More than half of finan­cial inves­tors expect access to credit to be more diffi­cult in 2012, with only six percent expec­ting an impro­ve­ment. The view of the gene­ral econo­mic situa­tion is also rather skep­ti­cal: 47 percent of the entre­pre­neurs expect a down­turn in the coming months, only 22 percent believe in a reco­very of the market. The biggest hurdle for fund mana­gers: too little outside capi­tal. As a result of the debt crisis in Europe, banks are no longer prepared to provide high levels of debt financing.
These are the key findings of the PWC study “Private Equity Trend Report 2012”. PWC surveyed 170 fund mana­gers world­wide, inclu­ding 29 from Germany, for its annual analysis.
