Accenture Explores Sale of Greater China Business Amid Strategic Review
Accenture is considering selling its Greater China business, potentially valued at up to $1.5 billion, and has engaged JPMorgan to advise on a strategic review. The unit includes operations in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. The move follows unsolicited interest from buyers and reflects challenges faced by Western firms in China amid tighter data regulations. Accenture may retain a minority stake to maintain client continuity, though no sale is certain. The company aims to focus on growth driven by artificial intelligence integration globally.
