In this week's #AliTalksTech Roundup of Tech News from across Africa, we witness a surge in transactions for the #eNaira, Nigeria's Central Bank Digital Currency, which has skyrocketed by an astonishing 302%, now reaching a remarkable N10.26 billion! Further fueling this momentum is the substantial boost to the African tech ecosystem, as global investment firm Partech secures an impressive $300 million for its second Africa-focused fund, Partech Africa II. This substantial raise demonstrates the increasing investor confidence in the continent's evolving tech sector. In other developments, Flutterwave temporarily suspends operations of Disha, a Nigerian-based platform supporting creators in marketing and payments which it acquired a couple of years ago. Meanwhile, South Africa's Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) market is on a rapid ascent, with Ken Research's "South Africa Buy Now, Pay Later Market" report forecasting a remarkable 14.8% CAGR. This trajectory is set to propel the market size to a substantial $5.7 billion by 2027. Exciting times lie ahead for African Tech!
