Dealmaking by private equity firms hit its lowest in four years, under pressure from high interest rates, recession fears, and a weak outlook for corporate earnings, although some analysts predict stored-up funding will drive a near-term rebound. Private equity deal volumes slumped 63 percent from the same period last year to $293.5 billion, data from Dealogic showed. Higher borrowing costs have led private equity to pursue fewer deals and avoid businesses with unpredictable cash flows. Since the start of the year, buyout firms have been unable to secure cheap debt and have had to draw on their own funds, marking a departure from traditional leveraged buyouts.

CEBU CITY, Philippines — As power consumption goes up this warm season, the Visayan Electric Company appeals for energy conservation from its consumers. Quennie Sanchez, VECO reputation enhancement department head, said simple actions such as opening the windows in the room to let the outdoor air come in to maintain the temperature inside fairly stable, and making sure that appliances are well-maintained, are already a big help in saving energy. Bronce said that while an increase in power demand would not automatically translate to higher power rates, it could translate into higher bills for the consumer and could affect the power situation outlook in the region.
