Banking

In emerging markets and frontier countries, the banking sector generally constitutes the bulk of the formal financial system.

IFC aims to strengthen these institutions, providing them with adequate capitalization, sufficient management capabilities and infrastructure, and strong corporate governance practices. In developing member countries, IFC lends to and invests equity in banks that are financially and commercially sound, as well as environmentally and socially sustainable. IFC's banking specialists also provide technical assistance in connection with investment projects.
