Sub-Saharan Africa Q2 2023 M&A Quarterly | deal-making up after muted Q1

African-focused independents continue to be the most active acquirers, and with material offshore early-life opportunities coming to market (e.g. Baleine and Venus), we see the large independent peer group emerging once again.
