According to Jumia’s managers, this operation will enable the company to focus on its core activity; being a “marketplace for physical products and digital services, while expanding the scope of our payment and logistics activities,” said Sacha Poignonnec, Jumia's co-founder.
EMPG, which owns and operates real estate platforms in Pakistan, Bangladesh and the United Arab Emirates, hopes to strengthen its position in the online real estate market in North Africa through its Moroccan subsidiary Mubawab.
