Le prince Abdulaziz bin Talal attribue aux fondateurs des banques de microfinance d'AGFUND le mérite d'avoir jeté les bases de son impact sur le développement

BANGKOK, 18 octobre 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Le Programme du Golfe arabe pour le développement (AGFUND) a remporté le prix « Excellence en banque inclusive et impact social » lors des Sustainable Development Goals Awards 2026, organisés par le World Savings and Retail Banking Institute (WSBI) en coopération avec l'European Savings and Retail Banking Group (ESBG).

Le CEO d'AGFUND, Hammam bin Nasser bin Juraid, a accepté le prix à Bangkok, en Thaïlande, en marge des assemblées annuelles du Fonds monétaire international et du Groupe de la Banque mondiale.

Son Altesse Royale le prince Abdulaziz bin Talal bin Abdulaziz, président d'AGFUND, a déclaré que cette reconnaissance témoigne de l'expérience d'AGFUND dans l'utilisation des services financiers pour autonomiser les communautés mal desservies, renforcer les moyens de subsistance et promouvoir l'indépendance économique.

Il a rendu hommage aux fondateurs des banques de microfinance d'AGFUND, et notamment au regretté prince Talal bin Abdulaziz, pour avoir créé des institutions axées sur l'autonomisation des populations.

Il a ajouté que ce prix témoigne de plus de vingt ans d'engagement, du dévouement des banques et partenaires spécialisés dans l'inclusion financière, et des clients qui ont transformé le financement en entreprises et en revenus familiaux. Il a insisté sur l'importance d'élargir les opportunités et de mesurer le succès par des améliorations durables dans la vie des gens.

Le prince Abdulaziz a souligné que cette reconnaissance témoigne de l'importance des établissements qui s'adressent aux populations exclues et encourage un accès plus large et des opportunités économiques accrues pour les familles.

Depuis sa création, le réseau bancaire d'inclusion financière d'AGFUND a servi plus de 1,3 million de clients et a déboursé plus de 1,37 milliard USD en financements. Les femmes représentent 59 % des emprunteurs, ce qui démontre sa contribution à l'autonomisation économique.

Décerné par le WSBI, créée en 1924, en partenariat avec ESBG, ce prix récompense une approche associant services financiers, impact social et développement durable.

Après l'ouverture de sa première banque en Jordanie en 2004, AGFUND s'est implantée dans neuf pays : Jordanie, Yémen, Bahreïn, Syrie, Liban, Palestine, Soudan, Mauritanie et Sierra Leone, en ciblant les communautés mal desservies par les institutions financières traditionnelles.

Le réseau a octroyé plus de 1,5 million de prêts, ouvert plus de 927 000 comptes d'épargne, établi 112 agences et employé plus de 1 500 personnes. Ses services financent les micro et petites entreprises ainsi que les activités génératrices de revenus, améliorant ainsi les conditions de vie et l'indépendance économique.

AGFUND prévoit de renforcer les partenariats de développement, de promouvoir les solutions numériques et les produits financiers innovants, et d'intégrer le financement à la formation, au renforcement des capacités, à l'accès aux marchés et à la protection contre les risques.

Le programme explore également des pistes d'expansion géographique, notamment en Afrique, par le biais de partenariats institutionnels qui adaptent les approches performantes aux besoins locaux et étendent l'inclusion financière durable à un plus grand nombre de communautés.
