Since its inception, the SFD has played a prominent role in extending
development loans to developing countries to support their efforts at boosting
their economies. The SFD has also attempted to help many developing countries to
achieve further socio-economic development. Since the start of its financing
activity in 1975, up to the end of 2009, the SFD has provided 465 loans for a
total amount of SR. 30861.54 million, which were directed to finance 451
development projects and economic programs. The beneficiary countries totaled 75
developing countries worldwide, 43 in Africa, 26 in Asia, and six in other
regions, as the following tables illustrate:
