💡Fantastic news for #Bulgaria! I’m delighted to share that IFC - International Finance Corporation is supporting Rezolv Energy via an investment in Bulgaria's largest private #solarPV project, set to generate around 313 gigawatt-hours of clean energy annually – enough to power more than 30,000 households annually. This accelerates Bulgaria's shift from coal to #RenewableEnergy, and supports the country’s path to a cleaner, more resilient, and market-based energy sector. http://wrld.bg/riSv50TMsff IFC Europe IFC Infrastructure

🔴 Energetyczna transformacja w centrum strategii dla Polski: kluczowa rola sektora prywatnego Energetyczna transformacja jest fundamentem strategii Międzynarodowej Korporacji Finansowej (IFC - International Finance Corporation) i Banku Światowego (The World Bank) dla Polski, podkreśla Ines Rocha, Dyrektor regionalna IFC na Europę. Jej zdaniem bez wsparcia sektora prywatnego osiągnięcie zielonej gospodarki będzie niemożliwe. Dlatego właśnie IFC skupia swoje finansowanie na prywatnych inwestycjach, wspierając rozwój kluczowych sektorów. 🗣️ Polska jest dla nas jednym z najważniejszych rynków operacyjnych. W ciągu ostatnich dwóch lat zmobilizowaliśmy i zainwestowaliśmy tutaj ponad 1,6 miliarda dolarów” – zaznacza Ines Rocha, wymieniając kluczowe obszary działań: transport, przemysł bateryjny, rozwój offshore i technologii wodorowych. Czy przyszłość polskiej gospodarki energetycznej jest już na wyciągnięcie ręki❓ Cały materiał do obejrzenia dzięki realizacji Business Insider Polska ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/dtF-bJXM

I’m very happy to share that yesterday we announced the largest Foreign Direct Investment in #Ukraine since the invasion, IFC - International Finance Corporation and EBRD inked an agreement to provide a $435 million loan to create the country’s second-largest telecom operator. This groundbreaking deal exemplifies IFC’s ability to support European players in navigating challenging markets, while also enhancing digital infrastructure for Ukraine’s future. 💡 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐢𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬? The telecommunications sector has been a lifeline for Ukraine since the onset of the Russian invasion, playing a critical role in keeping people connected, informed, and safe. Mobile phones and internet connectivity are crucial for citizens to receive vital emergency alerts, such as air raid warnings, attack details, and power outage updates. Essential industries like utilities, banking, and education depend on a reliable telecom infrastructure to continue functioning. 📉𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 The sector has faced $1.9 billion in damages and $750 million in losses. Rebuilding better requires a massive effort, with Ukraine needing $486.2 billion in recovery investments. 👨👩👧👦 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 With this investment, IFC is set to improve telecom services for 10 million customers and provide 4 million homes with faster internet. We’re also reducing Ukraine’s carbon footprint—cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 31,875 tons of CO2 annually. This move supports both digital transformation and sustainability. 🇺🇦 𝐀 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐞𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 Since the invasion, IFC has invested $1.6 billion in Ukraine, including $1.1 billion from our own account and 530m mobilization. We’re committed to critical sectors like energy, transport, agriculture, and technology, preparing Ukraine for a resilient future. I sat down with Les Echos and Radio France Internationale to discuss how IFC is laying the groundwork for #Ukraine’s economic recovery. By boosting digital connectivity and strengthening network resilience, we’re ensuring critical services reach communities and signaling to global investors that Ukraine’s economy remains strong and full of potential. Big thanks to the great team that made it happen!!
