bloomberg TV, Blessing said, 'We do think we might be set for a record year' in M&A and capital raising in general.

The final months of 2026 are expected to see a flurry of activity, which could drive dealmaking volumes to unprecedented levels. This would come despite growing concerns over the economy.
