Business climate increases as the year draws to a close

German Private Equity Barometer 4th Quarter 2014

The German Private Equity Barometer, calculated by KfW and the BVK, showed a rise in sentiment at the end of the year, with the business climate indicator for the German equity capital market increasing in the fourth quarter of 2014 by 9.6 points to 57.4 balance points. The business climate improved particularly in the early stage segment, with sentiment once again on par with the late stage segment. Equity investors’ assessment of the fundraising climate is better than ever. They do, however, appear to be dissatisfied with the current entry prices and deal flow quality.
