The African development Bank -AfDB- announced June 27, 2019, it has approved a credit line worth about TND327 million (€100 million) to Tunisia’s BH Bank.
The new financing comes as a boost to the bank in the implementation of its strategy to support private companies operating the country. Targeted sectors include health, renewable energies, social housing and industry.
“This financial facility will make more resources available for Tunisian companies. They will now be able to expand their investment opportunities and foster conditions for inclusive and shared growth,” said Stefan Nalletamby (photo), AfDB’s Director of Financial Sector Development Department.
