IFC—a  member of the World Bank Group—is the largest global development institution focused on the private sector in developing and emerging countries.

Working with more than 2,000 businesses worldwide, we use our capital, technical expertise, global experience and innovative thinking to create markets and opportunities. In 2018, we delivered more than $23 billion in long-term financing to businesses in developing and emerging countries, leveraging the power of the private sector to end extreme poverty and boost shared prosperity. 

IFC is also a leading mobilizer of third-party resources for projects. Our willingness to engage in difficult environments and our leadership in crowding-in private finance enable us to extend our footprint and have a development impact well beyond our direct resources.
