PE-VC investments more than halve to $1.2bn in Aug

Private Equity and Venture Capital investments witnessed a significant decline in August, plummeting by 55% to $1.2 billion compared to $2.8 billion in the same period last year. A notable absence of US-based investors engaging in large PE deals contributed to this downturn. Year-to-date investments also experienced a decrease of 16.5%, reaching $18.4 billion.
