CY08 and CY07 data are not strictly comparable, because they are based on a changed portfolio of IFC clients. Indicator definitions and reporting periods vary somewhat across industries. Some CY07 data have been revised.
*Selected departments only. Employment: CY08 data includes infrastructure (172,819 jobs, 107 companies), which only had partial data for CY07 (57,797 jobs, 24 companies).
**Includes just over one million patients in a hospital chain in India, in which IFC has a 1.3% equity stake.
