The report highlights IFC's support for businesses and entrepreneurs while promoting, developing, and generating growth. This year, IFC provided nearly $19 billion in financing for private sector development, $6.5 billion of which was mobilized from partners. IFC is making important contributions to job creation connecting the private sector to investments across the agricultural value chain, in health services, education, and training. IFC has put a special emphasis on infrastructure investment, which can provide jobs today and growth tomorrow, and this year launched the infrastructure fund to help mobilize finance. This complements the advisory services provided by the infrastructure finance center of excellence, supported by the Bank Group and the Government of Singapore. IFC is also expanding its work in the poorest countries, post-conflict zones, and areas at risk. Its leadership in private sector development is reflected in IFC's deepening partnership with the Group of 20 on critical issues such as jobs, food security, and opportunities for small and medium enterprises. This year's world development report, on conflict, security, and development, underscores the critical role the private sector can play in countries affected by fragility and conflict. This is the year of the client. Clients in the private sector make IFC's work real. Their partnership with IFC promotes development and helps create opportunity for the poor and they deserve special recognition for it.enCC BY-NC-ND 3.0 IGOAccountingasset classAsset Managementasset portfoliosAsset-Liability Managementasset-liability mismatchesassets ratiobalance sheetBalance Sheetsbank depositsbanking institutionsbankruptcybasis pointbenchmark bondsbondbond issuebondsborrowerbuybackscapital adequacycapital allocationcapital basecapital flowscapital gainscapital requirementsCapital StockCapitalizationCash Flowscash inflowscentral bankscertificates of depositscollateralcollateral agreementsCollective investmentcommercial bankingcommercial bankscommodity priceconflicts of interestcontractual obligationscorporate bondscorporate governancecorporate lawcredit guaranteescredit lossescredit policiescredit rating agenciescredit ratingsCREDIT RISKcredit risk exposurecredit riskscredit spreadcurrencycurrency compositioncurrency riskdebtdebt crisisdebt instrumentsdebt obligationsdebt securitiesDebt securityderivativederivative instrumentsderivative productsderivative transactionsderivativesderivatives marketdeveloping countriesdeveloping countrydevelopment financeDisbursementDisbursementsdiscount notedomestic capitaldomestic capital marketsdomestic marketsDue Diligenceeconomic developmentemerging marketemerging marketsenabling environmentEquity Fundequity fundsequity investmentequity investmentsequity marketsexchange ratesexpendituresexternal debtExternal fundingfair valuefinancesfinancial futuresfinancial institutionsfinancial instrumentsfinancial marketFINANCIAL PERFORMANCEFINANCIAL RISKfinancial risksFinancial Statementsfinancial structurefixed incomefloaterfloating rateForeign currencyforeign exchangeforeign investmentfraudfund managerGlobal Tradegovernance issuesgovernment bondsgovernment guaranteesgovernment securitiesGuarantee feeshost governmentincome instrumentsinstitutional investorsinsuranceinsurance companiesinterest rateinterest rate futuresinterest rate riskinterest rate risksinterest rate swapinterest rate swapsinterest ratesInternal AuditInternational Bankinternational banksinternational capitalinternational capital marketsinternational creditinternational credit ratingInternational DevelopmentINTERNATIONAL FINANCEinternational financial marketsinvestingInvestment climateinvestment decisionsinvestment guidelinesInvestment Portfolioinvestment processinvestment vehiclesIslamic financeissuanceissuanceslenderlendersliabilityliquid assetLiquid Assetsliquidityliquidity crisisliquidity managementLIQUIDITY RISKloanloan participantsloan portfolioloan productslocal bankslocal currencylocal financial marketslocal governmentmark-to-marketmarket accessmarket borrowingsmarket conditionsmarket environmentmarket makersMARKET RISKmaturitiesmaturityMicrofinanceMoney marketMoney market instrumentsmortgagemortgage-backed securitiesmutual fundsnon-performing loansoutstanding debtpartial creditpayment obligationsportfolio managementportfolio performanceportfolio riskportfoliosprepaymentsprice transparencyprivate equityprivate sector financeprobability of defaultproductive investmentspublic marketsrepaymentreposreservereservesReturnreturnsRisk Controlrisk exposurerisk factorRisk Managementrisk management servicesrisk measurementsrisk of loansRISK PROFILErisk sharingSettlementshareholderssovereign debtSubordinated Debtswaptime depositsTrade Financetradingtransactiontransition countriesTreasuriesTreasuryvaluationsvalue of assetsvariable rateWorld Bank10.1596/11850
