IFC provides investments and advisory services to build the private sector in developing countries.

IFC is a dynamic organization, constantly adjusting to the evolving needs of our clients in emerging markets. We are no longer defined predominantly by our role in providing project finance to companies in developing countries. We have also: 

                               Developed innovative investment services
                               Broadened our capacity to provide advisory services
                               Deepened our corporate governance, environmental and social expertise

IFC's corporate powers are vested in a Board of Governors, to which each country appoints a governor, generally the minister of finance or an equivalent. The creation of IFC in 1956 represented the first step by the global community to foster private sector investment in developing nations.  

IFC has 182 member countries, which collectively determine its policies and approve investments.
