Financing Leveraged Buyouts in Asia: Opportunities and Obstacles
BY NACHUM KAPLAN, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, IFR ASIA
In just a few years, the leveraged buyout market transformed itself from a relative backwater market to one of the most dynamic areas of the world’s capital markets. But the collapse of the US sub-prime market and the ensuing credit squeeze brought the boom in the US and Europe to an abrupt end. With it, the widely anticipated Asian LBO boom was nipped in the bud.
These are trying times for the big LBO players. Private equity firms, still flushed with cash, are running out of suitable assets to buy in more traditional markets and will need to act soon to maintain their investors’ confidences. The banks, meanwhile, having spent a great deal of time and money rolling out leveraged finance teams in Asia, now need to decide whether to disband them or to start making them pay their way.

- assesses the damage inflicted by the credit squeeze on this exciting sector
