May 2020 sees a decline in deals compared to last year, but rebounds from April

While April 2020 saw a 65% drop compared to the same month last year, May 2020 saw a drop as well: deals were down 27% from May 2019. Compared to last month, however, the number of deals has increased by 93%, as 33 deals took place in May 2020. A big contributor to the increase in deals was the Misk500 MENA Accelerator, which accelerated its third batch of startups since its inception.
