The World Bank Group aims to eradicate extreme poverty and increase shared prosperity through economic growth, inclusion, and sustainable development. In Central and Eastern Europe, IFC furthers these objectives, with a strong focus on high-impact projects that can help address the most pressing needs of the region. We focus on boosting the green economy, increasing access to finance and promoting inclusion, and improving competitiveness and connectivity to help the region’s economies grow sustainably and inclusively, protecting and creating jobs. Since the COVID-19 pandemic hit, we have focused our efforts on helping the private sector mitigate the economic fallout and bringing about a green, resilient, and inclusive recovery from the pandemic.
IFC in Ukraine
As part of the broader World Bank Group’s response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, IFC has launched a $2 billion package to support the Ukrainian private sector.
A company or entrepreneur seeking to establish a new venture or expand an existing enterprise can approach IFC directly.
The investment proposal can be submitted to the IFC field office that is closest to the location of the proposed project.
