🎓 It was my great pleasure to be in Los Angeles with our terrific partners from the Milken Institute and The George Washington University School of Business, celebrating the graduation of the ninth cohort of the IFC - International Finance Corporation-Milken Institute Capital Markets Program. I’ve been involved in the Capital Markets Program for four years now and have seen it grow from strength to strength. Since its founding, the program has built a powerful network of highly skilled practitioners across nations with emerging economies. I wish all the best to our graduates as you move forward in your careers, and I look forward to seeing the impact that you will make in the years to come.

Very proud of IFC’s role in launching Timor-Leste’s first public-private partnership (PPP) to build a state-of-the-art port outside of the capital city of Dili. The port already has directly created about 500 jobs and will contribute indirectly to even more jobs. It will also serve as a key ingredient in advancing trade and investment for this island-nation and for the region. Congratulations to all involved with this PPP and with making this development breakthrough possible. https://lnkd.in/gDH2muNH Thomas Lubeck Linda Munyengeterwa
