Chinese companies and financial institutions are making remarkable contributions to fostering sustainable and eco-friendly economic growth in the Middle East and Africa, said Standard Chartered executives.

"We see an increasing level of awareness of sustainability and green development across the board in our region, and I would say that Chinese companies are playing a pivotal role in developing that," said Sarmad Lone, regional co-head of global banking in Africa and the Middle East at Standard Chartered, on the sidelines of a recent meeting with Chinese financial institutions and companies in Beijing.
