Over the past year, we’ve experienced unprecedented developments characterised by significant macroeconomic shifts, including record-high inflation rates and aggressive monetary policy tightening across advanced economies. These challenges have led to a global downturn, creating substantial uncertainty in markets, with private equity facing considerable pressure across various strategies and regions.
As we near the end of 2024 and look towards 2025, a more optimistic outlook is emerging, with major economies experiencing disinflationary trends and easing interest rates. This optimism regarding a more accommodative borrowing environment sets the stage for a potential resurgence in private market activity, though broader uncertainty may persist due to geopolitical tensions and ongoing macroeconomic challenges.
Against this backdrop, IQ-EQ partnered with the Centre for Economics and Business Research (Cebr) to provide a series of detailed reports examining the influence of evolving macroeconomic conditions on private markets across diverse geographic regions, providing an outlook for the second half of 2024 and beyond.
Following our earlier reports on private debt and real estate, we’re now pleased to share reports on the private equity outlook in Europe and the UK, and in Asia. Our hope is that these insights will help investors navigate current market dynamics and strategically leverage emerging opportunities.
