SUMMARY INFORMATION
Except as otherwise indicated, all data are as of June 30, 2019.
IFC is an international organization, established in 1956 to further economic growth in its developing member countries by promoting private sector development. IFC is a member of the World Bank Group but is a legal entity separate and distinct from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (“IBRD”), the International Development Association (“IDA”), the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (“MIGA”), and the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (“ICSID”) with its own Articles of Agreement, share capital, financial structure, management, and staff. Membership in IFC is open only to member countries of IBRD. The obligations of IFC are not obligations of, or guaranteed by, IBRD or any government.
IFC is an experienced supranational organization providing financing and financial services primarily to the private sector in developing countries that are members of IFC. It combines the characteristics of a multilateral development bank with those of a private financial institution. As of June 30, 2019 IFC’s entire share capital was held by 185 member countries. As of June 30, 2019, member countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) held 65.51% of the voting power of IFC. The five largest of IFC’s 185 shareholders are the United States (20.98% of the total voting power), Japan (6.01%), Germany (4.77%), United Kingdom (4.48%), and France (4.48%). Generally, IFC charges market-based rates for its loans and seeks market returns on its equity investments and investments in debt securities. Unlike most other multilateral institutions, IFC does not accept host government guarantees of its loans. The financial strength of IFC is based principally on the quality of its investment portfolio, its substantial paid-in capital and retained earnings, low debt to equity ratio, the size of its liquid assets portfolio, its diversified earnings base and its profitability.
Basis of Preparation of IFC’s Consolidated Financial Statements.    The accounting and reporting policies of IFC conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). IFC’s accounting policies are discussed in more detail in the Section VI, Critical Accounting Policies and in Note A to IFC’s FY19 consolidated financial statements.
Investment Products.    As of June 30, 2019, IFC’s disbursed loan, equity, and debt securities investment portfolio (“disbursed investment portfolio”) amounted to United States dollars (“US dollars” or “$”) 44.54 billion. Loans represented 57.0%, equity investments 29.0%, and debt securities 14.0% of the disbursed investment portfolio. The disbursed investment portfolio is diversified by country, region, industry, sector, and project type. Risks are shared with other private sector investors as IFC does not generally provide financing for its own account for more than 25% of project cost. IFC’s investment portfolio is subject to a number of key financial policies approved by its Board of Directors.
Liquid Assets.    As of June 30, 2019, the fair value of IFC’s liquid assets portfolio (net of associated derivative instruments and securities lending activities) amounted to $39.7 billion, up from $38.9 billion at June 30, 2018. IFC’s liquid assets plus undrawn borrowings from IBRD are sufficient to cover all of IFC’s undisbursed loan and equity commitments. IFC’s overall liquidity policy is to maintain a minimum level of liquidity, plus undrawn borrowing commitments from the IBRD, that would cover at least 45% of the next three years estimated cash requirements. IFC invests its liquid assets portfolio in highly rated interest bearing instruments issued by, or unconditionally guaranteed by, governments, government instrumentalities, multilateral organizations, and high quality corporate issuers; these include asset-backed securities (“ABS”) and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), time deposits and other unconditional obligations of banks and financial institutions. Diversification in multiple dimensions ensures a favorable risk return profile. IFC manages the market risk associated with these investments through a variety of hedging techniques including derivatives, principally currency and interest rate swaps and financial futures.
Borrowings.    IFC raises virtually all of the funds for its lending, equity and debt security investment activities through the issuance of debt obligations in the international capital markets, while maintaining a small borrowing window with IBRD. IFC diversifies its borrowings by currency, country, source and maturity to provide flexibility and cost effectiveness. As of June 30, 2019, IFC’s outstanding borrowings, including fair value adjustments, totaled $54.1 billion. In addition, IFC undertakes a substantial volume of currency swap and interest rate swap transactions to convert its market borrowings into variable-rate US dollar liabilities.
Enterprise Risk Management.    In executing its sustainable private sector development business, IFC assumes various risks. Active management of these risks is critical to IFC’s ability to both maintain financial sustainability and achieve development impact.
IFC’s enterprise risk management framework (ERM) is designed to enable the prudent management of financial and reputational impacts that originate from the Corporation’s business activities. In this context, IFC’s risk management efforts are designed specifically to help align the Corporation’s performance with its strategic direction. The ERM framework that IFC adopted in FY14 is aligned broadly with industry standards and is designed to underpin IFC’s response to risk by defining: IFC’s core risk management principles, a common risk taxonomy for use across the organization, to help ensure that risk management efforts are coordinated and aligned across the distinct parts of the organization that share responsibility for managing different aspects of risk, a standard classification of roles and responsibilities for risk management, to differentiate and thereby clarify how different parts of the Corporation contribute towards the overall management of risk, how emerging and evolving risks are identified, defined, monitored and managed, and the structures, processes and methods that are necessary to put active risk management into practice.
Total Capital.    As of June 30, 2019, IFC’s total capital amounted to $27.6 billion, including $26.3 billion in retained earnings, of which $0.4 billion has been designated for specific purposes. IFC’s reporting of capital adequacy is “Deployable Strategic Capital.” Deployable Strategic Capital is based on the Corporation’s Board of Director-approved risk based economic capital. Deployable Strategic Capital as a percentage of Total Resources Available (defined as paid-in capital plus retained earnings net of designated retained earnings plus general and specific reserves against losses on loans) stood at 11.6% at June 30, 2019. Under IFC’s Articles of Agreement, so long as IFC has outstanding indebtedness to IBRD, IFC’s leverage, as measured by the ratio of IFC’s debt (borrowings plus outstanding guarantees) to equity (total subscribed capital plus retained earnings), may not exceed 4.0 to 1. At June 30, 2019, this ratio was 2.2 to 1.
The above information is supplemented and qualified by the additional information

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
as of and for the year ended June 30, 2019
 
 
 



EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) discusses the financial results of the International Finance Corporation (IFC or the Corporation) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 (FY19). This executive summary highlights selected information and may not contain all of the information that is important to readers of this document. For a complete description of FY19’s performance, as well as the risks and critical accounting estimates affecting IFC, this MD&A should be read in its entirety.

