IFC supports companies as they become more efficient and deploy new technologies.
Assel Choibekova, IFC
IFC helps regional businesses compete on the global stage, supporting them as they become more operationally efficient, develop sustainable supply chains, use energy more efficiently, and adopt new technologies. We also help state-owned enterprises prepare for privatization, key to unlocking their potential.
