In this article the author analyzes the transformation of the Private Equity in Southeast Asia over the past several years in the face of macroeconomic changes worldwide. The research purpose is to examine the relation between the global financial markets’ crisis and growth rate of Southeast Asian private equity market. According to the author the development of private investments sector is considered to be dynamic economic growth, improvement of standards in the area of business ethics, as well as geopolitical stability, the competitiveness of local economies and valuations on the largest stock exchange markets in the region. The author shows that global investors and financial institutions in times of recession in the first place withdraw their commitment from the markets on the earlier stage of development and political stability. Southeast Asia was not the exception in the face of recent economic slowdown. According to the author, the correction that occurred at the local Private Equity Market, however, was transient and happened in varying degrees throughout the world. In a broader sense, however, the activity of private equity firms grows in the region, whose interest in investments is mainly correlated with the rate of GDP growth that remians in Southeast Asia at a relatively high level.
