Background

About IFC: The International Finance Corporation (“IFC”) is a member of the World Bank Group (“WBG”), and the largest global development institution focused exclusively on the private sector in developing countries.

About FIG: IFC’s Financial Institutions Group (“FIG”) works through financial institutions to provide much-needed access to finance for millions of individuals and micro, small, and medium enterprises that we would never be able to reach directly. This is an important part of the WBG strategy to end extreme poverty and build shared prosperity. FIG engages in a wide range of theme including Climate Finance, Supply Chain Finance, Digital Financial Inclusion, Banking to Micro/Small/Women businesses, Insurance, Capital Markets, etc., with both investment and advisory services delivered through IFC’s global network.

About IFC Upstream & Advisory Services: Providing advice is a critical part of IFC’s strategy to create markets and mobilize private investment. Through this work, we help establish the necessary conditions that will attract the most private capital, enabling the private sector to grow. IFC is shifting to a more strategic approach, systematically linking our upstream and advisory programs to the greatest needs identified in WBG country and sector strategies.
