Responsive to changing needs, IFC looks at how to bridge the digital divide which threatens the developing world; at ways to strengthen domestic financial markets; at how to address basic infrastructure; and, at how to improve access to health care and education, as well as how to improve environmental, and social sustainability. IFC's single largest sectoral focus remains the financial sector, which amounted to forty six percent of new approvals, though strategic priorities were further refined to align its activities with market realities, by building business, and creating job opportunities. Moreover, it has pioneered corporate environmental and social responsibility, by moving the private sector to actively promote economic development. IFC activities during FY2000 are presented, and, through case studies, shows the range of projects, by region and investment type. Finally, IFC's financial review describes performance, funding management, capital earnings, as well as risk management, and credit risk. 2013-06-27T20:52:50Z 2013-06-27T20:52:50Z 2000-08 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2000/08/1663423/international-finance-corporation-ifc-annual-report-2000-vol-1-2-main-report 0-8213-4843-4 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/14273 English en_US CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo/ World Bank Washington, DC Publications & Research :: World Bank Annual Report Publications & Research :: Publication
