The International Finance Corporation (IFC) is set to ramp up its investments in Pakistan, focusing on large-scale infrastructure projects. Over the next decade, IFC plans to invest up to $2 billion per year in sectors such as airports, energy, water, and ports.

IFC’s Managing Director Makhtar Diop emphasized the importance of investing in agriculture, digital innovation, infrastructure, and financial services to drive sustainable economic growth in Pakistan.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif praised the World Bank Group’s new $40 billion Country Partnership Framework (CPF) for 2026-2035, which includes significant loans and private sector investments. PM Sharif encouraged IFC to expand its support in key areas like infrastructure, IT, climate resilience, mining, and healthcare.

The increased investments from IFC, alongside the World Bank’s support, are poised to enhance Pakistan’s infrastructure, digital sector, and financial systems, creating new opportunities for businesses and the overall economy.
