Private equity firms launch initiatives to tackle impact of Covid-19
This week saw a further unravelling of the global economy as around half of the world’s population is under lockdown. US unemployment figures are expected to exceed those of the Great Depression as a result of the crisis. Many private equity groups have set up their own relief funds and initiatives to help those immediately affected by Covid-19, socially as well as economically. As UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson remains in hosiptal and the country likely to extend its stringent lockdown measures, the BVCA urged the Government to provide bridge funding for early stage businesses in Britain. All over the world, similar economic rescue packages are being implemented – which themselves change the course of events and market forecasts – something all businesses are monitoring, navigating and adapting to. In these times of great uncertainty, it is difficult to predict anything for sure beyond the next few days. Private Equity Wire sends our best wishes for the Easter Weekend, hoping it might be a time of either focused productivity, some well needed rest, or time for quiet reflection.
