Private Equity Europe | Geographic Distribution

europe Private Equity EuropePrivate Equity Info has supplied some helpful data on the geographic distribution of private equity. Previously, I had shown the geographic distribution within the United States (for that post, follow this link).

The following chart reveals the geographic distribution of private equity in Europe. The highest concentration of private equity activity, measured either by private equity firms or portfolio companies, is in the United Kingdom, France and Germany. Interestingly, the top ten countries are the same in either category–firm or portfolio company–only rearranged. Here is the list of private equity distribution by European country:
