In emerging markets, startups face far greater hurdles than their counterparts in advanced economies. Studies show that while one in 1,000 young firms in advanced economies attract outside investment, only one in 36,800 does in developing economies. This disparity is why the work IFC - International Finance Corporation does with partners is critical for bridging gaps toward sustainable development. New insights on emerging markets reveal that business accelerators offer a promising solution. They don’t just provide funding—they equip startups with essential skills, networks, and resources, driving job creation and economic growth.

Vice President, Economics and Private Sector Development - International Finance Corporation, member of the World Bank Group.
I am in Cape Town this week for the launch of B20 South Africa in addition to joining a side event of the G20 Finance and Central Bank Deputies meeting. I’ll be discussing job creation, economic growth, and the role of sustainable finance. Ahead of these engagements, I had the opportunity to meet with Mr. Mirko Manzoni, Ambassador of Embassy of Switzerland in South Africa. I look forward to strengthening IFC’s partnership with SECO Economic Cooperation and Development . I also met with executives from Nedbank for an inspiring visit to Belhar Gardens, an EDGE Buildings-certified affordable housing development in the South African market. Nedbank is IFC - International Finance Corporation's first client in the country benefiting from the UK’s Market Accelerator for Green Construction Program (MAGC), a #blendedfinance initiative to accelerate the construction of certified green buildings. #G20SouthAfrica
