Summary:

This paper anlayzes the role of the International Financial Corporation (IFC) in promoting economic development in developing countries with the private sector. IFC promotes growth of new companies, indigenous companies, and helps to introduce more capital from private sources into developing countries.

IFC has a special department, partly financed by the World Bank, that has provided expertise in these areas to a number of countries.
