Description

IFC—a member of the World Bank Group—is the largest global development institution focused on the private sector in emerging markets. We work in more than 100 countries, using our capital, expertise, and influence to create markets and opportunities in developing countries. In fiscal year 2022, IFC committed a record $32.8 billion to private companies and financial institutions in developing countries, leveraging the power of the private sector to end extreme poverty and boost shared prosperity as economies grapple with the impacts of global compounding crises.

.

IFC has embarked on an ambitious new growth strategy (IFC 3.0) to stimulate more investment activity, especially in Low Income Countries (LICs) and Fragile and Conflict affected Situations (FCS). This strategy calls for generating our own opportunities by proactively “working Upstream” to create, deepen, and expand markets and to imagine, design and implement investment projects. Working Upstream is helping to establish the conditions in a country that lead to private investments.

A main reason for a lack of private investment in many developing countries is a shortage of commercially viable investment opportunities, which dampens growth in these countries. Stimulating these opportunities requires taking a systematic approach to understanding the regulatory and sector bottlenecks that prevent the flow of private capital into productive investment in our member countries. In turn, these bottlenecks can be addressed through World Bank Group engagement on policy reforms while leveraging WBG programs and projects to develop our own proactive sector interventions and innovative project design.
