Soon to come from the team at unquote” is the key review of 2008′s european buyout market. Despite showing the initial trends you would probably imagine – volumes down from 823 in ’07 to 580 in ’08, with values falling even further – 184.9 bn euros in ’07 to just 69.7 bn euros in @08 – there are some other interesting findings.
Although larger deals are down of course, there were still 11 seen in the 1bn euro plus range – could this be suggesting some resilience where top quality assets are concerned?
