Private Sector
The Bank’s private sector investment tripled in 2007. A strong pipeline of projects and increasing demands for Bank Group participation, including through innovative public-private partnerships, presents significant opportunities for growth, synergy and catalytic impact.
The Bank’s updated Private Sector Strategy sets out specific commitments for its work going forward. Private sector transactions will be further scaled up in the context of agreed country strategies. The Bank will effectively seek to utilize its integrated structure by having sovereign, sub-sovereign and non-sovereign instruments at its disposal, including concessionary resources under African Development Fund (ADF), to promote private sector led growth. It will strengthen the articulation of the “development case” and expected results for specific transactions and will develop a model to ensure appropriate assessment of development impact. Operational focus will be on infrastructure, industry and services, financial intermediation and microfinance / SMEs.
