This marks the steepest decline in private capital volumes in over a decade, fueled by a slowdown in venture capital investments and sizable transactions, according to the report. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The value of transactions rose 35% y-o-y in 2H 2023<\/strong>, mainly on the back of two large infrastructure projects in South Africa\u2019s renewable energy sector, each exceeding USD 250 mn and accounting for 27% of total investment value during the period.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Macroeconomic challenges weighed heavily:<\/strong> Africa grappled with soaring inflation in 2023, reaching 17.8%, its highest level in over a decade, propelled by global spikes in food and energy prices, domestic \u201cfiscal extravagance,\u201d disruptions in agricultural supply chains, and currency depreciations against the USD. North Africa bore the brunt of headwinds, with inflation doubling to 16.6% y-o-y.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The continent\u2019s favorite asset class, venture capital, experienced a major slowdown<\/strong>, both on the continent and globally. Still, VCs contributed to 68% of total investment volume, with the financials sector taking the lead. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Exit activity also witnessed a 48% y-o-y decline in 2023<\/strong>,<strong> <\/strong>as the continent saw 42 exits in total during the year, unchanged from 2022, according to the report. North Africa was hit the hardest due to limited exits in Egypt, Africa\u2019s primary exit market, while South Africa demonstrated resilience with only a 17% decline. Sales to trade buyers remained the most common exit route. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Some respite:<\/strong> Interim fundraising remained resilient, with Africa-focused fund managers achieving a record 40 interim closes valued at USD 3 bn, the highest to date. While overall fundraising declined for a second year, the overall trend saw larger funds take the backseat for smaller ones, which made up 65% of total closed funds, growing 1.6x in volume and 2.6x in value. <\/p>\n<hr style=\"height:2px;border-width:0;color:gray;background-color:gray\">\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>US institutional investors offload PE holdings amid liquidity concerns:<\/strong> Institutional investors in the US, including pension funds and endowments, are selling off private equity holdings at lower than their value to reduce exposure to illiquid assets, amidst a subdued market for traditional exits like stock listings and mergers, the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/a1612484-6511-41f3-9e3a-83eb2dea0347\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Financial Times<\/a> writes.
