CDG Capital has won the Africa’s Best Investment Bank for Project & Infrastructure Financing award at the 2026 Euromoney Awards for Excellence in London. The award recognises the bank’s work in raising money for large infrastructure projects and helping structure complex financing deals.
Over the past three years, CDG Capital said it has helped raise more than 23 billion dirhams for major projects across the country.
The bank said the money has gone towards projects in water, renewable energy, railways, industry, food security, and sports and social infrastructure.
Water projects backed by CDG Capital cover the full supply chain, from production to distribution, to help improve the country’s water security.
The bank has also worked on railway projects to improve transport links, as well as investments in industry, clean energy, food production, and public infrastructure.
CDG Capital said these projects require expertise in project finance, financial engineering, advisory services, deal structuring, execution and fundraising.
The bank added that it has also used its advisory and financing expertise to support partnerships with African public investment institutions on infrastructure projects.
Following the award, CDG Capital said it plans to grow its business across Africa by supporting infrastructure, energy transition and sustainable development projects.
Khalid Safir, Chief Executive of CDG Group, said: “This distinction is international recognition of the CDG Group’s vision to mobilise long-term institutional savings for the country’s economic and social development. It demonstrates our ability to support major transformations by financing strategic projects that strengthen competitiveness, resilience and attractiveness.”
Mehdi Bouriss, Chief Executive of CDG Capital, said: “This award reinforces our ambition to put our expertise at the service of major national development projects and our African partners.”
