CEE's mid-market boom

CEE activity was subdued but with encouraging signs in 2011. Q1 saw just €1.7bn clocked up, but this was twice the sum of the whole of the previous year. Also, although activity in H2 was quiet, year-end figures nearly doubled to €2.6bn year-on-year.

The mid-market was particularly dynamic. Deals in the €50-500m range enjoyed a nice uptick last year: the €2.2bn worth of transactions in this segment trumped the €883m recorded in 2010, and came close to matching 2009 levels.

Notable mid-cap deals included the €428m buyout of Emitel by Montagu Private Equity as well as the €370m SBO of Zabka Polska by Mid Europa, which both took place in March 2011.
