This year's report reflects the deepening collaboration across the World Bank Group to deliver on that agenda. Working as One World Bank Group, with unified country office leadership and a shared strategy built around three reinforcing pillars — strengthening infrastructure, improving business environments, and mobilizing private capital at scale — we are deploying public and private finance together more effectively than ever before. For clients, that means solutions delivered with greater speed, simplicity, and accountability.
The results are record-breaking. Across the World Bank Group, we mobilized $112 billion in private capital in fiscal 2026 — more than triple the level of just four years ago — making us the largest mobilizer of private capital among multilateral development banks.
For IFC, this was another landmark year. We committed a record $105.6 billion in fiscal 2026, including over $73.6 billion in private capital mobilized from other investors. These results reflect IFC's expanded work across equity investments, guarantees, and co-lending platforms, and our growing role as the private sector engine of the World Bank Group's jobs strategy.
