To achieve sustainable development and secure the prosperity and wellbeing of their people, countries need economic growth. It’s essential to create jobs and opportunities, generate goods and services, as well as provide a tax base for governments to invest in social infrastructure and public goods.
Investing to support a flourishing private sector is vital in achieving this. We invest in sectors that are critical to economic growth and make a difference to people’s lives – including increasing access to the internet, power and financial services.
