Russia became a member and shareholder of IFC in 1993. Since then, IFC’s investment in Russia has totaled $5.3 billion, including $1.5 billion in syndicated loans, in 217 projects across a variety of sectors. Our investment portfolio in Russia stands at $2.24 billion, which makes it the fourth-largest country exposure for IFC globally. Our investments support key sectors, including financial services, infrastructure, manufacturing, oil, gas and mining, telecommunications and information technologies, agribusiness, retail, and health care. In FY10, IFC invested $770 million in Russia.
IFC Strategy in Russia
Through a combination of investment and advisory services we will continue to partner with clients in strategic sectors crucial for Russia’s long-term sustainable development, with a particular focus on:
- Infrastructure
- Value-added Manufacturing
- Banking and Financial Services
- Sub-national Finance

Across all sectors, IFC targets investment in Russia’s less-developed regions and in projects that contribute to greater economic diversification. IFC also focuses on developing markets for energy efficiency and renewable energy through integrated investment and advisory programs.
