The deals, comprising three loan agreements totaling 250 million euros, two of which are accompanied by two grants amounting to 7 million euros, were reached between Fouzi Lekjaa, the Moroccan minister delegate in charge of the budget, and Janne Rajpar, director of KfW's Morocco office, at a ceremony in Rabat.
