The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), in partnership with the European Union, officially launched this Monday, October 13, 2025 a new financing mechanism dedicated to the green economy in Tunisia. This initiative aims to encourage Tunisian companies to invest in environmentally friendly technologies.
According to Sliem Bouaskerrepresentative of the EBRD, the program mobilizes an envelope of 60 million euroswhich will be made available to Tunisian banks and leasing institutions. These funds will make it possible to grant credits to companies engaged in green projects, particularly in energy efficiency, renewable energies or sustainable resource management.
The system is not limited to granting loans. Beneficiary companies will also have access to a technical support to help them structure and succeed in their projects. In addition, the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) will be able to receive subsidies ranging from 10 to 15% of the value of the credit obtained, a direct incentive for the ecological transition.
