<abstract displayLabel="Summary">The volume of insurance M&A transactions in the EMEA region has increased steadily since 2009 and the survey respondents anticipate that activity will continue to increase during 2014 and 2015. This is thanks in part to an expected influx of capital into the insurance market. This year's survey also points to a fundamental shift in firms' M&A priorities, with more respondents now planning disposals rather than acquisitions. This reflects a push amongst major insurers in Europe to sell non-core units and consolidate where they have a leading market position</abstract>
