Green and sustainable finance

355 M Dhs Green Bonds Issuance

1st Green Financial center in Africa (GGFI 2022)

38th Green Financial center worldwide (GGFI 2022)

According to experts, Africa is the most vulnerable continent to the harmful effects of climate change: galloping desertification, decline in agricultural yields, deforestation, deterioration of the coastline, irreversible losses in terms of biodiversity, climate refugees… The continent’s historical responsibility is altogether limited, Africa representing only 4% of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. Yet, the continent collects less than 5% of green and sustainable international financial flows.

As a leading financial center in Africa and as part of its 2025 development strategy, Casablanca Finance City aims to support the continent’s transition to a low-carbon and sustainable economy by channeling and massifying investments towards green projects on the continent (renewable energies, sustainable infrastructures, mobility & transport, buildings & urban planning, etc.).
