IFC Extractive Industry clients commit to disclosing payments such as royalties, dividends, taxes, and signature bonuses which they make to their host governments. This reflects IFC’s, and IFC clients’, ongoing work in increasing transparency in the extractive industries sector. 

IFC has developed a disclosure template that allows clients to clearly disclose their payments by type and regional/national splits. We actively encourage other institutions and companies to adopt the template to help in their own revenue disclosure efforts (click here to download).

The table below provides links to where IFC clients’ disclose their respective payments. 

The projects fall into three categories: 1) those which currently disclose payments made to governments, 2) those which have not yet made payments to government but will disclose once they do, and 3) those that by the nature of their business do not make payments directly related to the extraction of natural resources.

The projects below represent IFC projects committed in 2007 and 2008. They do not include routine financial activities, such as rights issues, relating to existing clients. This information is updated on an annual basis during the month of August to reflect deals committed for the previous calendar year.
