Deloitte Survey: Investment activity to increase in MENA Private Equity market in next 12 months
Deloitte Survey: Bounce back in confidence amongst regional GPs
Fifth Deloitte Private Equity Confidence Survey is issued
September 18, 2012--The fifth Deloitte Private Equity Confidence Survey has just been issued, gauging the views of the regional Private Equity (PE) community, across the Middle East.
The results of the survey reflect a bounce back in confidence amongst regional General Partners (GPs) and a more positive outlook for the long term prospects for PE in the MENA region.
“This edition of the Deloitte Private Equity Confidence Survey is perhaps the most insightful so far. The general sentiment amongst the MENA PE Community is one of optimism,” said Richard Clarke, managing director, Transaction & Restructuring Services, Deloitte Middle East. “While in the past, GP’s may have been hoping for increased deal activity and a bounce back in returns, today’s optimism is supported by our own experiences – there really has been and continues to be an increase in PE backed deals. With the regional political situation starting to settle down, the investment environment is now more attractive than it has been since the beginning of the uprisings of the Arab Spring and moreover the global crisis,” he added.
