According to Reuters, Martin Brand, head of North American private equity at Blackstone (BX.US), the largest alternative Asset Management company in the Global market, anticipates that improvements in the merger and acquisition environment and a recovery in the new stock market will help the company increase its sales and exit investment projects by more than double next year.

He pointed out that the new stock market has already opened. Capital costs have declined. He also mentioned that the number of projects deployed by private equity funds surged in 2021, and by next year, it will be four years since then, and some well-performing trades will be ready for exit. He believes that large transactions will continue to happen and may even become larger. The financing market is certainly ready.

He also indicated that it is too early to assess the impact of Trump's tariffs and deregulation on the economy, but the industry generally has confidence in the USA economy.
