Amethis Maghreb Fund I will support private sector development and is expected to contribute to economic growth in the region. Beyond finance, the fund will provide strategic guidance to its investees to grow and improve their operations. In a post-Arab Spring environment where job creation is critical, yet uncertainty has deterred foreign institutional investors, SIFEM’s role in supporting medium-sized companies is crucial. SIFEM has committed EUR 8m to the fund.
