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

FIG has three main objectives:
1) financial inclusion 2) servicing the real economy and 3) mobilizing third-party resources.

FIG's South Asia team is based across the region with main hubs and offices in India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, and Sri Lanka.

The team members work on both new business development and portfolio management across the region.

With a diverse network of markets, the pipeline of new transactions ranges from investing fresh equity in banks to structured finance products that help develop local capital markets.
