🌍 Decline In Venture Capital Triggers Slowdown In #WestAfrica
The #privatecapital industry has faced its share of challenges in the current macroeconomic landscape, impacting #dealmaking in Africa.
📉 Notably, West Africa bore the brunt of this decline, experiencing a substantial 59% drop YoY in Q3 2023, and a 59% drop in 2023 YTD compared to the same period in 2022. This decline can be directly attributed to the decrease in #venturecapital investments, which has historically been a driving force for deal activity in the region.
However, West Africa is not to be underestimated - despite the ongoing slowdown, the region still dominated, capturing 36% of all venture capital deals in Africa in Q3 2023.
