AFD approves another €400m JET-linked policy loan to South Africa

Agence Française de Développement (AFD) has approved another €400-million policy-based loan to support South Africa’s Just Energy Transition (JET), increasing its approvals to €700-million out of the €1-billion it pledged to South Africa at COP26 in Glasgow in 2021. The loan is described as the largest-ever on the AFD’s balance sheet and is said to build on the €300-million public policy loan provided by AFD in 2022.
