IFC: Fostering Development Through Private Equity
Private equity can be a critical source of financing in emerging markets—especially for innovative small and medium enterprises in places where debt financing is limited and capital markets are less developed.
Investors and funds that take stakes in these companies not only help them expand but also provide other benefits—such as creating jobs, generating taxes, and filling gaps in service.

Solar power has enormous potential to quickly and affordably meet the energy needs of emerging markets—including in sub-Saharan Africa, where two out of three people lack access to electricity and existing grids are under strain.
