There have been rumours that Bata could be winding up operations and exiting the Kenyan market. Is this the case?

I oversee five regions which are Asia, India, Africa and the Middle East as one, Europe and Latin America. Of these five, the Africa and the Middle East business, which is headquartered out of Kenya, is our fastest growing region. In 2023, we are seeing growth in high double digits when compared to 2022.
