In Central and Eastern Europe, the World Bank Group aims to eradicate extreme poverty and increase shared prosperity through economic growth, inclusion, and sustainable development. IFC furthers these objectives, with a strong focus on high-impact projects that can help address the most pressing needs of the region.

IFC works with Western European companies to help them expand their operations or start new ventures in emerging markets through mainstream and innovative financial products. 

We organize industry- and sector-specific knowledge-sharing events for these companies and use our global expertise to help them learn about private sector investment opportunities in their target regions.
