The acute problems of the banking sector have, unsurprisingly, dominated this year’s corridor discussions. As everybody follows the day’s news closely, it\u2019s not difficult to figure out a good small talk opening line at this year\u2019s Mipim.<\/p>\n
Despite the worrying news, we also have plenty of active investors present at Mipim. Helsinki and Stockholm haven\u2019t ceased to attract investors, and the Nordic countries are still perceived as a stable and safe environment. Yet, few new deals have been closed this year, as the sellers\u2019 valuations so far exceed those of the buyers. A change is expected after the Q2 valuations. Should we expect significant devaluations? Let’s see.<\/p>\n
There is plenty of optimism in the air. The weather is as warm and beautiful as the Finnish summer, and you don\u2019t need to search long to spot a smiling face among this year\u2019s Mipim participants. The transaction teams wait impatiently to get going. Everyone is just hoping for a slightly clearer view of the near future and for some major player to make the first move.<\/p>\n
