US to provide $125M for Acleda financing

The Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), the US government’s development financial institution, signed a commitment letter for $125 million direct loan to Acleda Bank to support all sectors through microenterprises and small- and medium- enterprises (SMEs), Acleda Bank said in a press release yesterday.
