The loan will support Procaneq's acquisition of energy-efficient equipment for phosphate extraction and transportation. Additionally, a communiqué from the EBRD indicates that Procaneq will receive technical assistance to improve the quality of its reporting and strengthen its legal, regulatory, and institutional frameworks.
Morocco, a founding member of the EBRD, has been benefiting from the Bank’s resources since 2012. Since then, the European lender has spent over €4.6 billion on 103 projects in the Northern African country.
