"DEG is an experienced partner for private-sector companies investing in
developing and emerging-market countries. Together with our clients we
develop financing packages which are tailor made to the specific
investment project and its risks. Furthermore, we offer individual
advice in all phases of a project. DEG also runs special programmes on
behalf of the federal government, promoting entrepreneurial measures
with an impact to development.
The mission of DEG, a subsidiary of KfW, is to promote business
initiative in developing and emerging market countries as a contribution
to sustainable growth and improved living conditions of the local
population. To this end, we make long-term financing and advice
available to private enterprises investing in these countries.
To be precise:
- We finance direct investments in our partner countries in order to make a sustainable contribution to advancing their economic development.
- We make long-term investment capital available as a means to share the risks arising from the investments and to make them less vulnerable to crises.
- We give advice to companies on questions related to risk analysis and product development.
- We invest in undertakings in all sectors of the economy, ranging from agribusiness to the manufacturing industry and services to infrastructure.
- And we promote the development of the financial sector while strengthening local capital markets in order to facilitate reliable access to investment financing on the ground, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises. By doing so, we contribute to additional growth effects.
- We use almost exclusively own funds rather than budget funds from the Federal Government.
- We are guided by international standards for environmental and social sustainability.
- We pay particular attention to ensuring that our investments generate positive development impacts in our partner countries. DEG thus contributes to the Millennium Development Goals, which are a joint commitment of industrial and developing countries to tackle poverty in a sustainable manner..."
