“Our investments in Africa will be up to 20% of the final size of the fund,” a BlueOrchard spokesperson told Jeune Afrique Business+. The vehicle is designed to support MSMEs confronted with the Covid crisis, with a fifth of the commitments expected to represent $70m. Over $140m was raised in the first round, which should serve as a springboard towards a final goal of $350m.
