4th Edition of the Africa Transactions Observatory 🔍   In 2023, under the influence of global crises and internal challenges, Africa experienced a significant slowdown in transaction dynamics, with the number of deals dropping from 1,851 in 2022 to just 1,299 the following year.   However, the 4th quarter of 2023 marked a real turning point, thanks to sustained confidence from private #investors and companies, which led to a significant increase in the number of deals across the continent.   In light of this new #dynamic, several questions arise: 📊 Which regions are attracting the most investments?  🤝 Which key players are contributing to the continent's economic #development?  🚀 Which sectors are particularly drawing investors' interest?    As in previous years, our experts have complemented this study with a detailed article that highlights Africa's emergence as a catalyst for investment opportunities in Renewables Sector and associated natural resources.   👉 To learn more, discover the study by our experts: https://lnkd.in/eqeMtTUQ   KPMG France, Christophe Bringer, Charles Abbey, Mohamed Ali Ben Ayed, Aicha BELOUZDAD-HAMRANI, Lotfi Abdi, Rohit Verma. #MakeTheDifference #Deal #Transactions #Africa

“INVEST IN CAMEROON”: The DACC, of which I was the head of mission until the closure of its activities on May 31, 2024, produced the practical guide “Invest in Cameroon” (the first twenty pages, including the plan, in attachment ). This is a document which, according to the Cameroonian Minister of the Economy (MINEPAT), "provides practical information on investment procedures in Cameroon", and "explains how to take advantage of the incentives available "; it is intended to raise awareness and inform national and international private operators about the business opportunities.  I am publishing its content today in anticipation of the "TABM" or Tunisian Africa Business Meetings which will take place in Tunis at the beginning of July (during two days, Cameroonian companies, and other african companies, will meet potential investors). But this guide is valid in all circumstances and I invite all those who are interested in Cameroon to massively share this publication. Furthermore, those who are interested in the complete document (which I was unable to publish on Linkedin) can write to me at raouf.jaoua@gmail.com    Raouf Jaoua former Head of Mission of the DACC

According to The African Economic Outlook (AEO) 2024 report, released in May 2024 by the African Development Bank, Africa's structural transformation has been slow and uneven. As a result, Africa was the only region of the world where the average real GDP per capita contracted in the 1980s and 1990s. The continent is grappling with financing shortfalls that put at risk its ability to meet its Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, to meet its infrastructure development needs, and to finance climate change mitigation measures, among others. This blog, co-authored by the African Development Bank Group’s Adamon Mukasa and Anthony Simpasa, looks unflinchingly at the results of decades of underfinancing of Africa’s public sector. The blog also makes an urgent call for, among others, greater access to concessional development financing at scale.
