Dealmakers Dialogues Johannesburg: M&A Headwinds and Horizons in South Africa in 2024

Sluggish economic growth, rising inflation and interest rates, high unemployment, and ongoing geopolitical risks, impacted M&A in South Africa last year. Nevertheless, dealmakers remain optimistic that cooling inflation and rate cuts are on the horizon and that the worst may be over. So, will 2024 be different? And if so, where will the deals be done?

Join us in Johannesburg at Datasite’s Dealmakers Dialogues series for an engaging breakfast and networking session with market leaders and dealmakers, where we’ll take a close look at what’s driving M&A dealmaking in South Africa this year.

At this breakfast session, you’ll have a chance to:
