• The interest rate charged is commercial but comparatively low. There are many attractive features of IFC’s lending.
• It finances and provides advice for private-public ventures and projects in partnership with private investors and, through its advisory work, helps governments of the member nations to create conditions that stimulate the flow of both domestic and foreign private savings and investment.
