IHC continues to look ahead this year as its ambitious progression strategy gets underway, with another acquisition across four continents expected by the end of the year alone, focusing on a fast-growing economy, rapidly expanding equity markets, and top investment destination.
Shueb added that “We are watching the international market closely for new prospects, and we will continue exploring further opportunities outside our traditional market in 2023,” IHC aims to increase its global acquisition by 70% in 2023, with the clean energy and food processing sectors being a key focus.
