In Morocco, small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) account for 95% of the companies, 40% of production, 46% of employment but only for 20% of added value and 30% of exports.
The EBRD together with the support of donors, has established the Green Value Chain (GVC), a EUR 90 million credit line to local Participating Financial Institutions (PFIs) to on-lend to Moroccan SMEs operating in value chains for their investment in high-performing equipment that integrate energy, water and resource efficiency.
Specifically, the EBRD GVC Facility supports local SMEs to:
move from low value-added to high value-added production in terms of know-how and skills;
link to more advanced aggregators for more competitive and increasingly export-oriented value chains.
GVC offers to SMEs wishing to innovate and modernise their installations through green technologies:
a loan or lease obtained through one of the PFIs to implement the investment; currently, these are Banque Populaire, Bank of Africa, Crédit du Maroc and Société Générale and their respective leasing arms; and
aninvestment grant of 10% of the eligible credit amount received after successful project completion.
In addition, partnerships with donors have enabled the programme to support SMEs to access global or regional value chains by improving their competitiveness through green investments.
GVC in Morocco is supported by the European Union, the Green Climate Fund, the Korean Technical Assistance and Cooperation Account, and the EBRD Shareholders Special Fund.
