Featured Research
EMPEA’s latest research suggests a robust recovery is underway in emerging markets private equity. Investment pace is picking up significantly post-crisis and appears on track to beat 2009 totals. In the first half of this year, investment totaled US$13 billion versus US$8 billion as of June 2009, an increase of 55%, driven by more deals (up 44%) as well as a surge in Latin American investment and continued strong activity levels in China and India. Brazil deals ranked among the top five largest investments made through mid year, with PE investment in Brazil increasing 53% in the first six months of 2010 over full year 2009 totals.
