In 2026, Proparco continues to shape sustainable finance
Published on
Françoise Lombard, CEO of Proparco, looks back on a year marked by strong collective mobilization and reaffirms her strategic priorities for supporting the sustainable transformation of economies and territories, alongside her clients and partners.
2025: a year of mobilization and impact
Innovation, commitment, mobilization: these values guided each of Proparco's actions in 2025. Alongside you, we supported forward-looking projects, delivering concrete and lasting impact. We are proud of how far we've come and the trust you've placed in us.
In Africa, Latin America, Asia and the Middle East, we continue to support our long-standing partners, while remaining firmly mobilised to foster the emergence of new players. Faced with major global challenges, we have innovated and taken action, taking risks where the market needed it.
Stronger levers to support economic transformation
This mobilization is reflected in:
- The diversification of our financial instruments, particularly by playing an increasingly important role as a cornerstone investor for our clients to support market confidence.
- Investment in new themes, such as natural capital.
- The strengthening of our technical support to drive profound change in economic environments.
With the support of the Agence française de développement, our majority shareholder, the French government and the European Union, we have sustained a historically high level of activity by continually raising our ambitions in terms of impact and optimising every euro of capital entrusted to us.
Proparco Days: finance united for the climate
In an uncertain international context, one thing remains essential: the robustness of our relationships. Our exchanges, the strength of our partnerships and our collective ability to move towards shared goals enable us to act effectively and responsibly. All the Proparco teams are fully committed to this.
During the Proparco Days last October, sustainable finance stakeholders from all our regions of operation gathered around a shared belief: private-sector engagement in climate action is essential. To all our clients who joined us in these discussions, thank you for your trust and enthusiasm in sharing your experiences from around the world with your peers. We're incredibly proud of this moment of connection.
2026: a clear path toward sustainable and resilient finance
At the beginning of 2026, our course is clear. Financing the economy and global public goods is our main lever for action, as it plays a decisive role in transforming territories and improving living conditions in a concrete way.
The challenges are great, but so is our determination. We will continue to support you, innovate and mobilize all our efforts to build sustainable, high-impact projects together, in pursuit of our shared goals: protecting the planet, reducing inequalities and promoting a sustainable and resilient economy.
Dear clients, dear partners, I wish you all the best for a 2026 filled with projects, partnerships and lasting impact!
