Deal activity slows due to economic uncertainty, but pent-up demand builds

Rates remain stubbornly high, job growth is slowing, and business and consumer confidence are dipping.

As conditions normalize, we expect to see a stronger wave of deal activity ahead. Thanks to Pitchbook for the dashboard.   #PrivateEquity #MergersAndAcquisitions #Macro
