Abstract
IFC’s main government counterparts are the Ministry of Finance, Irish Aid, and Enterprise Ireland. In FY19-23, Ireland provided cumulative funding of over five million in support of IFC Advisory Services, of which close to two million was committed in FY23. To date, Irish funding has supported several strategic IFC initiatives aimed at promoting private sector development in emerging markets, including in conflict-affected states in Africa, as well as gender equality and inclusion. In September 2019, IFC listed its first Canadian dollar green bond on the Euronext Dublin, the first time IFC has listed a green bond on Dublin’s stock exchange. In October 2018, IFC and the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund (ISIF) signed a Memorandum of Understanding to work together to generate growth opportunities for Irish companies in emerging markets, with an initial focus on the food and agriculture sectors.

Publication IFC and Czechia, Partners in Private Sector Development(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-03-19)IFC is actively exploring business opportunities with Czech companies interested in co-investments in emerging markets in partnership with the Czech Ministry of Finance. Czechia is a donor to IFC. In December 2022, the Czech Ministry of Finance signed a framework agreement with IFC to establish the Czechia-IFC Partnership Trust Fund, with initial contribution of one million to support IFC’s advisory and upstream activities in Ukraine under the Global Food Security Platform. This is the first Czech trust fund with IFC.Publication IFC and Greece, Partners in Private Sector Development(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2023-09-01)IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, is the largest global development institution focused on the private sector in emerging markets. Working in more than 100 countries, IFC committed a record 43.7 billion in own-account investments and mobilization from third parties to private companies and financial institutions in developing countries in fiscal year 2023 (FY23). Between 2015-2020, at the request of the Greek government, IFC was authorized by its Board to make direct investments in Greece to restore investor confidence and act as a catalyst to mobilize private sector capital. IFC’s engagement in Greece ceased at the end of 2020. As of FY23, IFC’s long-term committed portfolio with Greek sponsors in emerging markets amounted to over twelve million, while IFC’s long-term committed portfolio in Greece stood at fifty-three million.Publication IFC and Italy, Partners in Private Sector Development(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-03-13)International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, is the largest global development institution focused on the private sector in emerging markets. Working in more than 100 countries, IFC committed a record 43.7 billion dollars in own-account investments and mobilization from third parties to private companies and financial institutions in developing countries in fiscal year 2023 (FY23). IFC is an active partner of established Italian multinationals and mid-sized firms interested in investing in emerging markets. As of June 2023, IFC had a long-term committed investment portfolio of 584 million dollars with Italian partners spread across several sectors and regions. In 2023, the Italian government renewed its support to IFC’s Ethiopia Private Sector Development Program.Publication IFC and Israel, Partners in Private Sector Development(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-02-01)IFC has a longstanding relationship with Israel’s Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Economy and Industry. Israel’s Ministry of Economy and Industry contributed close to two million to IFC’s TechEmerge Health Program in India, Brazil and East Africa between FY16 and FY21. TechEmerge was launched by IFC in January 2016 in Tel Aviv to connect innovative proven technology companies from around the world with companies in emerging markets to conduct local pilot projects and build commercial partnerships. The goal of the TechEmerge’s Health program is to drive innovation to improve healthcare delivery and patient outcomes in emerging markets. IFC works closely with the Foreign Trade Administration at the Israeli Ministry of Economy & Industry on the organization of business development events. Since FY19, IFC has also been collaborating with Start-Up Nation Central, an Israeli non-profit in the innovation space, to explore business opportunities for Israeli start-ups in emerging markets. In 2019 and 2020, IFC held awareness raising events with Start-Up Nation Central to promote the Financial Times/IFC Transformational Business Awards, a premier program recognizing private sector companies that make a difference in addressing development challenges.Publication IFC and Sweden, Partners in Private Sector Development(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-03-19)In FY19-23, Sweden provided cumulative funding of over 55 million through the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) to support IFC Advisory Services. The MENA MSME 2.0 program is one of the Advisory Services programs Sweden has supported. It aims to improve financial inclusion and access to finance for micro, small and medium businesses with a particular focus on underserved groups in the countries of the Middle East and North Africa. SIDA also supports IFC’s innovative Managed Co-Lending Portfolio Program (MCPP) Infrastructure initiative, which channels funding into emerging market infrastructure for global institutional investors, through its guarantee instrument. Another flagship program supported by Sweden is the Green Bond Technical Assistance Program (GB-TAP), a multi donor-funded Advisory Services initiative managed by IFC that supports the issuance of green bonds in emerging markets.

