Dubai-based private equity fund Abraaj Group has in recent months invested billions of shillings in local companies, signalling its strong bet on the Kenya economy’s future growth.

The Competition Authority of Kenya (CAK) last month approved Abraaj Group’s acquisition of a 56.2 per cent stake in Kenyan hospital chain Avenue Group, making it the latest of the PE fund’s string of local acquisitions.
