The number of reported corporate deals in East Africa dropped by nearly a fifth in the first seven months of the year compared to the corresponding period in 2023, largely due to reduced activity in Kenya.

Deals data compiled by advisory firm I&M Burbidge Capital shows that the count fell to 73 between January and July from 89 in 2023.
