The Mediterranean region has to face the dual challenge of regional integration with its northern bank and needs for employment brought about by its young and swiftly growing population.

 

PROPARCO is traditionally the most active bilateral development finance institution in the region. PROPARCO has focused its financing on two priority areas (Turkey and the Maghreb region) and a core business: private equity investment.

In 2010, out of its portfolio of €137M, €88M were invested to support financial institutions in the region and €32M in investment funds. PROPARCO has become an established capital partner for large Mediterranean operators such as Byblos Bank, BMCE or the Tunisian pharmaceutical laboratory Unimed.

In the Mediterranean region, PROPARCO has 2 offices located in Cairo and Casablanca.
