B&E Indicators

Signs of recovery

While the global private equity (PE) industry in 2010 may not have recovered at the rate that was expected, there were signs that the industry within the Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) region may be on the road to recovery. Reason: The year 2010 saw an increase in funds raised, from $1.1 billion in 2009 to $1.4 billion, indicating that investors continue to see considerable value in the region.

Raising capital remains a challenge
Although cumulative funds under management grew to $22.4 billion in 2010, raising capital continued to be a challenge for fund managers. In fact, 2010 saw just nine funds successfully raise capital totalling $1.4 billion in contrast to the industry peak in 2007 & 2008. Moreover, of the new funds announced in 2010, eight raised capital totalling $1.3 billion while one fund, announced in 2008, raised an additional $57 million.
