IFC provides advisory services and direct and indirect investment services to the microfinance sector. Our focus is on creating and supporting commercially viable microfinance institutions that can attract the private capital needed to scale up and respond to unmet demand. We are playing a catalytic role by demonstrating the business case for commercial microfinance and promoting it as an asset class to private institutional investors.
