Elsewedy Electric will use a USD 150 mn loan from the International Finance Corporation (IFC) to acquire renewable energy plants outside of Egypt, company VP and CFO Sherif Elzeiny told CNBC Arabia in an interview (watch, runtime: 4:00). “The funds will also be used to support projects related to sustainability… [and] new investments in Africa or GCC or Asian countries,” Elzeiny said. Elsewedy earlier this week disclosed the seven-year loan agreement to the EGX (pdf).
