LBOs in the MENA region

Faten Moussa

Chapter 96 in Elgar Encyclopedia of Mergers and Acquisitions, 2026, pp 246-248 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter explores the unique dynamics of leveraged buyouts (LBOs) in the MENA region, highlighting challenges such as regulatory barriers, limited capital markets, and political instability. It examines the smaller scale of LBOs compared to global counterparts and covers notable transactions like Gulf Capital's acquisition of Edita Food Industries. Despite the hurdles, the chapter underscores the potential for growth with improving economic conditions and increasing private equity investments.
