Keywords: Banking & Finance, Financial Institutions
Sharkawy & Sarhan is honored to have advised the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) on Egypt’s first sustainability-linked loan, a landmark US$100 million facility extended to Banque Misr.
We are proud to support this transformative financing, which addresses critical gaps in Egypt’s financial ecosystem and reinforces the country’s commitment to inclusive and climate-resilient development.
This financing will enable Banque Misr to make more financing available to local women-led or owned micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), as well as to low-income individuals for affordable housing.
We were also pleased to team up with our friends at CMS, led by Elitsa Ivanova and Katerina Hristova, who acted as English legal advisers to EBRD.
Kudos to our Banking & Finance team led by Partner Ahmed Haggag, closely supported by Associate Raghda ElQabbage, for their outstanding work across this transaction.
The agreement was signed in the presence of the Minister of Planning and Egypt’s Governor at the EBRD, Rania Al-Mashat; Banque Misr CEO Hisham Okasha; EBRD Managing Director for Financial Institutions Francis Malige; and EBRD Regional Director for the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean Mark Davis.
