Blackstone Inc. is “doubling down” on opportunities in its international credit business, as it targets growth in a broader array of debt including local-currency investments, according the firm’s global credit head.

“There’s a lot more to do for us in Europe and in Asia,” Gilles Dellaert, global head of credit & insurance at Blackstone, said in an interview in Tokyo. “We want to ensure that we’re of the same scale and breadth everywhere around the world.”
