The Latest from IFC

World Bank Group Scorecard

The new scorecard provides an overarching view of the results indicators of the four institutions that make up the World Bank Group, IDA, IBRD, IFC and MIGA. The scorecard tracks progress toward the Group's broader vision to create a world free of poverty on a livable planet.  

Raising the World Bank Group’s Ambition on Gender Equality

The new Gender Strategy for 2024-2030 commits to building the foundational well-being of women, expanding economic opportunities, and engaging women as leaders—pillars that will help accelerate gender equality to end poverty on a livable planet.

IFC in Ukraine

As part of the broader World Bank Group's response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, in December 2022 IFC launched a $2 billion package to support the Ukrainian private sector. While initially focusing on short-term support, this is now shifting towards longer-term financing in key areas such as food production, energy and digital infrastructure.
