The decision was announced on July 17, 2026, following the EBRD Board of Directors meeting.

The loan will support upgrades at several Moroccan airports, including Casablanca Mohammed V International Airport, Marrakech Menara Airport, and Agadir Al Massira Airport. Projects include terminal expansions, runway renovations, and the installation of energy-efficient systems to reduce carbon emissions.