Publication Global Economic Prospects, June 2024(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-06-11)After several years of negative shocks, global growth is expected to hold steady in 2024 and then edge up in the next couple of years, in part aided by cautious monetary policy easing as inflation gradually declines. However, economic prospects are envisaged to remain tepid, especially in the most vulnerable countries. Risks to the outlook, while more balanced, are still tilted to the downside, including the possibility of escalating geopolitical tensions, further trade fragmentation, and higher-for-longer interest rates. Natural disasters related to climate change could also hinder activity. Subdued growth prospects across many emerging market and developing economies and continued risks underscore the need for decisive policy action at the global and national levels. Global Economic Prospects is a World Bank Group Flagship Report that examines global economic developments and prospects, with a special focus on emerging market and developing economies, on a semiannual basis (in January and June). Each edition includes analytical pieces on topical policy challenges faced by these economies.Publication Business Ready 2024(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-10-03)Business Ready (B-READY) is a new World Bank Group corporate flagship report that evaluates the business and investment climate worldwide. It replaces and improves upon the Doing Business project. B-READY provides a comprehensive data set and description of the factors that strengthen the private sector, not only by advancing the interests of individual firms but also by elevating the interests of workers, consumers, potential new enterprises, and the natural environment. This 2024 report introduces a new analytical framework that benchmarks economies based on three pillars: Regulatory Framework, Public Services, and Operational Efficiency. The analysis centers on 10 topics essential for private sector development that correspond to various stages of the life cycle of a firm. The report also offers insights into three cross-cutting themes that are relevant for modern economies: digital adoption, environmental sustainability, and gender. B-READY draws on a robust data collection process that includes specially tailored expert questionnaires and firm-level surveys. The 2024 report, which covers 50 economies, serves as the first in a series that will expand in geographical coverage and refine its methodology over time, supporting reform advocacy, policy guidance, and further analysis and research.Publication Growth in the Middle East and North Africa(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-10-16)This issue of the MENA Economic Update presents a summary of recent macroeconomic trends, including an update of the conflict centered in Gaza and its regional spillovers, alongside an analysis of factors that shape the long-term growth potential of the region, with special attention to the persistent effects of conflicts. A modest uptick in growth is forecast for 2024, which nonetheless masks important disparities within the region. The acceleration is driven by the high-income oil exporters, while growth is expected to decelerate among developing MENA countries, both developing oil exporters and developing oil importers. Despite current challenges, the region can dramatically boost growth by better allocating talent in the labor market, leveraging its strategic location, and promoting innovation. Closing the gender employment gap, rethinking the footprint of the public sector, and facilitating technology transfers through trade under enhanced data quality and transparency can help the region leap toward the frontier. Peace is a pre-condition for catching up to the frontier, as conflict can undo decades of progress, delaying economic development by generations.Publication South Asia Development Update, October 2024: Women, Jobs, and Growth(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-10-10)South Asia’s growth is on track to exceed earlier expectations, in a broad-based upturn. The region is expected to remain the fastest-growing among emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs). Several risks could upend this generally promising outlook, including extreme weather events, social unrest, and policy missteps, such as reform delays. But South Asian countries also have considerable untapped potential that could help them further boost productivity growth and employment and adapt to climate change. In particular, with about two-thirds of the region’s working-age women out of the labor force, raising female employment rates to those of men could increase per capita income by as much as one-half. Measures to accelerate job creation, remove obstacles to women working, and equalize gender rights would be more effective if combined with a shift toward social norms that looked more favorably on working women. Also, most South Asian countries rank among the EMDEs least open to global trade and investment. Greater openness could boost women’s employment, spur the growth of firms, and allow the region to take better advantage of the reshaping of global supply chains and trade. Reducing the cost of conducting business could help the region better harness large-scale remittance inflows.Publication Europe and Central Asia Economic Update, Fall 2024: Better Education for Stronger Growth(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-10-17)Economic growth in Europe and Central Asia (ECA) is likely to moderate from 3.5 percent in 2023 to 3.3 percent this year. This is significantly weaker than the 4.1 percent average growth in 2000-19. Growth this year is driven by expansionary fiscal policies and strong private consumption. External demand is less favorable because of weak economic expansion in major trading partners, like the European Union. Growth is likely to slow further in 2025, mostly because of the easing of expansion in the Russian Federation and Turkiye. This Europe and Central Asia Economic Update calls for a major overhaul of education systems across the region, particularly higher education, to unleash the talent needed to reinvigorate growth and boost convergence with high-income countries. Universities in the region suffer from poor management, outdated curricula, and inadequate funding and infrastructure. A mismatch between graduates' skills and the skills employers are seeking leads to wasted potential and contributes to the region's brain drain. Reversing the decline in the quality of education will require prioritizing improvements in teacher training, updated curricula, and investment in educational infrastructure. In higher education, reforms are needed to consolidate university systems, integrate them with research centers, and provide reskilling opportunities for adult workers.
