Executive Briefing · 10 August 2026
African capital goes on offer. The risk stack reprices with it.
The continent's largest-ever IPO is being marketed while strategic buyers close on East African banks, breweries and ports at full control premiums. The bid for African assets is real and it is funded. Behind it, the risk stack moved too: AI now powers most of the continent's cybercrime, Cairo's disinflation just reversed, and three elections will test policy continuity within ninety days.
