| Summary: | In fiscal year 2017, MIGA continued to work on the
WBG’s twin goals of eradicating extreme poverty and
promoting shared prosperity by focusing on IDA (low
income) countries, Fragile and Conflicted States, Climate
Change and Innovation. Projects we supported will help 8.5 million people gain
access to power, help avoid 1.1 million tons of greenhouse
gas emissions, and enable access to healthcare
for 8.7 million patients. We issued $4.8 billion in guarantees
to private investors. This is a record for MIGA.
Nearly half of our projects were in IDA. We also continued
to work tirelessly to ensure that we supported
investments in fragile and conflict-affected countries,
which make up 10% of our portfolio.
