The current economic climate legal experts are divided as to
whether the last few months of 2022 will be the right time for some
companies to go private.
No one likes uncertainty, especially investors, so there is
significant interest in how the next few months will pan out for
global and local markets. With the likelihood of recession and an
increase in interest rates facing some economies and ongoing
geo-political tensions, it's a fascinating time for share
markets and companies, especially for those companies considering
going private.
Looming in the shadows of this perfect storm, is the sizeable
ripple effect at the prospect of Brazil's Petrobras going
private and Saudi Arabia relaunching its privatization plan for its
airports. As a result, there is an air of caution and nervous
energy in China and Hong Kong as observers keep an eye on activity
relating to the equity markets.
