Amen Bank Organizes Event on Energy Transition and Renewable Energies
Amen Bank hosted an event today dedicated to energy transition and renewable energies, titled "Amen Bank, the Reference Bank for Supporting Tunisian Businesses."
This meeting allowed the bank to present its recent initiatives in sustainable financing, while opening the discussion on banking levers to support this transformation.
According to Néji Ghandri, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Amen Bank, energy transition is now an imperative: "It's no longer a luxury. It enables businesses to reduce their costs and gain competitiveness, particularly with the European carbon tax that will come into effect in early 2026."
In this context, Amen Bank is strengthening its support for businesses of all sizes, helping them establish their carbon footprint and define action plans to reduce their emissions. The bank is also providing tailored financing solutions for renewable energy production, whether for self-consumption or resale to STEG.
While 23 projects were financed in 2024, the first quarter of 2025 has already seen almost 35 renewable energy and energy efficiency projects.
Ghandri emphasized that with the support of international donors, Amen Bank plans to continue and expand its efforts.
The Chairman of the Board of Directors of Amen Bank affirmed that energy transition has become an unavoidable necessity. He highlighted the importance of developing self-production mechanisms and enhancing business competitiveness to contribute to achieving the national goal of 35% renewable energy by 2030.
