African Development Bank (AfDB) approved a $22 million Senior Loan to help corporate leasing company (Corplease) expand its lending to SMEs in Egypt.

“The need for leasing products in Egypt is growing consistently on an annual basis to meet the acute demand by small, medium and large-sized corporates for an alternative source of funding from traditional banking sources, for business expansion and job creation. With the annual demand growth expected from the local corporates, the market for leasing in Egypt shows immense potential for investors,” said Stefan Nalletamby, Acting Vice-President for the Private Sector, Infrastructure and Industrialization Complex at the African Development Bank.

With the newly-approved Corplease loan, AFDB adds to its existing initiatives to support financial institutions and deepen financial systems in Africa. The loan will contribute to supporting SMEs operating in Egypt, especially in priority sectors such as food industries and agribusiness, clean energy, tourism, ICT, health, transport and manufacturing.

It is also in line with Egypt’s vision 2030 and will complement the government’s efforts to support the productive capacity of local corporates, creating sustainable development and an enabling private sector environment.
