Clifford Chance has advised IFC on first Islamic financing in Sub Saharan Africa
Global Leading Law Firm Clifford Chance advised the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the private-sector arm of the World Bank Group, on a landmark Murabaha transaction with Banque Islamique du Sénégal (BIS) to expand access to finance for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Senegal, including women-owned and women-led businesses.
Under this first Islamic financing in Sub-Saharan Africa, IFC is partnering with BIS to significantly increase MSME lending capacity. The programme aims to triple BIS’s MSME portfolio to approximately US$350 million over five years and support up to 7,000 jobs.
