Description
Objectives

The proposed operation consists in an equity participation under EC MEDA II risk capital resources in the Fund for the Mediterranean, a multi-sector investment fund.

The proposed Fund would contribute to increase the level of private equity investments in the Middle East and North Africa region, by targeting a segment not sufficiently covered by competitors, i.e. bigger size investments (up to EUR 3-10m, instead of the average size of EUR 2-4m targeted by existing funds) in European companies, with subsidiaries or main activities located in the Maghreb, and aiming at expanding their operations in the area.
