Hi Seun,
in my personal opinion (speaking about European market), prolonged uncertainty regarding the future relationship between the UK and the rest of the EU could show noticeable slowdown in M&A activity. Based on some researches, in second half of 2018 M&A activities (mainly high-profile) experienced a considerable drop due to rising protectionism, government intervention, and continued uncertainty. That could definitely be something which would discourage a foreign investor from trying to enter some of emerging markets as well (perhaps CEE market).
