IFC works with a number of commercial banks to provide greater access to financing for micro, small and medium enterprises.
Demand for electricity in Indonesia has surged during the last decade and the government aims to dramatically expand power generation and transmission capacity.
Consumers are increasingly willing to pay for high-quality, sustainably grown produce, but small farmers in East Asia and the Pacific – many of them women – lack know-how in sustainable farming and access to international markets.
Many mom-and-pop businesses in East Asia and the Pacific have limited access to capital as they are too small to be lucrative clients for commercial banks. That’s why IFC steps in to improve microfinance initiatives.
The Asian financial crisis 15 years ago exposed severe weaknesses in corporate governance in Indonesia. Since then a lot of work has been done toward improving corporate transparency and accountability. But many companies still have a long way to go
