Robust deal making in Brazil provided a bright spot amid a global slowdown in emerging-market private-equity activity during the first half of 2019, new industry data show.
Private-capital firms invested a total of $3.11 billion across 65 transactions in Brazil this year through June, more than doubling the amount invested in the same period last year and surpassing the $3.01 billion invested through 180 deals during all of 2018, according to data released Tuesday by the Emerging Markets Private Equity Association.