OVERVIEW
IFC is the largest global development institution focused on the private sector in developing countries. Established in 1956, IFC is owned by 1852 member countries, a group that collectively determines its policies. IFC is a member of the World Bank Group (WBG)3 but is a legal entity separate and distinct from IBRD, IDA, MIGA, and ICSID, with its own Articles of Agreement, share capital, financial structure, management, and staff. Membership in IFC is open only to member countries of IBRD.
In FY19, IFC stepped up its focus on the poorest countries and fragile areas, in line with the capital increase that shareholders endorsed in April 2018. In FY19, IFC made $8.9 billion in long-term investments from its own account and mobilized $10.2 billion from other investors, totaling over $19.1 billion in long-term investments. These investments supported 269 long-term finance projects in developing countries. In addition, IFC extended $4.5 billion in short-term trade finance, with more than half ($2.5 billion) in IDA/Fragile and Conflict Affected States (FCS) countries.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
From year to year, IFC’s net income is affected by a number of factors that can result in volatile financial performance. Beginning in FY19, IFC’s net income includes all unrealized gains and losses on investments in equity securities, resulting from adopting ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities (ASU 2016-01), as discussed in more detail in Note A to the FY19 consolidated financial statements. This has resulted in, and will continue to result in, volatility in net income given the size of IFC’s current equity portfolio, the higher balances of equity investments recorded at fair value through net income, and the volatility inherent in security prices and resulting impact on investment valuations. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 also impacted the comparability of IFC’s financial results between FY19 and the year ended June 30, 2018 (FY18) - See Section VII for additional details.
The overall market environment also has a significant influence on IFC’s financial performance. Emerging equity markets were volatile during FY19 with a significant decline in the first half of the year and an improvement in the second half, primarily in FY19 Q3; commodity prices, including oil, declined for the year and IFC’s major investment currencies depreciated against IFC’s reporting currency, the US dollar.
IFC reported net income of $93 million in FY19, $1,187 million lower than FY18 ($1,280 million) and $1,329 million lower than the year ended June 30, 2017 (FY17 ) ($1,422 million). The decline in net income in FY19 was primarily due to lower valuations on equity investments in the three months ended September 30, 2018 (FY19 Q1) and the three months ended December 31, 2018 (FY19 Q2) contributing to a net loss of $446 million in FY19 Q1 and a net loss of $401 million in FY19 Q2 with a significant improvement in the three months ended March 31, 2019 (FY19 Q3) ($655 million net income) and the three months ended June 30, 2019 (FY19 Q4) ($285 million net income). IFC's net income was also impacted by lower realized gains on sales of equity investments and higher debt security impairment losses due to the significant depreciation of a currency that was deemed other than temporary in FY19 Q1. However, IFC also recorded higher foreign currency transaction gains on non-trading activities on foreign exchange hedges of the exposure in these investments, which substantially offset the impact of the debt security impairment losses. IFC also recorded higher income from liquid asset trading activities, higher loan and debt security net interest income, and higher net foreign currency gains on non-trading activities. IFC’s financial performance is detailed more fully in Section VII – Results of Operations.
Management uses Income Available for Designations (a non-GAAP measure) as a basis for designations of retained earnings. Income Available for Designations generally comprises net income excluding: net unrealized gains and losses on equity investments and net unrealized gains and losses on non-trading financial instruments accounted for at fair value, income from consolidated entities other than AMC, and expenses reported in net income related to prior year designations. In FY19, Income Available for Designations is calculated under accounting standards for equity investments in effect prior to July 1, 2018 as this formed the basis of IFC’s approach to designations and sliding scale formula approved by IFC’s Board in FY17, and which is consistent with the approach to calculating Income Available for Designations in FY18 and FY17.
Income Available for Designations was $909 million in FY19, $1,318 million in FY18 and $1,233 million in FY17.
2 On April 13, 2019, Tuvalu became the 185th member country of IFC.
3 The other institutions of the World Bank Group are the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), the International Development Association (IDA), the Multilateral Investment Guaranty Agency (MIGA), and the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID).

BASIS OF PREPARATION OF IFC’S CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accounting and reporting policies of IFC conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). IFC’s accounting policies are discussed in more detail in Section VI, Critical Accounting Policies, and in Note A to IFC’s FY19 consolidated financial statements.
The Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains forward looking statements which may be identified by such terms as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans” or words of similar meaning. Such statements involve a number of assumptions and estimates that are based on current expectations, which are subject to risks and uncertainties beyond IFC’s control. Consequently, actual future results could differ materially from those currently anticipated. IFC undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

II. CLIENT SERVICES    
FINANCIAL BUSINESS MODEL
IFC helps developing countries achieve sustainable growth by financing private sector investment, mobilizing capital in international financial markets, and providing advisory services to businesses and governments. IFC’s principal investment products are loans, equity investments, debt securities and guarantees. IFC also plays an active and direct role in mobilizing additional funding from other investors and lenders through a variety of means. Such means principally comprise: loan participations, parallel loans, the Managed Co-lending Portfolio Program (MCPP), the non-IFC portion of structured finance transactions, and the non-IFC portion of commitments in funds managed by IFC’s wholly owned subsidiary, IFC Asset Management Company LLC (AMC4), (collectively Core Mobilization). Unlike most other development institutions, IFC does not accept host government guarantees of its exposures. IFC raises virtually all of the funds for its lending activities through the issuance of debt obligations in the international capital markets, while maintaining a small borrowing window with IBRD. Equity investments are funded from capital (or net worth).
IFC’s capital base and its assets and liabilities, other than its equity investments, are primarily denominated in US dollars ($ or US$) or swapped into US dollars but it has a growing portion of debt issuances denominated in currencies other than US dollars which are invested in such currencies. Overall, IFC seeks to minimize foreign exchange and interest rate risks arising from its loans and liquid assets by closely matching the currency and rate bases of its assets in various currencies with liabilities having the same characteristics. IFC generally manages non-equity investment related and certain lending related residual currency and interest rate risks by utilizing currency and interest rate swaps and other derivative instruments.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
For all new investments, IFC articulates the expected impact on sustainable development, and, as the projects mature, IFC assesses the quality of the development benefits realized.
IFC’s strategic focus areas are aligned to advance the WBG’s global priorities.
INVESTMENT SERVICES
IFC’s investments are normally made in its developing member countries. The Articles of Agreement mandate that IFC shall invest in productive private enterprises. The requirement for private ownership does not disqualify enterprises that are partly owned by the public sector if such enterprises are organized under local commercial and corporate law, operate free of host government control in a market context and according to profitability criteria, and/or are in the process of being totally or partially privatized.

