“The continued rise of investor interest across Africa,” an article by Akin Gump partner Weyinmi Popo has been published by African Law & Business.
As the article’s title notes, African investment has continued to rise. As Popo writes, “[T]he last 12 months have seen a huge resurgence in deal activity, fund raising and overall investor confidence in Africa.”
The article covers a wide range of topics ranging from tech and technology fund raising, the “stand-out sector in terms of investor interest,” according to Popo; deal activity, focusing on private equity funds; special purpose acquisition companies, or SPACs; ESG; the outlook for 2022; and more.
Popo closes with the thought: “2021 turned out to have been a good year for African M&A and private equity. With a fair wind, there is no reason to expect that 2022 will not be better.”
