Private Equity in Poland focuses on the evolution of private equity in
Poland.
Poland represents the most developed private equity industry in Central and
Eastern Europe and is one of the leaders in emerging markets worldwide. There is a growing
interest in private equity in emerging markets around the world which has been fuelled by
the extraordinary economic growth, attractive investment opportunities, exciting exit
choices, and handsome returns; Poland is one of these markets. The development of private
equity in Poland may serve as a blueprint for other emerging market countries like India
and China.
