institutions in financing private sector
3Changes in the allocation of IFI resources over
the recent years
- Declining share of the Sub-Saharan Africa (9.7
of total allocations of US23.6 billion in 2005
as compared to 12.1 of the year 2000 US10.3
billion allocations) - Increased shares of the Europe and Middle-East
North Africa regions, with Europe now accounting
for 50.8 of total allocations - More resources being channeled into Financial
Markets 45.1 of the allocations in 2005 as
compared to 29.5 in 2000. - Such changes create new challenges to DFIs and
for institutions such as IFC. Hence the need to
rethink their strategies.
4IFCs Five Strategic Priorities
- Strengthen the focus on Frontier Markets, in
particular Africa, with emphasis on technical
assistance, investment climate and SMEs - Build Long-term partnerships with emerging global
players (South-South) capitalizing on the
strengths of clients in China, India, Brazil,
South Africa, etc. - Help expand the sustainability agenda
- Address constraints to private sector growth in
infrastructure, health and education - Continue to emphasize local financial market
development
5IFC Role in Mobilization and capital Markets

role - Investment criteria limits IFC participation,
forcing mobilization - Capital Market development, also seen as a major
role for IFC - Development of sustainable financing
