German Private Equity Barometer 2nd Quarter 2025

Sentiment in the German private equity market soared in early summer. The business climate indicator for the segment of the private equity capital market that targets investments in established enterprises rocketed by 33.3 points to -3.9 balance points and is now just slightly below its long-term average. That was the second highest rise of the indicator since measurements began. Current business situation assessments and business expectations have both improved massively. According to media reports, international capital investors intend to focus more on Europe as a result of US economic and fiscal policy. The hope that this will generate an influx of capital appears to be the driver of the broad sentiment improvement.
