International Finance Corporation2012-06-082012-06-082008https://hdl.handle.net/10986/7539The International Finance Corporation (IFC) annual report continues an approach pioneered last year, combining information on the investments and advisory services, sustainability, development effectiveness, and donor partnerships. The report covers fiscal 2008 (July 1, 2007, through June 30, 2008) and discusses the year's new business as well as the performance and development results of the portfolio. In FY08, new investments totaled $16.2 billion, rising 34 percent from the previous year. The IFC seeks to enhance the accountability and to articulate the vision, core corporate values, purpose, and the way the IFC works for a wide range of stakeholders: client companies, governments, partners, local communities affected by the activities, advocacy organizations, investors, and the staff.en-USCC BY-NC-ND 3.0 IGOACCESS TO EDUCATIONACCESS TO FINANCEACCESS TO FINANCINGACCESS TO STUDENT LOANSACCOUNTINGADVICE TO GOVERNMENTSADVISORY SERVICESADVISORY WORKAFFORDABLE HOUSINGAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTSASSET CLASSESASSET PORTFOLIOSAVAILABILITY OF CREDITBALANCE SHEETBANK ACCOUNTSBANK BORROWERSBANKING RELATIONSHIPSBASIC NEEDSBENEFICIARIESBONDSBORROWINGBORROWING COSTSBORROWINGSBUSINESS ADVISORYBUSINESS ENABLINGBUSINESS ENABLING ENVIRONMENTCAPITAL ADEQUACYCAPITAL CONSTRAINTSCAPITAL GAINSCAPITAL MARKET DEVELOPMENTCAPITAL MARKETSCOMMERCIAL BANKSCOMPETITIVE MARKETSCORPORATE GOVERNANCECREDIT CRUNCHCREDIT ENHANCEMENTCREDIT FACILITIESCREDIT GUARANTEESCREDIT MARKETSCREDIT RATINGCREDIT RISKCREDITSDEBT FINANCINGDEBT SECURITIESDEGREE OF RISKDEPOSITSDERIVATIVESDERIVATIVES MARKETSDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT BANKDEVELOPMENT BANKSDEVELOPMENT FINANCEDEVELOPMENT FINANCE INSTITUTIONDIRECT INVESTMENTSDISBURSEMENTSDOMESTIC CAPITALDOMESTIC CAPITAL MARKETDOMESTIC CREDITDOMESTIC MARKETDOMESTIC MARKETSEARNINGSECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHEMERGING ECONOMIESEMERGING MARKETEMERGING MARKETSENABLING ENVIRONMENTENTREPRENEURSHIP OPPORTUNITIESENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITYEQUITY FUNDEQUITY FUNDSEQUITY INSTRUMENTSEQUITY INVESTMENTEQUITY INVESTMENTSEQUITY PRODUCTSEQUITY STAKEEXCLUSIONEXPENDITURESEXTREME POVERTYFAIR VALUEFARMERSFEE INCOMEFINANCE INITIATIVEFINANCESFINANCIAL CAPACITYFINANCIAL CAPITALFINANCIAL INSTABILITYFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSFINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIESFINANCIAL INTERMEDIARYFINANCIAL MARKETSFINANCIAL PERFORMANCEFINANCIAL PRODUCTFINANCIAL RISKSFINANCIAL SERVICESFINANCIAL STATEMENTSFLOW OF CAPITALFOREIGN CURRENCYFOREIGN EXCHANGEFOREIGN EXCHANGE RISKFOREIGN INVESTMENTFOREIGN INVESTORSFUND MANAGERGENDERGLOBAL MARKETSGLOBAL TRADEGLOBALIZATIONGOVERNANCE STANDARDSGOVERNMENT REVENUESHOLDINGSHOLDINGS OF DEBTHOST COUNTRYHOST GOVERNMENTHOST GOVERNMENTSHOUSING FINANCEHUMAN RESOURCESINITIAL PUBLIC OFFERINGINSTRUMENTINSURANCEINSURANCE PRODUCTSINTERMEDIARY BANKSINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL BANKSINTERNATIONAL CAPITALINTERNATIONAL CAPITAL MARKETSINTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTINTERNATIONAL MARKETSINVESTINGINVESTMENT CLIMATEINVESTMENT CLIMATESINVESTMENT FUNDSINVESTMENT INCOMEINVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIESINVESTMENT PORTFOLIOINVESTMENT VOLUMEISLAMIC FINANCEJOB CREATIONLIQUID ASSETLIQUID ASSETSLIQUIDITYLIQUIDITY CONSTRAINTSLIQUIDITY MANAGEMENTLOANLOAN EXPOSURELOAN PORTFOLIOLOAN PRINCIPALLOAN PROGRAMLOAN SYNDICATIONSLOCAL BANKSLOCAL BUSINESSESLOCAL CURRENCIESLOCAL CURRENCYLOCAL ECONOMIESLOCAL FINANCIAL MARKETSLOCAL GOVERNMENTSLONG-TERM INVESTORSMARKET DEVELOPMENTMARKET ENVIRONMENTMARKET PLAYERSMATURITIESMICRO LOANSMICRO-ENTREPRENEURSMICROFINANCEMICROFINANCE LOANSMORTGAGESNET WORTHNEW BUSINESSNEW MARKETSOIL PRICESOPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMENPARTIAL CREDITPEOPLESPOOR CREDITPORTFOLIOPORTFOLIO MANAGEMENTPORTFOLIO RISKPREPAYMENTSPRINCIPAL REPAYMENTSPRIVATE CAPITALPRIVATE ENTERPRISESPRIVATE EQUITYPRIVATE INVESTMENTPRIVATE INVESTMENTSPRIVATE INVESTORSPRIVATE LENDERSPROFIT MARGINSPROFITABILITYPUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPSRATES OF RETURNREPAYMENTSRESERVESRETURNRETURN ON INVESTMENTRETURNSRISK MANAGEMENTRISK MITIGATIONRISK PROFILESEED FUNDINGSHAREHOLDERSHARES OF INVESTMENTSSMALL BUSINESSESSTUDENT LOANSTUDENT LOANSSUPPLY CHAINSSWAPSTAXTELECOMMUNICATIONSTRADE FINANCETRADE FINANCINGTRADINGTRANSITION COUNTRIESTREASURYVILLAGESWOMANWOMEN ENTREPRENEURSWorld Bank10.1596/7539
