The economic landscape of Central and Eastern Europe is undergoing rapid change. While cities like Warsaw, Prague, and Bucharest continue to demonstrate strong growth, the region is also experiencing a significant rise in corporate non-performing loans and restructuring cases. With the total value of NPLs reaching €5.4 billion in early 2024, according to Narodowy Bank Polski (NBP), and a +78% increase in new restructuring cases in 2023 compared to the previous year, it's clear that businesses across the region are facing financial pressures. However, this growing pool of distressed assets offers a unique opportunity for investors who can navigate these complexities. At Mercaton Group, we specialize in identifying undervalued assets in this evolving market. By leveraging our expertise, we aim to turn these challenges into long-term opportunities, driving both returns and stability for our partners. We remain committed to investing in solutions that foster economic resilience and help rebuild businesses facing adversity in the region. #MercatonGroup #Defense #EasternEurope #Fund #Investment

The European Commission's newly outlined defence goals confirm what we at Mercaton Group have long anticipated and integrated into our investment philosophy. The EU's mission to harness dual-use and civil-military potential, aggregate demand for defence assets, and propose defence projects of common interest aligns closely with our strategies and future initiatives. Our Mercaton Peacemaker fund, with Tomasz Nietubyc as a CEO, focuses on investing in solutions that prevent conflicts and assist in post-conflict rebuilding, mirroring the EU's objectives to enhance safety and stability across Europe. We believe in leveraging geopolitical trends to foster stability and ensure security. We remain committed to investing in undervalued assets in Central and Eastern Europe, contributing to a safer and more stable continent. #MercatonGroup #Defense #EuropeanCommission #Fund #Investment "EU Flags" by Avramopoulos is licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0.
