Private equity will maintain high activity in 2023 despite the economic context, encouraged by the still high capital transfer from markets to funds, by the interest of international funds in the Spanish market and by the strength of solid and resilient long-term strategic sectors such as energy transformation, education, health and insurance... and, of course, by the real estate sector.

That said, private equity is a sector that has historically shown that it is capable of dealing with even more difficult situations than this one".KPMG stresses.
