Private equity interest continued in the retail sector, driven by lower
valuations due to the on-going volatility in the stock markets and economic
slowdown globally.
However, public offerings have been affected due to economic slowdown in the
US and Europe, combined with volatility in capital markets. Retail sector
public offerings were down 42.8% in volume terms, as compared with the average
of the last six months.
