The South-East European region became very attractive for investments after 2000, with the start of reforms and positive political and economic developments. Raiffeisen Investment has been active in the region ever since and became the leading M&A and privatisation adviser to both the governments in the region and private clients. The regional offices of Raiffeisen Investment offer an in-depth knowledge of local M&A markets and experienced staff with broad range of skills in various sectors.

According to the Thomson Financial, in the period 2004-2005 Raiffeisen Investment was the number one financial advisor in South-East Europe according to the number of deals. Raiffeisen Investment also advised on the largest deals so far in Bosnia and Herzegovina (acquisition of BH Steel by Mittal Steel) and Montenegro (privatisation of Telecom Montenegro), and is currently advising on the largest deal so far in Serbia (privatisation of oil industry of Serbia - NIS, jointly with Merrill Lynch).
