[Insights from the 2023 M&A Landscape in Africa: Challenges and Opportunities] The latest M&A report from DealMakers Africa reveals a contraction in both the volume and value of mergers and acquisitions across the continent in 2023.

This is officially my first rodeo on LinkedIn!!! The past few months have totally been integral to my development with lots of amazing back stories. Moving forward, my team at ValuQuest and I have decided to initiate research coverages on companies in a number of sectors in Nigeria to help develop valuable experiences. We’re to look into sectors like: Power Financial Services Industrial Goods Telecommunications …plus any other one we find interesting Sectors are selected exclusively based on the listed NSE 30 firms. Attached is a report on the coverage of GEREGU POWER PLC, one of the leading players in the Nigerian upstream power sector and is located in Delta state Nigeria. The valuation incorporates a blend of the DCF Exit Multiple and Trade comparables (with peers across Nigeria and other Sub-Sahara African countries), resulting in a fair 12-month target price of ₦870.25 Huge appreciations to Adeoti Sheriffdeen, Favour T. Obijole and Wisdom Odusanya for the insights and reviews. Over the next few weeks, my colleagues and I will be looking into the financial sector (UBA and United Capital), industrial goods (BUA Cement), telecommunications (MTN).

The President of the Kyrgyz Republic has signed a decree to establish the National Investment Fund (https://lnkd.in/dEMtJjWy). Government shares of state-owned enterprises will be transferred to the National Investment Fund's portfolio to enhance management efficiency, ensure sustainable growth, and attract investments from local and international capital markets. In addition to improving the financial and operational efficiency of portfolio companies, the Fund will implement best corporate governance practices, such as merit-based appointments, performance-based rewards, independent oversight and transparency, and will support economic development through state programs and investment projects. Similar approaches are increasingly common in Central Asia. In Uzbekistan, the State Assets Management Agency (#SAMA) has supervised privatizing state-owned enterprises and assets in key sectors since 2019. In Kazakhstan the state-owned sovereign wealth fund Samruk Kazyna owns shares in the largest national companies in oil and gas, transport, chemical production, mining, telecom and real estate sectors. #kyrgyzstan #investments #privatization #soe

CEO at Outpost | Eurasia - a leading public affairs & policy advisory in Central Asia, Mongolia and South Caucasus. Ex-Apple, ex-Phillips executive
Kyrgyzstan is consolidating state-owned enterprises under the new Investment Fund, to instill operational excellence, bring transparency, take up corporate governance onto levels believed not to be attained by the companies in focus themselves. But these measures are not an end in itself, the primary goal is to prep them to go public, domestically or internationally. Because state ownership never proved effective anywhere in the world. In a sense the country is following the footsteps of its neighbors, and so many others in a more distant past. However, it is of utmost importance to learn from mistakes, done extensively across Eurasian markets, and apply best practices from around the world. Singapore's TEMASEK in 1974 started as a national holding for underperforming state-owned enterprises and now completely changed its profile and turned into global investment company with assets just under $300bln.
