Held on Tuesday, 28 May 2013

 Listen to the Playback

It´s not unusual to hear that private equity dealmaking in Brazil has become too expensive and that multiples have risen higher in the past year. But how much of that is actually true and how much is an assumption without fundamentals? Some segments of the economy, especially the consumer sector are showing rapid expansion. Education and healthcare for instance are currently experiencing market consolidation. And, in spite of the apparent negativity evidenced by the macroeconomic picture, global and local private equity investors are still optimistic about opportunities in the country.
