The license will see GGF provide loans to Egyptian banks to help finance energy efficiency, resource efficiency and renewable energy projects.
The GGF is a public-private partnership fund initiated by the European Investment Bank and KfW that finances green projects in 19 countries, both directly and to financial institutions for on-lending. It has made EUR 99 million in sub-loan investments in Egypt since its founding in 2009.
It has previously provided National Bank of Egypt, Alexbank, and Banque du Caire with facilities of $10-30 million to finance local green projects.
