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 2021, IFC committed a record $31.5 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 the COVID-19 pandemic.

Helping our clients tap into these opportunities and working with a host of partners to catalyze finance for climate action, is at the core of IFC’s business. In 2021, IFC delivered 32% in own-account climate finance and mobilized $3.7 billion for climate. For every dollar of own account climate finance, we mobilized 93 cents from other investors.  In addition, in April 2021, the WBG developed a new Climate Change Action Plan (2021 – 2025) that outlines the institutions collective response to align financial flows with the goals of the Paris Agreement (referred to as “Paris Alignment”).  Per the Action Plan, IFC has committed to align 85% of new operations with the goals of Paris Agreement by July 1, 2023 and 100% of these by July 1, 2025.  For more information, visit IFC Climate.
