CHINA'S private equity industry may rebound in 2013 on a possible recovery in initial public offerings and a better economic outlook, a report by PricewaterhouseCoopers said.
The number and size of PE deals may rise in the second quarter of 2013, reversing a slowdown this year on a weak stock market and a global economic downturn, the report said yesterday.
"Investment and divestment activities are likely to accelerate next year on a positive outlook for the global economy, and China continues to adopt market-oriented economic reforms," said Gao Jianbin, leader of PwC private equity group for central China. "Declining stock prices have resulted in a more reasonable company evaluation."
He predicted the number and value of PE deals to rise next year after investors seeking deals in the PE industry surged in the latter half of this year.
"The mainland IPOs may recover next year after the stock market stabilizes, although prices and numbers may not return to the previous level," Gao said. "More PE funds are likely to divest through buy-outs."
The report said PE and venture capital firms may raise less money to invest in China this year as they raised US$35.8 billion in the first three quarters, trailing last year's record of US$48 billion.
