Deals by volume and value
The private equity market picked up slightly in April and though deals were still worth less than a quarter of their corresponding 2007 value, the USD 29,203 million total was the highest seen so far this calendar year.
In monetary terms, leveraged deals gained almost a quarter from March’s USD 23,503 million, though the increase came after a difficult end to the first quarter and returned deal values to just above February levels.
Transaction numbers continued to fall, with the 247 deals made over the four weeks representing a decline of almost a third year-on-year and bringing a new 12-month low.
