Last year, Proparco committed €2.5 billion of financing, focused on key development sectors: infrastructure, especially renewable energy, agribusiness, financial institutions, healthcare and education.Its interventions support private sector actors who contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by creating jobs and decent incomes, providing essential goods and services, and who contribute to poverty reduction and the fight against climate change. Asia is Proparco’s third region of intervention, with €388 million granted in 2019, representing 15% of its commitments.
