PANEL | Private equity, private debt, venture capital, real estate, and other private markets have historically reaped the benefits of increased capital inflows and strong relative performance. However, concerns arise amidst a challenging macroeconomic environment, leading to questions about the future of private markets. According to market analysts, while near-term growth is expected to be relatively moderate, the long-term outlook remains optimistic, with the US$10 trillion private markets industry projected to grow at a compounded annual rate of 12% to reach US$17 trillion in assets over the next four years. 

This positive trajectory is underpinned by rising allocations, new growth engines, and the strong track record of private markets compared to public markets. In this panel session, industry peers will delve into the implications of this for digital infrastructure finance and investment, with a specific focus on private markets. Key topics to be addressed include:

•	Understanding the impact of the challenging macroeconomic environment on private equity, venture capital, and real estate investments.

•	Exploring the factors driving the long-term growth potential of the private markets industry.

•	Uncovering opportunities and strategies for leveraging the growth trajectory of private markets in digital infrastructure finance and investment.
