Untapped power of mergers and acquisitions to save Kenyan businesses
Martha explains that mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are gaining momentum in Kenya as businesses seek strategic avenues to navigate financial pressures and unlock growth opportunities. M&A activity has notably increased over the past two years, reflecting a strong recovery from the slowdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Martha further notes that the World Bank’s projected 5.2% economic growth rate for Kenya between 2024 and 2026 is largely supported by a strengthening private sector and rising business confidence.
While M&A remains relatively underutilised for business rescue initiates in Kenya, Martha emphasises that it presents a valuable and structured approach for companies to restructure debt, safeguard operations, and protect stakeholder interests.
