JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon To Visit Africa In Growth Push

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon is set to visit Africa in mid-October, marking his first trip to the continent in seven years. This move signals the largest U.S. lender’s intent to expand its presence there.

Dimon’s itinerary is expected to include Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, and Ivory Coast. JPMorgan currently operates in South Africa and Nigeria, providing services such as asset and wealth management, along with commercial and investment banking.

Expanding into overseas markets has been a key growth strategy for JPMorgan, which boasts assets exceeding $4.1 trillion and operates in over 100 countries.

In 2018, Dimon expressed interest in entering Ghana and Kenya. However, regulatory hurdles in these countries reportedly hindered JPMorgan’s expansion plans.

Kenyan President William Ruto announced in February 2023, following a meeting with a senior JPMorgan executive, that the bank had committed to establishing a new office in Nairobi.

The current status of JPMorgan’s expansion into these countries remains unclear.

Major global banks are vying for a larger share of sovereign debt and corporate transactions in Africa, according to analysts. They also aim to cater to international companies with operations on the continent, explained Eric Musau, head of research at Nairobi-based Standard Investment Bank.

International lenders are also looking to boost revenue by offering wealth management services that provide access to investments like offshore equity, debt, and mutual funds, Musau added.

Banking giants are further differentiating themselves by offering private banking services, aiming to stand out from the numerous local and regional lenders in the retail market.

While most consumers on the continent can access financial services through local and regional commercial banks, private banking “is where the next evolution will be,” stated Francis Mwangi, CEO of Kestrel Capital, a Nairobi brokerage.

JPMorgan is among the top five international private banks in terms of assets under supervision, and growth in overseas markets is a key priority, the bank stated in May.

In the past five years, approximately 700 bankers have been involved in expanding into 27 new locations globally, generating $2 billion in revenue for its commercial and investment bank, JPMorgan’s President Daniel Pinto informed investors in May.

JPMorgan has an advisory board comprising international executives and former policymakers with ties to Africa, including Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who founded the Africa Governance Initiative.

Major global lenders have adopted diverse strategies for individual sub-Saharan markets, targeting the fastest-growing areas while striving to differentiate themselves from local and regional competitors.
Standard Chartered, for instance, has focused on markets like Kenya. Its assets under management in the East African nation grew by a quarter last year to 185.5 billion Kenyan shillings ($1.4 billion).

The lender sold its subsidiaries in Angola, Cameroon, Gambia, and Sierra Leone last year.
