The Hungarian private equity market reacted quite sensitively to the 2008-2009
financial crisis. Although not in an equal degree and in the same year, but all of
the market’s fundraising, investment and exit segment suffered a decline.
However, the distrustful economic environment also affected negatively the
traditional financial sources, making it more complicated to obtain bank loans. As
a result of this moderate credit supply, private equity and venture capital
investments became relatively more valuable. This was further strengthened by
the appearance and launch of the so-called hybrid funds in 2010.
Although the paper focuses on the investment segment of the Hungarian private
equity market, as an introduction we also describe briefly Hungary’s macro
environment in the recent years. The rest of the paper analyse private equity
investments from different aspects.
