2) What can international private equity firms offer the region, and what are they expecting in return?
3) What are the prospects for the global private equity industry in the medium to long term?

I think the issue is that PE firms are exclusively “foreign”?
If domectic firms had a chance to mature, and use management firms to aid the process, then by all means- go PE and infastructural change
Other than that, it is just a propaganda from the “central” proponents of NWO or globalization, for them to further the cause.
nice debate carried out…
thank you
very informative thank you
