DEUTSCHE BANK RESEARCH

"European banks can’t be happy about 2016"
It was a difficult time for the European banking industry. As the Deutsche Bank Report says, revenues declined across the board. It led to cost and net income decreases by almost 50%. Banks tried to stay safe – and it led to stagnation for they resorted to aggressive de-risking. Lending to companies was slightly positive, and loans to households were up 2% in the Euro area. Interest margins, however, contracted by about 7% due to the further fall in the overall rates level. In total, this led to a significant drop in net interest income of 5%. On the contrary, the banks in the United States had nothing to worry about: they continued to grow as well as established a new record in terms of nominal profits, widening the gap between the American and European banking sector.

ROLAND BERGER EUROPEAN PRIVATE EQUITY OUTLOOK 2017

Chinese investors to increase their involvement in the European market
Political uncertainty is moderately dampening sentiment in the private equity (PE) sector in 2017: only about half of companies expect a growing number of M&A transactions with a PE background – as compared to almost two thirds in 2016. They forecast the bulk of PE activity in Spain, Portugal and Germany, with the outlook weakest for the UK and Greece. The top issue for 2017 is likely to be the rise in competition from Chinese investors, who are most interested in M&A deals in the capital goods and technology sectors as well as in the automotive industry. These are some of the findings of this year's European Private Equity Outlook for which Roland Berger once again polled the opinions of private equity investors from across Europe.
