IFC in Europe, Middle East & North Africa (EMENA)
IFC's EMENA region covers the sub-regions of Europe and Central Asia and Middle East and North Africa. Our purpose is to support private sector development and growth to create opportunity for people to escape poverty and improve their lives.
The EMENA region covers 52 countries presenting a diverse range of development challenges.
Our priorities are to reach more of the region's poor and vulnerable, create jobs, increase access to infrastructure, support agricultural development, and tackle climate change.
In fiscal year 2012, IFC commitments in the EMENA region reached a record $7.03 billion in 170 projects. Both sub-regions exceeded investment volume targets and advisory services spending targets. These results represent a third of our total commitments worldwide. We also delivered important advisory services including microfinance, corporate governance, investment climate, and BusinessEdge in countries from Serbia to Kazakhstan, and from Afghanistan to Tunisia and Egypt.

We stepped up support to markets vulnerable to the eurozone crisis and deleveraging by Western banks.
