The Weekly Roundup of Africa's Private Capital News |
|
Greetings!
We hope you and your colleagues continue to fare well in the current pandemic. Here's your weekly wrap of deal and fundraising activity in Africa's private capital markets. We hope it helps to keep you connected with what's going on in the market, especially since so many of us are working from our home offices and not able to keep abreast of what's happening in the markets as easily as before.
Thank you for being part of Africa Capital Digest's community and please contact us details of your deals or your suggestions on new topics or ways to improve our coverage by emailing our Publisher Allan Cunningham today.
Best wishes to everyone for a healthy, productive week.
