Private Equity Industry and Funding Instrument Analysis in the Post-Covid-19 Pandemic Era

Abstract

A rising number of academic papers have analyzed the negative impacts of the COVID-19 epidemic on the financial markets. However, the thorough research of the pandemic's effects on financial markets and lifestyle changes remains relatively unexplored. Based on research and data from the world's major economies, including Europe and North America, this paper empirically analyses, forecasts, and assesses the worldwide private equity business and its prevalent financing techniques, as well as emerging financing methods. Due to the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the results indicate that some leveraged or stable companies have favorable medium-term prospects, but the long-term impact may be little. In addition, the pandemic has altered the way people live in certain regions and accelerated the growth of certain sectors, such as online education and artificial intelligence. The author also concludes that, despite the fact that the new finance methods may partially replace the traditional ones, their inadequacies are revealed.
