IFC continued to expand its promotional and investment activities in the developing countries. The number of projects approved by the Board of Directors increased and the amount of investment approved for IFC's own account was about the same as the previous year. The Corporation maintained its profitability and its sound financial position and is well on the way to achieving the overall goals established by the current five-year program. The Board expresses its appreciation to the staff of IFC for the high standards of their performance during the year and their dedication to the purposes of the Corporation. Directors Alternates Y.

New York 4 Summaryof Operations The Corporation further increased its activities and continued to diversify into new types of businesses during the fiscal year. The number of projects undertaken rose 16 percent from 56 during the previous year to 65. At the same time, by increasing its investment promotion work by 15 percent, the Corporation built a solid base for future expansion. The number of ventures currently under consideration, especially in the lower-income countries, is at an all-time high. In spite of the lackluster economic growth that prevailed in many countries, the dollar volume of approved investments for the Corporation's own account of $424.2 million was about the same as last year's.

This was attributable to the lack of a few larger projects which, due to the unattractive investment climate that prevailed in many developing countries throughout the year, could be realized jointly with other investors. The Corporation syndicated $187.6 million and thus maintained its objective of syndicating about one-third of its loans with commercial financial institutions. The Corporation continued to concentrate greater promotional efforts in its smaller and poorer member countries, particularly in Africa, where projects tend to be smaller. As a result of this effort, almost half of the projects approved by the Board of Directors were in countries with per capita incomes of less than $760 per year.

IFC continued to broaden its investmentactivities. Manufacturing, which in the past has accounted for about two-thirds of the number of projects, was about half of the total for the year. Investments in agribusinesses and financial institutions were proportionally higher. 6 Disbursements during the year were $530.2 million. Of this, $506.9 million was for loans, including amounts disbursed for participants in IFC loans, and $23.3 million was for equity. Repayments and sales were $97 million, so that net disbursements equaled $433.2 million. Net earnings were $21.6 million compared with $19.5 million the previous fiscal year. IFC's investment portfolio is well diversified in terms of both industry and country. At the end of the year, the Corporation's investment portfolio (including undisbursed balances) held for its own account was $1,835 million, up $188 million from the previous year. In addition, $1,066.8 million was being held and administered for participants in IFC financing. Because of IFC's rapid growth in recent years, much of the portfolio is not yet mature. Of the 333 companies in the portfolio, 70 have been added within the past three years. A number of these projects are still under construction, and the loans to these companies are still within the grace periods; in many cases they are just beginning to provide the Corporation with a return on its equity investment. As was the case during the previous year, a number of companies in which the Corporation has invested faced operating and debt servicing problems attributable in part to foreign exchange shortages and other economic problems in their countries. Recognizing these circumstances, the Corporation added $22.5 million to its Reserve Against Losses; $250,000 was written off as unrecoverable. This brought the Reserve to $84 million which is considered adequate. In order to maintain a strong portfolio, the Corporation continues to increase its portfolio supervision efforts. 7 The terminal date for subscriptionsand paymentsto the capital increase approvedby the Board of Governorsin November1977 is August 1, 1982.One hundredand six countrieswere allocated468,800 shares ($468.8 million). By the end of the fiscal year, 80 of the countrieshad subscribedto 412,500 shares ($412.5 million). Paymentsof $105.3 million were received during the year, bringingthe total paid-in capital to $497.4 million. The Corporation borrowed $390 million equivalentfrom the International Bank for Reconstructionand Development(The World Bank)during the year. A total of $48.2 millionwas drawn down. In line with the recent policy changeto provide funds in other than U.S. dollars, $230 million equivalentwas made availablein Swissfrancs, Deutschemarks and Japaneseyen. Three countries,Belize, St. Lucia and Vanuatu,took up membershipin IFC duringthe year, bringingthe total to 122. As noted in this Report, the global investmentclimate continues to be affected by sluggishgrowth, inflation, and volatile interest rates. These economic conditionsseriously complicate the task of developingcountries to gain access to the various sources of external capital neededto finance their growth and development.The IFC, establishedprecisely for the purpose of serving as a catalyst for privateinvestment in developingcountries, has a vital role to play in these difficult circumstances.Not only will the Corporation continue in its traditionalrole of providingtechnical assistance and capitalto viablebusinesses in the privatesector, it alsowill developnew vehicles for mobilizingother sources of capital for private enterprisesin the Corporation's membercountries.