4 On June 27, 2019, the Board approved a proposed change in legal status to be implemented by transferring AMC to IFC (by merger or transfer of assets and liabilities) following which AMC will cease to exist as a separate legal entity. This change is not expected to have a significant impact on IFC's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

INVESTMENT PRODUCTS
Loans – IFC finances projects and companies through loans, typically for seven to twelve years. IFC also makes loans to intermediary banks, leasing companies, and other financial institutions for on-lending. IFC provides long-term local-currency solutions and helps companies access local capital markets through loans from IFC denominated in local currency, derivatives which allow clients to hedge existing or new foreign currency denominated liabilities back in to the client’s local currency, and structured finance which enable clients to borrow in local currency from other sources. While IFC’s loans have traditionally been denominated in the currencies of major industrial nations, IFC has made it a priority to structure local currency products based on client demand and on IFC’s ability to fund in local-currency and/or economically hedge loans in these currencies through the use of derivatives, principally currency and interest rate swaps and financial futures.
Loans generally have the following characteristics:
Term - typically amortizing with final maturities generally for seven to twelve years, although some loans have been made for tenors as long as 20 years
Currency - primarily in major convertible currencies, principally US dollar, and to a lesser extent, Euro, but with a growing local-currency loan portfolio
Interest rate - typically variable (or fixed and swapped into variable)
Pricing - reflects such factors as market conditions and country and project risks
Equity Investments - Equity investments provide developmental support and long-term growth capital that private enterprises need. IFC invests directly in companies’ equity, and also through private-equity funds. IFC generally invests between 5 and 20 percent of a company’s equity. IFC’s equity investments are typically in the form of common or preferred stock which is not mandatorily redeemable by the issuer or puttable to the issuer by IFC. Equity investments are usually denominated in the currency of the country in which the investment is made. IFC also uses put and call options, profit participation features, conversion features, warrants and other types of instruments in managing its equity investments.
Debt Securities - Investments typically in the form of bonds and notes issued in bearer or registered form, securitized debt obligations (e.g. asset-backed securities (ABS), mortgage-backed securities (MBS), and other collateralized debt obligations) and preferred shares that are mandatorily redeemable by the issuer or puttable to the issuer by IFC.
Trade and Supply Chain Finance - IFC’s Global Trade Finance Program (GTFP) guarantees trade-related payment obligations of approved financial institutions. Separately, the Global Trade Liquidity Program (GTLP) and Critical Commodities Finance Program (CCFP) provides liquidity, through risk sharing, for trade in developing countries. IFC has also commenced a number of other Trade and Supply Chain Finance-related programs, including Global Trade Supplier Finance (GTSF), Global Warehouse Finance Program, Working Capital and Systemic Solutions and Global Trade Structured Trade.
Local Currency Finance - Lending to the private sector in developing countries has traditionally been in the form of loans denominated in foreign currency such as the US dollar or the Euro. But the volatility in currency markets represents a major risk for companies with revenues in local currency. IFC provides long-term local currency solutions and helps companies access local capital markets.
Guarantees and Partial Credit Guarantees - IFC’s guarantee is available for debt instruments and trade obligations of clients and covers commercial as well as noncommercial risks. IFC will provide local currency guarantees, but when a guarantee is called, the client will generally be obligated to reimburse IFC in US dollar terms. A partial credit guarantee represents a promise of full and timely debt service payment up to a predetermined amount. Typically, the sum that IFC pays out under the guarantee covers creditors irrespective of the cause of default. The guarantee amount may vary over the life of the transaction based on the borrower’s expected cash flows and creditors’ concerns regarding the stability of cash flows. The guarantee is structured to reduce the probability of default of the debt instrument and increase the recovery if default occurs.
Portfolio Risk Sharing Facilities - A risk sharing facility allows a client to sell a portion of the risk associated with a pool of assets. The assets typically remain on the client’s balance sheet and the risk transfer comes from a partial guarantee provided by IFC.
Securitizations - IFC invests in domestics or cross-border securitizations and provides credit enhancement to transactions through funded or unfunded participations, mainly at the mezzanine level.
Blended Finance - In addition to providing commercial financing for IFC’s own account, IFC uses a number of complementary tools to crowd in private sector financing that would otherwise not be available to projects with high development impact. IFC blends concessional funds, typically from development partners, alongside IFC’s own commercial funding.

IDA-PSW - The IDA-PSW is a new development finance tool to crowd-in more private sector investment where it is most needed. The $2.5 billion IDA-PSW was created under the IDA18 Replenishment for IFC and MIGA to rebalance the risk-reward profile for private sector projects in the poorest countries eligible to borrow from IDA and fragile and conflict-affected situations. The IDA-PSW is implemented through four facilities:
A Risk Mitigation Facility: Involves both MIGA and IFC, this facility is designed to provide project-based guarantees to encourage/mobilize private sector investment in infrastructure projects and public-private partnerships.
A Local Currency Facility: Administered by IFC, this facility is designed to provide local currency denominated loans, investments or hedges to private sector clients who operate in markets where there are limited currency hedging capabilities. In the absence of currency hedging instruments and creditworthy counterparties, IDA would enter into swaps or indemnity agreement with IFC.
A Blended Finance Facility: Administered by IFC, this facility blends PSW financing support with IFC investments to support small and medium enterprises (SMEs), agribusiness and other pioneering investments.
A MIGA Guarantee Facility: Administered by MIGA, this facility is designed to expand the coverage of MIGA Political Risk Insurance (PRI) products through shared first-loss or risk participation similar to reinsurance.
Client Risk Management Services - IFC extends long-maturity risk management products to clients in developing countries. IFC provides derivative products to its clients to allow them to hedge their interest rate, currency, or commodity-price exposures. IFC intermediates between clients in developing countries and derivatives market makers to provide such clients with access to risk‑management products to bridge the credit gap between its clients and the market.
Mobilization Products - IFC promotes development by mobilizing financing for the private sector in its developing member countries.
Loan Participations (B Loans): Through its B Loan Program, IFC offers participants the opportunity to lend to IFC-financed projects. These loans are a key part of IFC’s efforts to mobilize additional private sector financing in developing countries, thereby broadening the Corporation’s developmental impact. When an IFC loan includes financing from the market through the B Loan Program, IFC retains a portion of the loan for its own account (the A Loan), and sells participations in the remaining portion to participants (the B Loan). The borrower signs a single Loan Agreement with IFC, and IFC signs a Participation Agreement with the participant or participants. IFC is the sole contractual lender for the borrower. While IFC is the lender of record, the participants’ involvement is known to the borrower. The structure allows participants to fully benefit from IFC’s status as a multilateral development institution.
A Loan Participations: An A Loan Participation (ALP) is an exposure management tool which IFC uses to reduce its risk exposures to a client, country or sector. An ALP is created through the partial sale of an A Loan to commercial banks or other financial institutions and is governed by a Participation Agreement, much like the agreement used for B Loans. As in a B Loan, IFC remains the lender of record for the entire A Loan and an ALP participant shares all project risks with IFC and has the same benefits of a traditional B Loan participant.

