Dammam, Saudi Arabia: The Arab Petroleum Investments Corporation (APICORP), a multilateral development bank, has announced signing a financial structuring mandate with Suez Company for Methanol Derivatives to finance the development of a formaldehyde and derivatives project in Damietta, Egypt.

Supporting all areas of the regional energy and petrochemicals industries goes to the very heart of APICORP’s approach, so today’s announcement is evidence of our continued and successful efforts to support and contribute to the stability and growth of the Egyptian economy.”
