East Asia & the Pacific
East Asia and the Pacific has made significant progress against poverty over the past few decades. Yet millions still 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 FY18, our long-term commitments in the region totaled $3.4 billion, including $1.4 billion mobilized from other investors. Our clients provided employment for more than 554,000 people, provided health care for over 143,000 patients, and generated power for 4.2 million people in the region.
