The Board approved a number of investments and joint World Bank-IFC-Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) country assistance strategies and continued to encourage stronger collaboration, both across the World Bank Group and with partners and stakeholders.

The Board continued to monitor new methods for measuring outcomes of IFC's investments and advisory services, as well as progress in implementing IFC's environmental and social performance standards. The Board welcomed IFC's strong performance in FY07. These include record levels of financing and expansion of advisory activity in Africa and the Middle East, as well as measurable progress in a number of frontier markets and strategic sectors. 2012-10-16T17:58:46Z 2012-10-16T17:58:46Z 2007 978-0-8213-7310-1 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/11849 en IFC Annual Report; CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo/ World Bank Washington, DC: World Bank Publications & Research :: Annual Report Publications & Research |

The Board approved a number of investments and joint World Bank-IFC-Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) country assistance strategies and continued to encourage stronger collaboration, both across the World Bank Group and with partners and stakeholders.
