International Finance Corporation is a leading global development institution focused on the private sector in emerging markets. We operate in over 100 countries, utilizing our capital, expertise, and influence to create markets and opportunities in developing nations. Our mission is to leverage the power of the private sector to end extreme poverty and promote shared prosperity in a sustainable manner.
The IFC 3.0 strategy aims to stimulate more investment activity across emerging markets, particularly in Low Income Countries (LICs) and Fragile and Conflict-affected States (FCS). Our objective is to create, deepen, and expand markets, as well as design and develop impactful investment projects. This strategy is premised on improved country/sector diagnostic, strategic, and public sector engagement capabilities, which seek to:
- Resolve obstacles to private sector growth through diagnostic and strategic work that informs both IFC operations and relevant IBRD/IDA policy operations
- Overcome the shortage of investable projects in priority markets by proactively improving the private sector ecosystem at the country and regional level
The Country Advisory and Economics Unit of the East Asia and Pacific region supports the IFC business through the provision of country economic diagnostics, strategy, and engagement products, as well as direct support to operational teams and country units. The Unit leverages coordination across the World Bank Group, composed of economics, strategy, and operational staff responsible for:
- Producing regional and country-level economic assessments to support IFC's strategy and operations
- Collaborating with regional and industry colleagues to produce analytical products such as Country Private Sector Diagnostics (CPSDs) and IFC Country Strategies
- Significantly contributing to WBG products such as Country Partnership Frameworks (CPF), Country Climate and Development Reports (CCDR), and IBRD/IDA lending operations
- Implementing IFC's country strategy and diagnostic recommendations into practice through Advisory projects that engage with governments, regulators, civil society, development partners, and other relevant stakeholders to reform markets and sectors and address key bottlenecks to private sector development
The advisory role of CEAAE works with client country governments to address key legal and regulatory issues that constrain private sector development. Efforts are focused on improving the enabling environment that can facilitate private investment opportunities, including foreign direct investments. CEAAE addresses 'if-then' reform asks in IFC strategies, complementing World Bank efforts, while strengthening IFC's relationships with client countries in support of IFC 3.0. Specifically, the CEAAE team works proactively with governments and regulatory agencies to create effective and efficient market conditions, both at economy-wide as well as industry/sector level, for increased private investments.
