Ignazio Castiglioni describes on Milano Finanza the results achieved by Private Equity sector in 2024, as well as the expectation for the second part of the year, highlighting the core role played by Technology.
We have just passed the halfway point of 2024, and it is time to take stock of the private equity market, which is showing signs of strong recovery and remarkable resilience. In Italy, the technology market—still relatively untapped—offers significant growth potential and investment opportunities. Key sectors to focus on include cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, software, cloud computing, robotics, and automation.
Private equity investments continue to show a certain level of dynamism. The normalization of inflation and the prospect of lower interest rates are fueling greater optimism and a cautious recovery. The anticipated growth in deal activity has not yet fully materialized: in the first half of 2024, global deals reached a value of $621 billion, with a decline in the number of transactions, even though the figures mask a significant improvement in the second quarter.
