In the past few years, the Benelux region has emerged as the solid fourth-place market for European private debt, with a growing deal volume placing it behind only the major markets of UK, France and Germany for deal volume.
Provisional H1 figures from advisory firm Duff & Phelps show the Benelux region accounted for 9 percent of European private debt deals in the first half of 2021, hard on the heels of Germany with 11 percent, France with 17 percent and the UK out in front with 44 percent of the market.
