Investec and Commerzbank, in collaboration with Swiss Export Risk Insurance and Atradius Dutch State Business, have concluded a loan agreement with Côte d’Ivoire’s Ministry of Economy and Finance to finance a critical drinking water project for the country. The €178-million loan will enable Côte d’Ivoire to develop and rehabilitate essential water supply infrastructure across up to 111 locations, enhancing access to potable water in these areas, through a sub-project of the Ministry of Hydraulics’ “Water for All” priority programme to promote access to potable water in remote villages in Cote d‘Ivoire.
