Private equity (PE) investment in Africa has seen a remarkable upswing in recent years. This trend is expected to continue, which makes Africa an attractive destination for private equity investors who want to leverage the continent’s growth potential. The value of investments made by private capital firms in Africa remained strong despite economic uncertainty throughout the year, closing 2022 with private capital firms reporting investments worth USD 7.6 B. Although Africa presents some promising opportunities for private equity investors, the industry is not without its challenges. The partners leading the Africa team have been investing on the continent for over two decades and are among the pioneers of private equity in Africa.
