About us
IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, is the largest global development institution focused exclusively on the private sector in developing countries. We utilize and leverage our products and services—as well as products and services of other institutions in the World Bank Group—to provide development solutions customized to meet clients’ needs. We apply our financial resources, technical expertise, global experience, and innovative thinking to help our partners overcome financial, operational, and political challenges. Clients view IFC as a provider and mobilizer of scarce capital, knowledge, and long-term partnerships that can help address critical constraints in areas such as finance, infrastructure, employee skills, and the regulatory environment. IFC is also a leading mobilizer of third-party resources for its 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.

"Art is what makes us human." These powerful words from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie resonated deeply during our recent conversation on the #CreativeDevelopment podcast. As we navigate the complex landscape of economic development, it's crucial to remember that progress isn't solely measured in numbers. Our discussion with the famous Nigerian author highlights the indispensable role of culture, storytelling, and shared humanity in shaping #Africa's future. Chimamanda's insights remind us that creatives are not just observers but active participants in the development process. Listen to the latest #CreativeDevelopment episode here. I hope you enjoy it and I look forward to your thoughts. Web link: http://wrld.bg/O3wo50Sz5Fb Apple Podcasts: http://wrld.bg/ktoE50Sz5OC Spotify: http://wrld.bg/7xuv50Sz5MZ

IFC is supporting sustainable sourcing with Natura in the #Amazon! 🌿 We are anchoring and investing in Natura’s Sustainability-Linked Bond (SLB), which represents the first of its kind with performance targets linked to Amazon sourcing in #Brazil. This innovative initiative is set to promote sustainable sourcing practices while helping protect and regenerate the Amazon Forest. As the anchor investor of this issuance, IFC has not only provided a BRL 300 million investment, but also helped Natura mobilize additional funds to reinforce investments in the Amazon. This will help promote the bioeconomy in the forest, contribute to boost local economy and communities and support agroforestry sustainable supply chains in the country.

Grateful to be in our London office today for productive meetings. I had opportunities to meet with colleagues at the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office – Phil Stevens, Director for International Finance, and Chris Bold, Deputy Director for International Financial Institutions – and then with Chief Impact Officer Maria Smith and Global Affairs Advisor Amar Mistry at British International Investment. In these fruitful exchanges, we explored further ways to deepen our collaboration to deliver sustainable and inclusive development impact that will make a difference in the lives of families and communities, including by mobilizing private capital.

We just issued our second benchmark bond of our new July to June fiscal year, a 500 million 5-year British pound sterling bond due October 2029. The trade was robust and attracted orders in excess of £540 million from a diverse global investor base. It also achieved the tightest spread to Gilts that we’ve achieved so far for a 5-year British pound sterling benchmark. Proceeds from our bonds provide essential financing for private businesses in emerging markets, helping to create jobs, alleviate poverty, and drive inclusive and sustainable economic growth. Joint lead managers for this transaction were Barclays Investment Bank, RBC Capital Markets and Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Thank you to all our investors!
