East Asia and the Pacific has achieved significant progress against poverty over the past few decades. Yet more than 70 million people continue to struggle on less than $2 a day.
IFC supports inclusive and green growth in the region while deepening capital-market development and promoting cross-border investment. In FY17, our long-term commitments in the region totaled $2.9 billion, including funds mobilized from other investors. Our clients provided employment for more than 682,000 people, provided health care for more than 363,000 patients, and generated power for 8.9 million people in the region.
