Regional integration in the French Overseas Territories

AFD Group has a specific mission to help strengthen the economies of the French Overseas Territories. This support is provided via operations to assist local authorities and banks or via guarantee fund management.
 
PROPARCO finances business start-ups or development - either directly for private operators or via bank intermediation - and helps build their competitiveness at the regional level. PROPARCO’s range of products is complementary to local banking products. In 2009, the company continued to support banking sectors in New Caledonia and French Polynesia.
 
 
From 2010, PROPARCO’s activities will be based on three cornerstones:
 
• The regional integration of private players;
 
• Support for local banks via long-term refinancing or risk sharing;
 
• Support for innovative and structuring projects in the infrastructure sector
(renewable energies, mega projects) or service sector.
