German development company Deutsche Investitions und Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH said it will invest $10 million in Schulze Global Ethiopia Growth and Transformation Fund I, a private-equity fund focused solely on the Horn of Africa nation.
The capital for the fund, owned by Schulze Global Investments and created this year, will be invested in small-and medium-sized enterprises in Ethiopian industries including agro- processing and manufacturing, DEG said in an e-mailed statement today in Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian capital.
Schulze plans to eventually have $100 million available for investment in Ethiopian businesses, it said.
DEG, as the development company is known, is a unit of KfW Bankengruppe, the state-owned German development bank.