Parallel Loans: IFC acts as an arranger - and can also act as an administrative agent - by using its existing mobilization platform, deal‑structuring expertise and global presence to identify investments, perform due diligence, and negotiate loan documents in cooperation with parallel lenders.
MCPP: MCPP creates diversified portfolios of emerging market private sector loans. MCPP leverages IFC’s origination capacity and deep market knowledge to source opportunities for third party investors to co-lend alongside IFC. MCPP gives IFC the ability to provide larger financing packages than it could from its own account and increases the pool of financing available for achieving development goals. MCPP builds a loan portfolio for an investor that mirrors the portfolio IFC is creating for its own account. MCPP investors and IFC sign upfront administration agreements determining the makeup of the portfolio based on agreed eligibility. Investors pledge capital upfront and then as IFC identifies eligible deals, investor exposure is allocated alongside IFC’s own per the terms of the agreement.
INVESTMENT PROGRAM
COMMITMENTS
In FY19, the Long-Term Finance program was $8,920 million, as compared to $11,630 million in FY18 and Core Mobilization was $10,206 million, as compared to $11,671 million for FY18, a decrease in the total of Long-Term Finance and Core Mobilization of $4,175 million or 18%. Program outcomes reflect a challenging year for IFC with its organizational realignment and workforce planning exercise and the introduction of an Accountability and Decision-Making Framework. Macroeconomic volatility in some of our key markets also impacted program delivery.
In addition, the average outstanding balance for Short-Term Finance was $3,256 million at June 30, 2019, as compared to $3,435 million at June 30, 2018.

The carrying value of IFC’s investment portfolio comprises: (i) the disbursed investment portfolio; (ii) less reserves against losses on loans; (iii) unamortized deferred loan origination fees, net and other; (iv) disbursed amount allocated to a related financial instrument reported separately in other assets or derivative assets; (v) unrealized gains and losses on equity investments held by consolidated variable interest entities; and (vi) unrealized gains and losses on investments. The carrying value of IFC’s investment portfolio at June 30, 2019 includes $1,433 million of cumulative unrealized gains on equity securities as of June 30, 2018 that were previously accounted for at cost less impairment.
The carrying value of IFC’s investment portfolio was $43,462 million at June 30, 2019 ($42,264 million at June 30, 2018), comprising the loan portfolio of $23,983 million ($23,609 million at June 30, 2018), the equity portfolio of $13,130 million ($13,032 million at June 30, 2018), and the debt security portfolio of $6,349 million ($5,623 million at June 30, 2018).

LOANS
Loans comprise 57% of the disbursed investment portfolio as of June 30, 2019 (60% at June 30, 2018) and 55% of the carrying amount of the investment portfolio as of June 30, 2019 (56% at June 30, 2018).
The carrying amount of IFC’s loan portfolio on IFC’s consolidated balance sheet (comprising the disbursed loan portfolio together with adjustments as detailed in Note D to IFC’s FY19 consolidated financial statements) grew 2% to $23,983 million at June 30, 2019 ($23,609 million at June 30, 2018) analyzed as follows:
Figure 2: Carrying Amount of Loan Portfolio (US$ millions)
chart-8aab2d82b6db5e70b40.jpg
Disbursements exceeded repayments by $605 million in FY19. Write-offs, net of recoveries totaled $196 million in FY19 and currency exchange rate fluctuations totaled $138 million in FY19. IFC’s reporting currency, the US dollar, appreciated significantly against emerging market investment currencies in FY19 such as the Turkish lira and Colombian peso. Foreign exchange losses are largely offset by foreign exchange gains from associated currency swaps. The residual foreign exchange gain or loss represents the foreign exchange gain or loss on quasi-equity loans and loans funded by local currency bonds. Other comprises capitalized interest and charges, loan conversions and transfers.
Loans have been traditionally denominated in the currencies of major industrial nations, but IFC has an extensive portfolio of local currency products. IFC typically offers local currency products in other currencies where it can economically hedge the local currency loan cash flows back into US dollars using swap markets or where it can fund itself in local bond markets. IFC’s disbursed loan portfolio at June 30, 2019 includes $4,294 million of currency products denominated in Brazilian real, Indian rupee, Chinese renminbi, Mexican peso, South African rand, Colombian peso, Indonesian rupiah, Philippine peso, New Romanian lei, Kazakhstan tenge, Hong Kong dollar, Turkish lira, Peruvian Soles nuevo and Sri Lankan rupee ($3,698 million at June 30, 2018). The $596 million increase in FY19 in local currency loans outstanding measured in US dollars was mainly due to disbursements of loans denominated in Indian rupee, Mexicon peso and Brazilian real. IFC has also made loans in a number of frontier market currencies such as Sri Lankan rupee, Zambian kwacha, Vietnamese dong and Jordanian dinar.
At June 30, 2019, 72% of IFC’s disbursed loan portfolio was US dollar-denominated (73% at June 30, 2018).

EQUITY INVESTMENTS
IFC’s disbursed equity portfolio totaled $12,929 million at June 30, 2019 ($10,975 million at June 30, 2018), an increase of $1,954 million or 18%.
Equity investments accounted for 29% of IFC’s disbursed investment portfolio at June 30, 2019, compared with 26% at June 30, 2018 and 30% of the carrying amount of the investment portfolio at June 30, 2019 (31% at June 30, 2018).
The carrying amount of IFC’s equity investment portfolio (comprising the disbursed equity portfolio, together with adjustments as detailed in Note D to IFC’s FY19 consolidated financial statements), grew 0.8% to $13,130 million at June 30, 2019 ($13,032 million at June 30, 2018) analyzed as follows:
Figure 3: Carrying Amount of Equity Investments Portfolio (US$ millions)
chart-14b1553e8c60532a9ec.jpg
The cumulative impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-01 in FY19 accounted for $1,513 million of the increase. Sales of equity investments exceeded new equity investments by $578 million.  Changes in fair value of equity investments (excluding the impact of foreign exchange) totaled -$670 million with the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on the value of equity investments totaling -$184 million as certain large exposure currencies depreciated against the US dollar during FY19. Other comprises conversions and transfers from loans and debt securities.
The fair value of IFC’s equity portfolio6 was $13,890 million at June 30, 2019 ($15,283 million at June 30, 2018).

