The International Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, has announced a record investment volume in Sub-Saharan Africa for its 2010 fiscal year, underscoring its commitment to the region’s private sector development, especially to supporting growth in the lowest income countries and those affected by conflict including Liberia.

During the fiscal year that ended in June 2010, IFC says it increased its investments in Sub-Saharan Africa to US$2.4 billion for its own account from US$1.8 billion a year earlier. It was the first time IFC’s annual investments surpassed US$2.0 billion in the region. IFC says it was successful in mobilizing an additional US$1.1 billion from other investors and approved 40 new Advisory Services projects during FY10.

Thierry Tanoh, IFC vice president for Latin America and the Caribbean, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Western Europe, noted “Private businesses that are delivering services and creating employment and other opportunities are changing lives for the better in Africa. Through another record year, IFC is demonstrating the enormous private investment potential in Africa and the continent’s readiness to attract more.”
