The 2026 EMEA private capital market is bracing for higher interest rates as central banks respond to the current market landscape. The US war with Iran, its impact on energy prices, and the ongoing AI funding craze all contributed to a turbulent H1 2026 environment that US investors visibly withdrew from, now representing only 18% of EMEA private capital deal count.
