Private equity (PE) and venture capital (VC) investments in April 2025 decreased to USD 4.7 billion as uncertainty and high valuation expectations of sellers persisted, according to a report.
The Investment deals in April were 6% lower year-on-year and 20% below March's figures. The report, from industry body IVCA and consultancy EY, noted a decline in deal numbers, with April seeing 108 deals, down from 113 a year earlier.
Factors such as government policy, corporate earnings, and reducing global uncertainties could aid recovery in the PE/VC space. Infrastructure led investments with USD 2.4 billion, while start-ups saw an impressive 80% increase, accounting for a major share of activity.
