New Zealand's private equity market is emerging from the recession in a positive frame, according to a new report released today by Ernst & Young and the NZVCA.

Results of the report - the seventh full-year New Zealand Private Equity and Venture Capital Monitor 2009 - show significant increase in activity compared with 2008, both in terms of the number and value of deals.

The rise in overall activity saw $645.1 million of activity in 2009 compared to $224.6 million in 2008. Medium-sized private equity deals were resilient, and angel investor-led venture capital activity increased significantly.
