The African private capital industry demonstrated resilience in the face of highly volatile macroeconomic conditions. After an outlier year in 2022 marked by a frenzied venture capital investment activity, the industry embarked on a journey towards deal stability and normalcy. In this environment, 2023 emerged as the second strongest year on record in terms of deal volume, surpassing both the average number of deals (264) reported from 2012 to 2022 and the average of 387 deals from 2019 to 2022. Ahead of the upcoming AVCA Conference and VC Summit, we provide insight into Africa’s dealmaking activity by sector according to AVCA’s recently released 2023 African Private Capital Activity Report. Catch up with our team at the conference organised by AVCA - The African Private Capital Association where they’ll share their diverse insights and perspectives on shaping the future of private capital in Africa.

On 18 September, SGEF Poland and the European Investment Bank (EIB) signed an agreement to provide further support to Polish Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) 🤝 With the new EIB financing of €100 million, SGEF Poland will provide loans worth a total of €200 million, notably for ‘green’ investment projects. A key element of the agreement is the requirement that at least 20% of the funds be allocated for sustainable development, particularly those contributing to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This is the 10th financing agreement concluded between the EIB and SGEF Poland, part of their ongoing cooperation since 2010. The new agreement allows SGEF Poland to continue and increase its active support of sustainable development, in line with SGEF’s strategic objectives.

We are very pleased to announce, that we have entered into a binding agreement for the sale our portfolio in Egypt, Italy and Croatia to Carlyle for an enterprise value of up to $945 million. This offer represents 3x+ return since the assets were acquired in 2020. At closing, a special dividend of up to $200m is intended to be declared. The divestment enables Energean to focus on its core #gas-weighted assets in Israel and Morocco, to maximise free cash flow generation and returns to shareholders.  Energean will now evaluate opportunities beyond the Mediterranean in the wider EMEA region, particularly where there is long-term demand and policy support for gas, both in terms of #energysecurity & #sustainabledevelopment. As CEO Mathios Rigas comments “This deal represents an exciting new chapter for Energean. Today we have realised a significant return on the investment made when we acquired this portfolio over four years ago. The transaction delivers on our strategy and Energean’s ability to maximise value for our shareholders. It maintains our highly disciplined approach to capital allocation, as demonstrated by the accretive transaction metrics, coupled with an anticipated special dividend." “Looking ahead, this transaction unlocks management capacity and financial flexibility to drive future growth. Our focus will now be to create enhanced value from our Israel assets, and evaluate new opportunities that fit Energean’s key business drivers: paying a reliable dividend, deleveraging, growth, and our commitment to Net Zero. “Carlyle is the right custodian of the asset base and will create an excellent home for our colleagues. We wish them every success and look forward to watching their progress. I want to thank all of our colleagues based in Egypt, Italy and Croatia for their hard work and dedication over the years.” Panos Benos Angelos Mastrantonis Paddy Blewer Eliana Fishler Sotiris Chiotakis Caroline Hegazi, MBA Antonino Caliri Kyrah Mckenzie Maria Martin https://lnkd.in/e3QkX8AR
