The private credit industry is struggling in Asia:
Asian private credit funds raised just $1.2 billion in the first half of 2026, the lowest amount for this period in at least 10 years.
This marks a sharp decline from $9.5 billion in 2025 and $20.2 billion in 2022.
This comes as only 5 private credit funds completed fundraising, down from 29 funds in 2025 and 53 funds in 2022.
If this pace continues through the second half of the year, 2026 would mark the weakest fundraising year for Asian private credit in at least 12 years.
The decline has been driven by concerns over rising corporate bankruptcies, with higher interest rates and weaker economic conditions putting pressure on heavily indebted companies.
While large institutions are still allocating capital to the asset class, they are becoming increasingly selective, favoring large US managers with stronger track records over smaller Asian funds.
Investor appetite for private credit is weakening globally.

The US government is becoming increasingly dependent on private investors to finance its growing debt burden:
Privately held US Treasury debt maturing within 1 year is up to a record $8.3 trillion.
This figure has DOUBLED over the last 5 years, reflecting the government's growing reliance on short-term financing from private investors.
As more debt shifts into Treasury bills, a larger amount must be refinanced every year, leaving borrowing costs increasingly sensitive to interest rates and investor demand.
At the same time, foreign central banks are reducing their share of Treasury holdings, making private investors absorb a larger portion of new issuances.
As a result, the Treasury market is becoming increasingly dependent on investor demand and liquidity conditions rather than the stable long-term buyers that have traditionally anchored it.
With US public debt at an all-time high, even modest disruptions in funding markets could have an outsized impact on borrowing costs.
Treasury refinancing risks are intensifying.
