A sunnier outlook for Spain
Article Abstract:
The Spanish and Portuguese management buyout markets remain small but are growing, with the number of deals in Spain rising by 40% to 21 in 1994, while Portugal recorded six deals. The total value of deals rose to a record 215 million pounds sterling in Portugal in 1994, five times the 1993 level, due mainly to two deals. In Spain, there was a six-fold rise in the value, to 218 million pounds. Many deals in Portugal and Spain are still initiated by investors, and some family-owned firms still resist selling to buy-ins and buyouts. However, management buyouts are slowly becoming more accepted.

The most important source of buyouts in Spain is non-domestic deals, with the number of such deals rising to eight. There are no clear trends in the Portuguese market, where buyout activity remains very limited.
