Private credit deals rise 47% to $7.8 bn in 2023
Financial Express Mumbai|February 23, 2024
PRIVATE CREDIT DEALS have seen a jump of 47% in CY2023 to $7.8 billion in value terms compared to $5.3 billion in CY 2022, said auditing and consultancy firm EY in a report.

The number of deals went up to 108 in 2023 from 77 in 2022, the report said.

The increase in both deal count and value was fuelled by several factors, including the stabilisation of interest rates in CY 2023, heightened activity within the real estate sector and a notable increase in deal value resulting from certain large transactions executed during the year, it said.

The surge in deal value was also driven by the Shapoorji Pallonji group's refinancing and Oaktree's Vedanta group investment totaling $2.4 billion. This validates the presence of stress/special situation opportunities and aligns with EY's January 2023 survey, where 38% of fund managers predicted stress-related deals as the primary driver for private credit deals in CY 2023, it added.
