AsiaBusinessInvestor.com, a web portal connecting entrepreneurs and private investors in Asia and the Middle-East, recently released the results of a survey of the current investment climate for private investment in unlisted companies in Asia.
Responding to the survey 45% of those involved in raising capital and investing in private unlisted companies surveyed claim that banks in Asia are not at all supportive of private investment and entrepreneurship. Only 12% believe that banks are very supportive and 43% believe that banks are only partially supportive.
Key survey highlights:
- Approximately, 60% think that the economic environment will improve in the next 12 months
- 64% think that now is a good time to invest in private and unlisted companies in Asia
The survey was conducted with AsiaBusinessInvestor.com’s database of over 4,000 investors, intermediaries and those seeking to raise private capital in Asia in unlisted private companies.
The median deal size is between US$250,000-$500,000 with a third (33%) of the surveyed respondents involved in deals over US$1 million and 10% of respondents involved in private investments more than US$10 million.