DEBT SECURITIES
IFC’s disbursed debt securities portfolio totaled $6,206 million at June 30, 2019 ($5,591 million at June 30, 2018), an increase of $615 million or 11%.
Debt securities accounted for 14% of IFC’s disbursed investment portfolio at June 30, 2019 (14% at June 30, 2018) and 15% of the carrying amount of the investment portfolio at June 30, 2019 (13% at June 30, 2018).
The carrying amount of IFC’s debt securities portfolio (comprising the disbursed debt securities portfolio, together with adjustments as detailed in Note D to IFC’s FY19 consolidated financial statements), increased 13% to $6,349 million at June 30, 2019 ($5,623 million at June 30, 2018) analyzed as follows:
Figure 4: Carrying amount of debt securities portfolio (US$ millions)
chart-1315e77eeaf45319b3d.jpg
The increase in the debt securities portfolio is largely due to new disbursements exceeding repayments ($759 million in FY19), partially offset by reduction in balances outstanding due to currency exchange rate fluctuations ($153 million in FY19).
Additional information on IFC’s investment portfolio as of and for the years ended June 30, 2019, and June 30, 2018, can be found in Notes B, D, E, F, G, H, P and R to IFC’s FY19 consolidated financial statements.
GUARANTEES AND PARTIAL CREDIT GUARANTEES
IFC offers partial credit guarantees to clients covering, on a risk-sharing basis, client obligations on bonds and/or loans. IFC’s guarantee is available for debt instruments and trade obligations of clients and covers commercial as well as noncommercial risks. IFC will provide local currency guarantees, but when a guarantee is called, the client will generally be obligated to reimburse IFC in US dollar terms. Guarantee fees are consistent with IFC’s loan pricing policies.
Guarantees of $2,899 million were outstanding (i.e., not called) at June 30, 2019 ($4,096 million at June 30, 2018).
INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
At the core of IFC’s approach to portfolio management is the aim to build and proactively manage a portfolio that produces strong financial results and development impact. IFC achieves this through a combination of strong presence on the ground and deep sector expertise, that enables IFC to stay close to its clients and markets, monitor trends and anticipate impacts on its portfolio of clients.
In order to provide continued corporate oversight to IFC’s portfolio, the Corporate Portfolio Committee periodically reviews the investment portfolio, looking both at broad trends as well as select individual assets, which are further complemented by monthly focused in-depth discussions of IFC’s key sector and country exposures. Quarterly reviews of IFC’s portfolio results are presented to the Board, along with an in-depth analysis at the end of the Fiscal Year. IFC's investment and portfolio teams, largely based in field offices, complement global reviews with asset-by-asset quarterly assessments, for investments.
At the corporate level, IFC combines the analysis of its portfolio performance with sector expertise and country/region market intelligence, and projections of global macroeconomic and market trends to inform decisions about future investments. IFC also regularly conducts stress tests to assess the performance of the portfolio against possible macroeconomic developments, and to identify and address risks.



 
INTERNATIONAL FINANCE CORPORATION
Page 15



 
 
 

At the asset level, IFC’s multidisciplinary teams, including investment and sector specialists with deep industry expertise, closely monitor investment performance and compliance with investment agreements. IFC does this, among other things, through site visits to evaluate project implementation, and through active engagement with sponsors and government officials, where relevant, to identify potential problems early on and formulate appropriate solutions. IFC also systematically and timely tracks environmental and social performance, and measures financial and development results.
IFC constantly assesses its equity portfolio proactively to identify assets ready for divestments, where IFC’s development role has been completed. This rebalancing of the equity portfolio is the result of an analysis that takes into account market conditions, opportunities, expected returns, and risks, and is adjusted periodically as required. To strengthen this process, IFC has recently appointed Equity Heads of Industry, who provide central oversight particularly of IFC’s larger and more complex equity positions.
For projects in financial distress, IFC’s Special Operations Department determines the appropriate remedial actions. It seeks to keep the project operational to achieve the development impact intended at its onset. It also negotiates agreements with creditors and shareholders to share the burden of restructuring.
Investors and other partners participating in IFC’s operations are kept regularly informed on project developments. IFC consults or seeks their consent as appropriate.
At the core of active portfolio management is the need to have timely and accurate information to drive business decisions. IFC continues to invest in information-technology systems to better support the management of its portfolio, and is in the process of strengthening its portfolio support structure through the creation of the Operations Support Unit at the corporate level, to be further extended to its sector and regional teams.

AMC
AMC is a wholly owned subsidiary of IFC that invests third-party capital and IFC capital, enabling outside investors to benefit from IFC’s expertise in achieving strong equity returns, as well as positive development impact in the countries in which it invests in developing and frontier markets. Investors in funds managed by AMC include sovereign wealth funds, national pension funds, multilateral and bilateral development institutions, national development agencies and international financial institutions (IFIs). AMC helps IFC mobilize additional capital resources for investment in productive private enterprise in developing countries.

On June 27, 2019, the Board approved a proposed change in the legal status of IFC to be implemented by transferring AMC to IFC (by merger or transfer of assets and liabilities) following which AMC will cease to exist as a separate legal entity. This change is not expected to have a significant impact on IFC's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Cumulatively through June 30, 2019, AMC raised total funds of $10.1 billion ($10.1 billion at June 30, 2018).
The Funds Managed by AMC and their activities as of and for the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 are summarized as follows:

ADVISORY SERVICES
It takes more than finance to achieve sustainable development. IFC’s experience shows the powerful role advice can play in unlocking private sector investment, helping businesses to expand and create jobs. IFC’s advisory engagements play an important role in helping to strengthen the WBG’s efforts to end poverty and boost shared prosperity.
To help address increasingly complex development challenges, IFC initiated a holistic approach to create markets and mobilize private investment as articulated in IFC’s Creating Markets strategy. Advisory is critical for IFC’s delivery on this new strategy by bringing together the diverse WBG actions needed to create markets and by focusing on building a pipeline of bankable projects, especially in IDA countries and FCS. Advisory will also continue to deliver proven solutions that support clients to raise their standards and expand their market access, while working to enable sector reform and develop a level playing field in IFC’s client countries.
During FY19, IFC provided advice in key business areas:
Financial Institutions: IFC helps increase the availability and affordability of financial services for individuals and for micro, small, and medium enterprises. IFC works with financial institutions to strengthen their risk management and diversify their product offering in areas such as SMEs, housing finance, and sustainable energy.



