Unquote Private Equity Podcast: Nordic 2020 Review
In a series of 2020 reviews, Unquote dives into the data to discover how the various regions of Europe performed during the coronavirus crisis, and what GPs expect for the year ahead.
Much has been made of Sweden's response to Covid-19 and the country's avoidance of stringent national lockdowns, but its private equity market remained as strong as in the previous year. Finland also performed well, in no small part due to its budding tech ecosystem, which will have been bolstered by the supercharged digitalisation trend.
Unquote reporter Katharine Hidalgo welcomes Unquote's Nordic market specialist, Eliza Punshi, to discuss how the Nordic PE industry fared in 2020 and what's on the minds of market players as 2021 beckons.
