Banque du Caire is getting USD 30 mn in “tier-two” capital investment under a financing agreement with the Green for Growth Fund (GGF), which is backed by German development bank KfW, among others, according to a press release (pdf). The facility is the GGF’s first tier-two investment in Egypt, after it in January received a license from the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) to act as a tier-two lender, allowing it to finance Egyptian banks for on-lending to energy efficiency, resource efficiency and renewable energy projects. Banque du Caire in 2020 received the same amount of tier-two capital from KfW’s Sanad fund for on-lending to SMEs and farmers.