 
INTERNATIONAL FINANCE CORPORATION

Manufacturing Agribusiness & Services (MAS): IFC helps clients improve farmer productivity and standards in agribusiness. IFC’s efforts are focused on designing efficient value chains and boosting food security-thereby providing valuable social, economic, and environmental benefits for all stakeholders. MAS helps clients develop clean, affordable, competitive, and high-quality energy and resource efficiency solutions across the value chain. MAS also works to improve manufacturing productivity and increase the efficiency and effectiveness in the healthcare and education sectors.
Infrastructure & Natural Resources: IFC helps both private and sub-sovereign public sector clients to build capacity and mechanisms to become attractive destinations for infrastructure investments. IFC works closely with private sector clients and commercially-run state-owned enterprises to acquire a social license to operate in tough environments by increasing benefits to local communities; mitigating social risks; and addressing obstacles to equality and inclusion in the workplace, across the supply chain. IFC also works with subnational governments to strengthen institutions and regulations; improve critical infrastructure and environmental sustainability; foster skills and innovation; expand access to finance; and build capacity to manage tax and royalty payments to improve community welfare and local content.
Telecoms, Media, Technology, Venture Investing: Provides Advisory Services in two areas: (i) through its SME Ventures program, it supports local first-time fund managers delivering risk capital to SMEs in difficult markets (FCS & Low-Income IDA Countries), and (ii) the Venture Investing unit which focuses on cross-cutting themes across regions and industries for creating markets around disruptive technologies, digitalization, and innovation in emerging markets.
Environment Social & Governance: IFC helps clients conduct business in a sustainable manner and manage risks by promoting sound environmental, social and corporate governance practices.
Transaction Advisory: Provides two types of advisory services: (i) through its Public-Private Partnerships team, it supports national and subnational governments in structuring and procuring private sector partners for Public-Private Partnerships, to improve access to education, energy, transport, healthcare, and sanitation services; and (ii) through its Corporate Finance team, it supports private sector clients in their cross-border mergers and acquisition transactions.
Global Practices: Working in partnership with the World Bank GPs, we support national and local governments to enact and implement reforms to facilitate job creation and growth in our client countries, primarily in the areas of investment climate and development of financial markets.
Other Advisory: IFC also provides advisory solutions that can be deployed across several industries, which include work on climate business, gender and country engagement advisory.
As of June 30, 2019, the IFC Advisory Services Portfolio totaled about $1,529 million ($1,474 million at June 30, 2018). FY19 program expenditures was $295 million ($273 million in FY18) with a strong focus on IFC's strategic priority areas IDA at 59%, FCS at 21%, and Climate Change at 24%, (compared to 57%, 19% and 27% respectively in FY18). This trend is expected to continue going forward, particularly with IFC’s increased utilization of its Creating Markets Advisory Window in support of the creating markets agenda in IDA eligible and fragile countries.

INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO INITIATIVES
MCPP
As of June 30, 2019, eight global investors have committed over $8.1 billion to MCPP; four investors participate exclusively in infrastructure projects, two exclusively in financial institutions, and two others are cross-sectoral. Investors have also approved funding for 155 projects totaling $6.3 billion across 45 countries as of June 30, 2019. IFC will continue to deploy the remaining funds raised as IFC identifies projects that meet investors’ investment criteria.
IDA-PSW
As of June 30, 2019, $578 million of instruments under the IDA-PSW had been approved, of which $358 million related to IFC. Refer to Note X to the FY19 consolidated financial statements for transaction details.
III. LIQUID ASSETS
All liquid assets are managed according to an investment authority approved by the Board of Directors and liquid asset investment guidelines approved by IFC’s Corporate Risk Committee, a subcommittee of IFC’s Management Team.
IFC funds its liquid assets from two sources, borrowings from the market (Funded Liquidity Portfolio) and capital. Liquid assets are managed in a number of portfolios related to these sources.
IFC generally invests its liquid assets in highly rated fixed and floating rate instruments issued by, or unconditionally guaranteed by, governments, government agencies and instrumentalities, multilateral organizations, and high quality corporate issuers; these include ABS and MBS, time deposits, and other unconditional obligations of banks and financial institutions. Diversification across multiple dimensions ensures a favorable risk return profile. IFC manages the individual liquid assets portfolios on an aggregate portfolio basis against each portfolios benchmark within specified risk parameters. In implementing these portfolio management strategies, IFC utilizes derivative instruments, principally currency and interest rate swaps and futures and options, and it takes positions in various industry sectors and countries.
IFC’s liquid assets are accounted for as trading portfolios. The net asset value of the liquid assets portfolio was $39.7 billion at June 30, 2019 ($38.9 billion at June 30, 2018). The increase in FY19 was primarily due to an increase of $2.0 billion in the Net Worth Funded portfolio that reflects investment of cash from equity sales net of new equity investments plus net income from Investment Operations and liquidity management. Funded Liquidity declined by $1.2 billion due to net debt redemptions and net disbursements to clients.
FUNDED LIQUIDITY PORTFOLIO
The primary funding source for liquid assets for IFC is Funded Liquidity. Proceeds of borrowings from market sources not immediately disbursed for loans and loan-like debt securities are managed internally against money market benchmarks. A small portion of Funded Liquidity is managed by third parties with the same benchmark as that managed internally.



 
INTERNATIONAL FINANCE CORPORATION
Page 20



 
 
 

NET WORTH FUNDED PORTFOLIO
The second funding source of liquid assets is that portion of IFC’s net worth not invested in equity and equity-like investments (Net Worth Funded Portfolio) which is managed against a U.S. Treasury benchmark. A portion of these assets are managed by third parties with the same benchmark as that part managed internally.
Income from liquid assets trading activities7 was $1,291 million in FY19, $864 million from the Funded Liquidity Portfolio and $427 million from the Net Worth Funded Portfolio.
IV. FUNDING RESOURCES
IFC’s funding resources (comprising borrowings, capital and retained earnings) as of June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 are as follows:
Figure 5: IFC's Funding Resources (US$ millions)
chart-ec4d24fd6d4156de80d.jpg
BORROWINGS
The major source of IFC’s borrowings is the international capital markets. Under the Articles of Agreement, IFC may borrow in the public markets of a member country only with approvals from that member, together with the member in whose currency the borrowing is denominated.
IFC operates under a General Funding Authorization that authorizes IFC to borrow within the limits of its risk policies without requiring annual authorizations from the Board of the Corporation as to the size of its borrowing program for the subsequent financial year.
IFC’s new medium and long-term borrowings (after the effect of borrowing-related derivatives and including discount notes with maturities greater than three months of $4.7 billion in FY19, $2.5 billion in FY18, and $3.0 billion in FY17) totaled $15.5 billion during FY19 ($16.0 billion in FY18 and $15.4 billion in FY17) reflecting paced implementation of the funding program for FY19 and in consideration of the Corporation's maturing borrowings and net disbursement needs. In addition, the Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase and/or redemption of debt obligations issued by IFC, which enhances the liquidity of IFC’s borrowings. During FY19, IFC repurchased and retired $0.7 billion of outstanding debt ($0.8 billion in FY18 and $2.1 billion in FY17), generating gains on buybacks of $1 million in FY19 ($2 million - FY18 and $2 million - FY17).
IFC diversifies its borrowings by currency, country, source, and maturity to provide flexibility and cost-effectiveness. In FY19 IFC borrowed in 28 currencies and in final maturities ranging from 3 months to 40 years. Borrowings outstanding have a weighted average remaining contractual maturity of 8.2 years at June 30, 2019 (7.4 years at June 30, 2018). Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities due to the existence of call features in certain of IFC’s borrowings.
7 Reported gross of borrowing costs and excluding foreign exchange gains and losses on local currency Funded Liquidity which are reported separately from income from liquid assets trading activities in foreign currency gains and losses on non-trading activities and the effects of internal trades related to foregone swapping of market borrowings and Funded Liquidity in certain currencies.



