Atta Africa Financial Update
Key commercial and political activity in Africa for private equity investors by DCE Partners, UK Private Equity advisors to Atta.
Executive summary: Global capital fuelling African property markets.
Property developers and private equity funds continue to pour investment into the continent, but with more focused strategies: over US$1.2 billion has been raised and allocated to real estate investment in Africa over the past year and there are expectations of this trend to continue.
The last year has seen Actis, RMB Westport, Novare, Phatisa and Growthpoint successfully raising capital from global funds such as GIC Singapore, Grosvenor, The IFC, CDC Group among other international funds.
The effects of the currency and liquidity issues have been sharply felt across the continent but most notably in the larger oil driven commodity exporting countries. This has resulted in a shift towards economic diversification and countries in the East African region providing more economic stability than others.
