Deep dives

Private Equity Landscape across 2022-2024

The private equity landscape across the years 2022 to 2024 has seen distinct phases. From the capital velocity and deal making euphoria of early 2022 to the period of rapidly rising interest rates, and now transitioning to a seemingly stable environment for deal making. While 2023 witnessed a 60% decline in buyouts compared to the peak year of 2021, with around $438 billion worth of transactions, it was not a historically poor year for deal making. Despite challenges, a substantial number of transactions were completed.