 
INTERNATIONAL FINANCE CORPORATION

Market borrowings are generally swapped into floating-rate obligations denominated in US dollars. IFC’s mandate to help develop domestic capital markets can result in raising local currency funds. As of June 30, 2019, IFC had gross payables from borrowing-related currency swaps of $26.3 billion ($21.2 billion at June 30, 2018) and from borrowing-related interest rate swaps in the notional principal payable amount of $26.7 billion ($31.2 billion at June 30, 2018). After the effect of these derivative instruments is taken into consideration, 96% of IFC’s market borrowings at June 30, 2019 were variable rate US dollar-denominated (95% - June 30, 2018). The weighted average cost of market borrowings after currency and interest rate swap transactions was 2.8% at June 30, 2019 (2.5% at June 30, 2018). This increase was mainly due to developments in USD funding, where compared to the prior year, US$ six‑month LIBOR rates was higher and IFC’s credit spread on average 5 bps higher in USD.
IFC also uses its borrowings as a tool to promote capital markets development in emerging and frontier markets and this can result in raising local currency funds. Proceeds of these issuances not disbursed into loans have primarily been invested in securities of the related sovereign and sovereign instrumentalities in the currency of the issuances. Borrowings from market sources at June 30, 2019 with no associated interest rate or currency swap amounted to 4% of the total borrowings from market sources (5% at June 30, 2018).
As of June 30, 2019, $2.2 billion ($2.7 billion as of June 30, 2018) of such non-US$ denominated market borrowings were outstanding, denominated in Botswana pula, Chinese renminbi, Costa Rican colon, Dominican peso, Georgian lari, Indian rupee, Indonesian rupiah, Kazakhstan tenge, Namibian dollar, New Romanian lei, New Serbian dinar, Philippine peso, Turkish lira, Ukraine hrivnya and Uzbekistan sum. Proceeds of such borrowings were invested in such local currencies, on-lent to clients and/or partially swapped into US dollars.
IFC has short term discount note programs in US dollar and Chinese renminbi to provide an additional funding and liquidity management tool for IFC in support of certain of IFC’s trade finance and supply chain initiatives and to expand the availability of short term local currency finance. The discount note programs provide for issuances with maturities ranging from overnight to one year. The weighted average cost of discount note borrowing in FY19 was 2.49%, 11 basis points more than the average Fed Funds rates in FY19. During FY19, IFC issued $14.2 billion of discount notes and $2.2 billion were outstanding as of June 30, 2019 under the short-term discount note programs.

DESIGNATIONS OF RETAINED EARNINGS
Amounts available to be designated are determined based on a Board of Directors-approved income-based formula and, beginning in FY08, on a principles-based Board of Directors-approved financial distribution policy, and are approved by the Board of Directors.
IFC’s Board of Directors approved a change to the sliding-scale formula and the methodology used for calculating the incremental rate of designation, beginning with the designation in respect of FY17. The revised approach establishes a threshold that no designations of any kind can take place if IFC’s Deployable Strategic Capital (DSC) ratio is below 2%, and establishes a framework for prioritizing future designations to Advisory Services and for grants to IDA based on IFC’s DSC ratio and a cushion for Advisory Services. IFC has also created a new mechanism that was funded for the first time in FY18, the Creating Markets Advisory Window (CMAW), to focus on market creation in eligible IDA countries and fragile and conflict situations.
The revised approach establishes a maximum cumulative amount that can be contributed to IDA, during the IDA 18 Replenishment, of $300 million, with no more than $100 million in any given year (plus any shortfall from earlier years).
The approach also caps grants to IDA during a fiscal year at IFC’s Net Income, if any, for the nine months ended March 31 of that fiscal year with actual transfer to occur in June of that fiscal year. Any amounts designated the prior year and not transferred pursuant to this requirement would be deferred to the next fiscal year. Grants to IDA will also be deferred to the next fiscal year if capital as reported on IFC’s consolidated balance sheet has declined between June 30 of the prior fiscal year and March 31 of that fiscal year.
IFC recognizes designations of retained earnings for Advisory Services when the Board of Directors approves it and recognizes designation of retained earnings for grants to IDA when it is noted with approval by the Board of Governors. Expenditures for the various approved designations are recorded as expenses in IFC’s consolidated income statement in the period in which they occur, and have the effect of reducing retained earnings designated for this specific purpose.
FY18 DESIGNATIONS
Income available for designations in FY18 (a non-GAAP measure) totaled $1,318 million. On August 9, 2018, the Board of Directors approved a designation of $70 million of IFC’s retained earnings for CMAW, $45 million of IFC’s retained earnings for Advisory Services, and, subject to the conditions detailed above, a designation of up to $115 million of IFC’s retained earnings for grants to IDA. These designations were noted with approval by the Board of Governors on October 12, 2018. IFC did not recognize expenditures against designations for grants to IDA in FY19 and the transfer was deferred to next fiscal year due to IFC's net loss for the first nine months ended March 31, 2019.
FY19 DESIGNATIONS
Income available for designations in FY19 (a non-GAAP measure) totaled $909 million, as calculated under accounting standards for equity investments in effect prior to July 1, 2018 which formed the basis of IFC’s revised approach to designations and sliding scale formula approved in FY17, and is consistent with IFC’s designations from FY17 and FY18 net income. Given the CMAW spending cushion at FY19-end, IFC will not make an additional designation in FY19 and expects to continue to make designations in future years as allowed by IFC’s net income and as CMAW spending ramps up. Based on the Board-approved distribution policy outlined above, the maximum amount available for designation was $122 million. On August 8, 2019, the Board of Directors approved a designation of $24 million of IFC’s retained earnings for Advisory Services, and, subject to the conditions detailed above, a designation of $98 million of IFC’s retained earnings for grants to IDA. These designations are expected to be noted with approval by the Board of Governors, and subject to the above conditions, concluded in FY20.
DEPLOYABLE STRATEGIC CAPITAL
IFC’s Capital Adequacy, as measured by DSC ratio was 11.6% at June 30, 2019, higher than 8.7% at June 30, 2018. Of the 2.9 percentage points (pp) increase in the DSC, +0.3 pp is due to the adoption of ASU 2016-01, +3.7 pp is primarily due to the change in the carrying value of the equity investment portfolio, and -1.1 pp is due to the increase in the underfunded status of the pension plan.

