Investments by regional funds

The volume of investments backed by regional initiatives has followed the general market curve of recent years: after the boom year of 2007, they plunged.
Moreover, deal numbers continued falling in 2011, a year which was slightly stronger than 2010 in terms of buyouts overall.
But regional focus is very important in times of economic turmoil. As financing is not as readily available as before, something must bridge the gap until the economy is more affluent again. PE houses with a regional focus can fill this role, drive local development and thus strengthen the economy from the bottom up.
Despite this and a number of government initiatives, regional investments have continued to decline since the 08/09 crisis.
