By what percentage did the amount of private capital mobilized by the World Bank Group increase in FY26 compared with FY25?

Great to participate in this event and in such a rich discussion on how to mobilize more private capital for Latin America and the Caribbean. My key takeaways: the capital is there, and our region has the assets, talent and opportunities investors are looking for. But we need to build a much stronger pipeline of bankable projects, improve the business environment, and reduce the risks that hold investment back. That’s where the @WorldBankGroup can make a difference—helping countries prepare and structure investments, while using @IFC_org, @MIGA and World Bank guarantees to crowd in private capital at scale. Ultimately, success means turning that investment into higher productivity, stronger growth, and more and better jobs. Thank you, @AtlanticCouncil, @jmarczak, @adriennearsht, @ACLatAm, @Indiana_Trejos, @JAGlezAnaya and Sergio Londoño @CocaColaCo, for bringing this important conversation forward.
