Promotion of the private sector in developing countries by the DEG
DEG provides German and international private businesses as well as businesses in partner countries with long-term capital for investments. In contrast to commercial banks, DEG is prepared to make a long-term commitment and take on greater project and country risks.
It provides support on condition that projects invested in must contribute to sustainable economic growth and a long-term improvement in the living conditions of people in the respective country; they must also make a profit and be acceptable in social and environmental terms.
DEG offers companies long-term finance – for instance in the form of loans, equity participation or guarantees on market-oriented terms. It finances investments in the agricultural, manufacturing and infrastructure sectors. A further focus is investment in the financial sector. This is designed to provide business in partner countries with reliable access to capital. DEG supports and advises companies throughout all phases of the project.
