Blackstone’s CEO Steve Schwarzman has announced that the company is planning to invest up to $500 billion (approximately €440 billion) into Europe over the next 10 years.
The global investment powerhouse oversees more than $1 trillion in assets, focused on real estate, private equity, infrastructure, life sciences, growth equity, credit, real assets, secondaries and hedge funds.
Mr Schwarzman announced this in an interview on Bloomberg Television, highlighting the growing optimism about the region’s future potential.
He described Europe as a “major opportunity” for the company, which has already invested nearly $100 billion in the United Kingdom.
What could this mean?
Right now, Europe’s economic potential is looking strong, mainly due to the changes in global politics influenced by US President Donald Trump. These changes are pushing Europe to take a different approach and attempt to become more self-reliant.
One of these examples is that the European Union is now investing more on defense, an area that private investors usually ignore.
Mr Schwarzman said that this new approach “will result in higher growth rates,” noting that the recent tariff wars have worked out “amazingly well for us.”
