Private Equity in Emerging Markets

Emerging markets are becoming a major force in global private equity. International investors are attracted to the general storyline of private equity in emerging markets due to these regions' rapid economic growth (driven by an expanding middle class, significant investment in domestic infrastructure, high rural-to-urban migration, and increased population wealth), more responsible public finance decisions, reduced debt, improved corporate governance regimes, and diminished reliance on foreign exports. This timely collection captures the essence of private equity development in emerging markets. Private Equity in Emerging Markets examines the evolution of the private equity industry as well as exit opportunities, financial performance, and anticipated future trends. Also discussed are the 'hands-on' aspects of private equity investing in emerging markets, including fundraising, investing, and operational challenges. Unique to this timely book are contributions from experts in private equity in emerging markets from across the globe.
