Its sectoral strategy is tailored to the level of a country’s development and focuses on the productive sector, financial systems, infrastructure and equity investment.
It invests in a geographical area ranging from major emerging countries to the less developed countries, in particular in Africa, and has high-level requirements in terms of Social and Environmental Responsibility.
PROPARCO has a wide range of financial products to meet the specific needs of private investors in developing countries (loans, equity, guarantees and financial engineering).

Operational and financial results 2009
In 2009, commitments, signatures and disbursements of PROPARCO grew sharply, reaching new historical volumes. Despite the crisis, PROPARCO chose to increase its volume of commitments in 2009 to counterbalance the withdrawal of commercial banks. This effort resulted in a 42% growth of its activity from 2008 to 2009. Commitments thus rose from € 789 M in 2008 to € 1.1 Md in 2009. Projects’ signatures doubled up to € 890 M (an augmentation of 80% and almost 70 projects signed in 2009).
PROPARCO’s balance sheet is equal to € 2 Md, against € 1.6 Md in 2008. Financial results reached € 24 M in 2009 (against € 21 M in 2008).
