On September 9, 2019, Equity Group Holdings announced that it had entered talks with some shareholders of Banqué Commerciale du Congo (BCDC) to acquire a controlling stake in the Congolese bank. This move marks a significant step in the company's Africa expansion strategy.
Equity Group, which already operates a subsidiary in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), stated that the talks were likely to result in a cash transaction. However, the company did not disclose the identities of the BCDC shareholders involved in the negotiations.
Equity Group's expansion into the African market is a strategic move aimed at increasing its presence and offerings in the region. The company's leadership, under the guidance of James Mwangi, has been instrumental in driving this growth.
