DEG – Deutsche Investitions- und Entwicklungsgesellschaft

Partner of the private sector
DEG, a member of the KfW Bankengruppe (banking group), has been financing and structuring investments of private companies in developing and emerging market countries since 1962. As one of the largest development finance institutions in Europe promoting the private sector, it backs the expansion of private-sector structures to help bring about sustainable growth and a lasting improvement in people's living conditions.

Our business is developing
As part of the German development cooperation, DEG promotes projects that make sense from a development and business perspective, and are environmentally and socially compatible. To this end, it offers companies long-term financing in the form of loans, mezzanine finance, equity participation and guarantees at market-driven terms. It finances investments in agribusiness, the manufacturing industry and infrastructure sector. Another focus is the finance sector in facilitating reliable local access to investment capital.

Reliable and experienced
Companies investing in developing countries not only need financing, but individual consulting during every phase of the project - and an experienced partner they can rely on. Even during difficult times, DEG is a reliable partner to companies, developing constructive solutions with them that are consistently tailored to the project at hand.
DEG has been forming development partnerships with enterprises to encourage private investment ever since its establishment in 1962. Companies planning to expand abroad benefit from the comprehensive expertise it has built up over decades, support that the DEG representative offices in Africa, Asia, Latin America and eastern Europe greatly add to. So far, DEG has partnered some 1,300 companies and allocated around 4.7 billion euros in investment capital in the last five years alone.

Development Partnerships with the Private Sector (develoPPP.de)
Since 1999, DEG has also been operating development partnerships with BMZ funds. Together with mainly German companies active in partner nations, around 500 projects have been realised to date that make key contributions to sustainable development. The main objective of the programme is to jointly promote innovative approaches and strategic alliances and to tackle important issues such as climate protection.
