WORLD BANK UNVEILS IFC2030 STRATEGY TO BOOST PRIVATE CAPITAL AND JOB CREATION

Big moves ahead to create jobs globally! World Bank President Ajay Banga announced the IFC2030 strategy, designed to mobilise private capital and turbocharge economic growth by strengthening partnerships between governments and businesses.

Banga explained how the journey shifts from public sector-led early growth to private sector-driven job creation. The strategy hinges on building strong infrastructure, clear business rules, and rewarding risk-taking with capital and guarantees. Focus sectors include energy, agribusiness, healthcare, tourism, and manufacturing, all key engines for local jobs and middle-class growth.

With initiatives like electrifying 300 million Africans by 2030 and groundbreaking healthcare projects, the World Bank’s comprehensive approach aims to unlock the private sector’s power while fostering sustainable development.
