Moody’s expects APAC private credit growth to slow

Moody's is predicting a slowdown in private credit growth in the Asia-Pacific region over the next year and a half, primarily due to macroeconomic uncertainties, geopolitical tensions, and high interest rates that are dampening investor interest in illiquid assets. This report highlights the challenges that private equity and other illiquid asset sectors face amid global economic instability, potentially impacting fundraising and deployment strategies. Investors and businesses in the region need to adjust their expectations and strategies to navigate this challenging economic environment.
