IFC Middle East & North Africa

While popular uprisings across the region have given millions hope for the future, in the near term they have exacerbated long-standing problems like high unemployment, limited access to finance and weak regulatory frameworks.

IFC responded to those challenges with projects to restore investor confidence, spur job creation, stimulate foreign investment, support micro enterprises and improve regional infrastructure.

Our investments in the Middle East and North Africa reached $1.5 billion in FY11, covering 49 projects in 14 countries. We also provided advisory services in 11 MENA nations.
