The International Finance Corporation (IFC) is part of the World Bank Group and
was established in 1956 to encourage private sector-led growth in developing coun-
tries. It does this by financing private sector projects, helping companies mobilize
financing in international markets, and providing advisory services and technical assis-
tance to companies and governments. IFC’s practical experience with structuring
investments, appraising potential investees and nominating corporate directors allows
it to put corporate governance principles into action. IFC’s focus on good corporate
governance practices in client companies helps it both to manage risk and to add value
to firms in emerging markets.
