More cash flowing into CEE region
A new report shows that 2012 was a record year for fundraising in Central and Eastern Europe
Last year, a total of €3.7 billion was raised for mid-market private equity in the CEE region – up from €700 million the previous year, making it the best-performing European region for private equity, according to a survey carried out by Acanthus Advisers.

The equity market has been affected strongly by the drawn-out financial crisis, evidence of which is the fact that volumes raised in European private equity from 2009 to 2012 are only 40 percent of what was raised in the previous four years.
Fierce competition
The report also states that competition for capital from the world’s emerging markets remains strong, with many investors reducing the allocation for Europe in favor of increased allocation to Asia and other emerging regions.

“The fundraising road looks set to be very crowded in certain regions over the next couple of years, as many firms that have delayed returning to the market will need to seek fresh capital for survival,” he added.
