Afrikas pensionsjätte vill storhandla i Barclays
Afrikas största pensionsfond Public Investment Corporation (PIC) har bett Sydafrikas centralbank om tillstånd att höja innehavet i Barclays Africa, uppger källor för Reuters. Brittiska ägarbolaget Barclays Plc uppges vilja minska sitt innehav till under 20 procent för att i stället satsa på USA och Storbritannien.
PIC kan därmed komma att öka dagens innehav på 7 procent med minst 31 procent ytterligare, enligt källorna.
