Africa: IE Singapore Signs MoU With IFC to Help Companies Venture Into Asia and Africa

press release

Singapore — International Enterprise (IE) Singapore today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, to help more Singapore companies access in-depth market insights and financing opportunities in emerging markets of Africa, Southeast Asia and South Asia. The World Bank is forecasting the growth of emerging markets to reach 4.1% this year, driving their demand for infrastructure to meet economic and social needs.

Combining IE Singapore's wide network of 13 overseas centres across Africa and Asia, with IFC's deep financing knowledge and expertise in these markets, both will co-host market-focused workshops for Singapore companies, sharing insights on potential business opportunities, financing landscapes and financing partners. These workshops will enable Singapore companies to engage IFC officials who are covering the regions. As part of this collaboration, IFC will also leverage Singapore's position as a regional infrastructure hub, for example, by hosting pre-bid meetings for Asian infrastructure projects.
