The Mauritius Commercial Bank Limited (MCB) has issued a new structured financing package to Invictus Investment Company PLC, strengthening the firm’s push into key markets across Africa and the Middle East. The deal, announced in Port-Louis, Mauritius, forms part of MCB’s wider strategy to back high-growth regional companies expanding supply-chain, logistics and commodity operations.
Invictus Investment, a subsidiary of Dubai-based Phoenix Group, has been scaling rapidly, with interests spanning agriculture, food commodities, logistics and trade facilitation. The company’s expansion drive has intensified in recent years as demand for integrated supply-chain solutions rises across African and Middle Eastern markets. The new financing from MCB is expected to bolster this momentum by supporting Invictus’ procurement capacity, regional distribution networks and commodity trade operations.
MCB, one of Africa’s most active lenders in structured trade finance, continues to invest in companies strengthening cross-border commercial activity. The bank has increasingly positioned itself as a key financier for businesses driving growth in energy, commodities, infrastructure and food security. The Invictus facility aligns with this mandate, targeting sectors central to Africa’s economic resilience and regional integration.
Invictus Investment has reported growing volumes across East and West Africa, with operations linked to port infrastructure, grain handling, and distribution chains. The company has also been expanding partnerships with government-linked buyers, agro-processors and commodity traders in markets such as Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
By providing a structured financing package, MCB aims to support both working-capital requirements and trade flows, ensuring Invictus can execute larger contracts and scale its footprint. The move reinforces Mauritius’ role as a financial gateway between Africa, the Gulf and global capital markets.
