After the strong performance of private credit markets post-pandemic, European markets saw a slowdown in 2023 with fundraising and deal volumes falling back. But market participants expect a stronger year in 2024. Our regional guide profiles all the major markets, and explains why France is consolidating its place as number one for private debt in Europe.
Investors are opening their eyes to the direct lending opportunities in Europe. In our PDI Europe Report 2023, we survey the current state of the debt market across Europe and find out why France has overtaken the UK for the first time in terms of deals. Global fund managers are also looking further afield for deals, with some of the larger private debt funds considering opening offices in Warsaw.
Despite unprecedented macroeconomic uncertainty, private credit funds in Europe enjoyed the busiest Q2 on record this year in terms of deal volumes, as alternative lenders stepped into the gap left by banks and public markets. Our Europe Report 2022 looks at how this shifting landscape has thrown up a set of opportunities for debt investors. Check out our European Regional Guide to see how the different markets compare.
European markets are rebounding fast with opportunities growing across the continent. Private Debt Investor’s first-ever Regional Guide to Europe charts country trends across the continent and portrays an optimistic picture of a maturing market where debt funds are continuing to take market share from banks, with Germany, Spain and the Benelux region among the stand-out performers.
