Middle East’s best investment bank for M&A 2026: JPMorgan

M&A in the Middle East has undergone a fundamental shift. What was once a market defined by domestic consolidation and government-driven privatisation has become a genuinely global arena: a source of outbound capital, a destination for international strategic investment and an increasingly sophisticated deal environment. JPMorgan’s dominance in 2025 shows a bank embedded in that transformation.

The bank ranked number one in MENA M&A wallet by Dealogic with a 12% market share for the full year – the third consecutive year it has held that position and part of a run in which JPMorgan has been the most consistent top three performer in MENA investment banking since 2016.
