Due to the fact that modern economy is constantly developing, many financial institutions have to transform their business models in order to adapt to these permanent changes. A merger and acquisition integration is one of the most common ways to the reorganization of business. M&A transactions are becoming increasingly popular and have a direct impact not only on the domestic economies of countries, but also affect the whole global economy. In recent years, there has been a significant decrease in the number of mergers and acquisitions across the European banking sector. It confirms the need for a detailed analysis of M&A processes. In terms of this research paper we would like to evaluate the impact of implementation of new regulatory reforms on the effectiveness of M&A deals across the European banking sector.
