Investment platform

DP World has created an investment platform together with UK development finance institution and impact investor, CDC Group. The platform covers a long-term investment period. DP World is contributing its stakes in three existing ports initially and expects to invest a further US$1 billion through the platform over the next several years. CDC is committing approximately $320 million initially and expects to invest up to a further $400 million in the next several years. The platform will invest in origin and destination ports, inland container depots, economic zones and other logistics across Africa to increase trade, create new job opportunities and broaden access to essential goods.
