The first loan is a 10-year $150 million Tier 2 facility, out of which $90 million were used to refinance the outstanding subordinated debt facility that was initially obtained from IFC in 2017, and the incremental increase $60 million aim to provide capital to support CIB's sustainable growth plans.

Furthermore, these loans reflect the strong and established relationship between the two institutions and IFC's commitment to the Egyptian financial sector in general and its recognition of CIB's position as the largest and most profitable private sector bank in Egypt.
