PE, M&A market set for upswing, say players
Mergers and acquisitions (M&As) and private equity (PE) investments in India dipped both in value and volume terms in 2009 due to the global slowdown. This, along with the sharp run-up in the equities in the second half of the year and too much liquidity globally, has made deal closure an arduous task for PE players. Despite this, the players are hopeful that the investment market will improve in 2010. The value of deals (both PE and M&As) announced in calendar year 2009 (January to December 13, 2009) was $21.20 billion as against $41.54 billion, a decline of nearly 49 per cent. During 2007, the value was $70.14 billion, according to data compiled by Grant Thornton.
