Banks are starting to finance larger operations again. Is this a sign of better days to come? After slowing down for more than a year, the activity of French investment funds recovered somewhat at the end of last year.

Despite the rapid rise in interest rates which increased the cost of debt and therefore of operations, investment funds invested 10.8 billion euros in companies not listed on the stock exchange in the second half of 2023. Which remains far from the record of 15.9 billion euros reached in theSecond half of 2021.
