Blackstone's Gray on UK Policies, Private Credit, Impact of Iran War

Blackstone President and Chief Operating Officer Jon Gray says the UK government’s attempts to balance the books through higher taxes are pushing entrepreneurs to move abroad. In an interview for the upcoming podcast series, Leaders with Francine Lacqua which launches March 16, Gray also says that recent ructions in the world of private credit aren't indicative of systemic issues. He also expects dealmaking to pick up sooner than people expect despite a pause in transactions because of the Middle East conflict. (Source: Bloomberg)
