Africa: A Private Equity Opportunity Like No Other

“The Fastest-Growing Economies in the World Are Here. So Are We.”

Africa is home to seven of the ten fastest-growing economies globally, including Ghana, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Ivory Coast. With a rising middle class, under-penetrated sectors, and rapid adoption of mobile and digital platforms, the continent offers extraordinary alpha potential for private equity firms ready to invest.

The young, tech-savvy population, growing infrastructure, and a wave of regulatory reforms are opening up opportunities in sectors like:

• Fintech

• Agribusiness

• Logistics

• Healthcare

• Energy

• E-commerce

• Manufacturing

• Infrastructure

 Why Enter Now?

• First-mover advantage in scaling sectors

• Accelerating capital markets reform and exit options

• Surge in sovereign fund and impact capital co-investments

• Rise of AfCFTA (African Continental Free Trade Area) creating a unified trade bloc

• Public-private partnerships (PPPs) actively encouraged
