Working closely with you, we develop carefully thought-out, viable solutions for your undertaking that take reasonable account of potential risks. We have the required industry know-how, years of experience with investments in developing countries, together with extensive knowledge about local circumstances and framework conditions. And we actively support and advise corporates with a need or wish for transformation.
We provide tailored financing solutions to our customers in the form of long-term loans, equity investments and mezzanine finance. If required, we can also mobilise and arrange larger volumes for our customers by getting additional investors on board.
DEG finances only in emerging and developing countries. These are regularly defined in the OECD Development Committee (DAC). The current DAC list with our partner countries can be found here.
At a glance:
• Currency: EUR or USD and local currency
• Term: generally between 4 and 10 years
• Collateral: usually as the company's fixed assets in the country of investment
• Interest rate: fixed or variable, market-oriented depending on project and country risks
• Structuring: in line with customer needs
In addition to long-term financing, we offer promotional programmes to support corporates in a targeted way. In this way, we can co-finance various accompanying measures.
With AfricaConnect, DEG helps European companies enter Africa with long-term loans. Investments in reform-oriented African countries are specifically promoted and facilitated through a special model of risk sharing.
