Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Group Chairman and CEO, DP World

Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Group Chairman and CEO, DP World, stated: “We are delighted to announce the broadening of our partnership with CDPQ. The DP World and CDPQ co-investments have been very successful thanks to our complementary expertise and long-term investment horizon. We believe this new partnership will enhance our assets and allow us to capture the significant growth potential of the wider region. The transaction3 also achieves our objective of reducing DP World’s net leverage to below 4x Net Debt to EBITDA and this has been achieved despite the challenges of the pandemic and recent global economic conditions.  The significant strengthening of our balance sheet, the continued resilience of our business, diversity in our portfolio and continued focus on supply chain solutions will support our target of achieving a strong investment-grade rating for the Group. Overall, we believe this transaction provides a strong platform for the UAE assets to meet their long-term growth objectives, while the stronger balance sheet supports the Group’s wider end-to-end supply chain solution strategy, which will drive sustainable value for all DP World stakeholders.”  

Emmanuel Jaclot, Executive Vice-President and Head of Infrastructure at CDPQ

Emmanuel Jaclot, Executive Vice-President and Head of Infrastructure at CDPQ, said: “This investment in Jebel Ali is another great illustration of the partnership between CDPQ and DP World, which now spans four continents and eighteen terminals. Today, we are pleased to deepen our long-standing relationship with a world-class logistics and supply chain operator by investing in this strategic trade infrastructure, one that will play a pivotal role in the evolution of the global economy. DP World is well-positioned to provide innovative solutions to their customers worldwide, and we welcome this opportunity to invest in a best-in-class group of infrastructure that provides CDPQ with exposure to new fast-growing markets and trade routes in Africa and South Asia.”
