Sarvesh Suri, IFC Regional Vice President for Asia and the Pacific: ’’It is my genuine privilege to return home to Asia for a role that will allow me to make a meaningful and lasting difference in a region that has shaped me personally and professionally. Asia is where I grew up and first worked, and I am deeply humbled by the opportunity to bring together the capabilities of the public and private sectors to tackle the pressing development challenges of the region at scale … … Countries throughout Asia and the Pacific face complex and varied issues. What unites people across the region is that they all want the dignity of a job — livelihoods to support themselves and their families. My focus therefore will be on maximizing IFC’s toolkit of private sector solutions to create jobs. We can do this by mobilizing private capital and pursuing innovative financing instruments. We can strengthen local capital markets. We can make equity investments for greater impact. And we can invest in micro-, small-, and medium-enterprises as engines of job creation.”
