The private enterprise is mainly responsible for very high rate of economic development in developed countries. In undeveloped in undeveloped countries, the projects of private competitive enterprises are not in existence on large scale.

It is one of the reasons of slow economic growth of these countries. One of the economic backwardness of newly independent countries was that they have to wait for very long time for beginning the process of rapid economic development.

There was worry of the failure of democratic system because of the different approach of private enterprises.

The board of governors formulates policies, board of directors looks after day-to day operation. The chairman is the head of the institution and he also acts as a chairman of the Board of Directors.

2. To create proper environment for investment in countries all over the world.


➤ 6. Critical Evaluation

 1. The IFC has provided finance to developing countries but this is not sufficient for economic

 2. The rate of interest on loan of the IFC is very high.           

 3. The countries which are in need of funds are in Asia and Africa but the IFC has given financial help on large scale to Latin American Countries.

4. The IFC has taken lead for the development of the private sector. So the government interference is reduced resulting in capitalistic trends in  there  countries.

Though there are strong points of the IFC certain deficiencies are also their in its operations. The real question is how well the IFC can reduce the degree of these deficiencies in coming years.
