Description

Private sector development is essential to the promotion of successful and sustainable economies in low and middle-income countries around the world.

Sound and efficient markets can ensure that resources are allocated where they are most productive, assisting job creation and spurring economic growth.

IFC's Creating Markets Advisory (CMA) Unit delivers on IFC's capital increase commitments by providing a foundation for Regional, Industry and Upstream teams to increase private sector investment opportunities.

CMA addresses "if-then" reform asks in IFC strategies, complementing World Bank efforts, while strengthening IFC's relationships with client countries in support of IFC 3.0.

Specifically, the CMA team works proactively with governments and regulatory agencies to create effective and efficient market conditions, both at economy wide as well as industry/sector level, for increased private investments.

Our global experience shows that challenges in the business environment and lack of the right enabling regulatory framework results in countries losing significant amounts of investment annually.

The unit collaborates extensively with the public sector, private sector and other teams across the World Bank Group in the design and delivery of advisory services.

CMA currently operates across the South Asia region, with an active portfolio and pipeline in India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka.

He/she will work closely with existing IFC CMA team in India, IFC Upstream, Advisory and Investments staff to support design and implementation of reforms that address bottlenecks faced by investors in IFC's priority sectors, using a variety of WBG tools and offerings and build new business in line with the WBG/IFC country strategy, and support delivery of high quality Advisory engagements to the Government and the private sector primarily in India.

He/she will work closely with key stakeholders, especially the Country Manager, in supporting delivery of WBG/IFC country strategy and high-quality Advisory engagements.
