The Weekly Roundup of Africa's Private Capital News |
|
Greetings!
Here's your weekly preview of Africa Capital Digest's coverage of the recent 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.
A heads up for you - we will soon begin rolling out a campaign offering a 25% discount off full access to our web content next year - if you'd like to get out ahead of it, lock in your rate and save $100 off the price of a membership to the most authoritative coverage on Africa's private capital markets for next year and the 6 preceding years, please sign up clicking on the following link:
We very much hope you take us up on the offer. As always, many thanks 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.