V. RISK MANAGEMENT    
ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENT
IFC provides long-term investments and advisory services to the private sector in emerging markets and is therefore exposed to a range of potential financial and non-financial impacts. Active monitoring and sound management of evolving risks remain critical pillars in terms of fulfilling IFC’s mission.
ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK
IFC’s enterprise risk management framework (ERM) is designed to enable the prudent management of financial and reputational impacts that originate from the Corporation’s business activities. In this context, IFC’s risk management efforts are designed specifically to help align the Corporation’s performance with its strategic direction. The ERM framework that IFC adopted in the year ended June 30, 2014 remains aligned with industry standards and is designed to underpin IFC's response to risk by defining:
IFC's core risk management principles;
A common risk taxonomy for use across the organization, to help ensure that risk management efforts are coordinated and aligned across the distinct parts of the organization that share responsibility for managing different aspects of risk;
A standard classification of roles and responsibilities for risk management, to differentiate and thereby clarify how different parts of the Corporation contribute towards the overall management of risk;
How emerging and evolving risks are identified, defined, monitored and managed; and
The structures, processes and methods that are necessary to put active risk management into practice.
KEY RISK MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES
The key principles that continue to inform IFC’s ERM Framework are:
Maximizing development impact while maintaining financial sustainability within specified tolerances;
Ensuring that business decisions are based on a thorough understanding of risks and that risks and rewards are balanced appropriately;
Being disciplined and selective in undertaking activities that could cause significant adverse reputational impact; and
Sharing responsibility for risk management across the Corporation.
The ERM Framework comprises several components, each addressing a specific issue within the Framework. These components are dynamic in nature and reflect the fact that IFC’s risk management evolution is a continual, iterative and interconnected effort.
The ERM Framework is depicted as follows:
Figure 6: IFC's Enterprise Risk Management Framework
ifcfy17annualmdaandfs_image6.jpg



 
INTERNATIONAL FINANCE CORPORATION
Page 24



 
 
 

Risk Culture - Starting with IFC’s senior management, building the right risk culture instills behaviors that are integral to the success of ERM.
Risk Coverage - IFC’s risk profile is assessed across five classes of risk, namely credit, market, operational, liquidity and business risks. Each of these is addressed in this section.
Risk Appetite - A comprehensive set of explicit risk appetite statements, with associated metrics, provides a consistent and integrated basis for making decisions that impact IFC’s risk profile, while monitoring IFC’s risk exposures, and taking remedial action when risk tolerances are threatened or exceeded.
Risk Governance and Policies - IFC’s risk governance structure is based on the industry-standard principle of “three lines of defense”.
IFC’s first line of defense is line management, consisting of frontline decision makers on individual projects and transactions. The second line of defense is, collectively, the Management Team, its committees and IFC’s independent risk management functions. Independent oversight bodies, together with the Board of Directors, serve as the third line of defense. These independent oversight bodies are:
The Independent Evaluation Group, which assesses the alignment between projected and realized outcomes of IFC’s investment and advisory projects undertaken with its clients;
The Compliance Advisor/Ombudsman, which is the independent recourse mechanism for IFC’s stakeholders, responding to complaints from project-affected communities with the goal of enhancing social and environmental outcomes on the ground;
The World Bank Group’s Internal Audit Vice Presidency, which evaluates the effectiveness of the organization’s governance, risk management, and control processes; and
The Integrity Vice-Presidency, which investigates and pursues sanctions related to allegations of fraud and corruption in World Bank Group-financed activities.
IFC’s risk management policies define the types and amounts of risk that IFC’s Management Team is willing to assume, via delegated authority from the Board.
Risk Data and Infrastructure - Source data is collected, integrated and analyzed to support decision-making across the Corporation.
Measurement and Evaluation - IFC uses a combination of quantitative and qualitative metrics to manage its risk profile. Key metrics for each category of risk are discussed later in this section.
Control Environment - Management relies on internal controls, modelled on the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) Framework, to reduce the level of financial reporting risk to an acceptable level.
Risk Response - Risks are analyzed and monitored by IFC’s risk oversight units and the Corporate Risk Committee, a subcommittee of IFC’s Management Team, which meets frequently to discuss and decide upon enterprise-level risk issues.
Stress Testing - IFC-wide stress testing provides Management with an additional tool to inform capital management and decision making. The testing involves multi-year projections of IFC’s financial performance and capital adequacy under base case and stressed macroeconomic scenarios.
ENTERPRISE LEVEL RISK APPETITE
IFC has developed risk appetite statements which set the direction for the Corporation’s willingness to take risks in fulfilment of its development goals. These statements reflect the Corporation’s core values of maximizing development impact, preserving its financial sustainability and safeguarding its reputation.
At the strategic level, IFC has adopted the following risk appetite statements:
Developmental Impact: IFC will maximize developmental impact by focusing on the World Bank Group’s twin goals of addressing extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity, while maintaining financial sustainability and safeguarding its brand.
Financial Sustainability: IFC will generate and maintain sufficient financial resources, conduct its business and manage risks consistent with standards implied by a triple-A rating.
Safeguarding Reputation: In determining what engagement and activities to pursue, IFC will assess whether any potential adverse impact to its reputation is balanced by the potential development impact.

IFC applies a rigorous ex-ante and ex-post impact assessment framework (Anticipated Impact Measurement and Monitoring, AIMM) under which projects are scored, incentives are set and trade-offs managed on a portfolio basis.



 
INTERNATIONAL FINANCE CORPORATION
Page 25



 
 
 

From a financial sustainability perspective, the capital required to maintain a triple-A rating is assessed using an economic capital framework, which is the foundation of financial risk management at IFC. Economic capital acts as a “common currency of risk” across the organization, providing IFC with an objective, quantifiable measure of risk that can be applied consistently across business lines, products, regions and sectors. IFC holds economic capital for credit, market and operational risks. The primary measure of capital adequacy is DSC, which is the capital available to support future commitments over and above the current portfolio plus an additional capital buffer.
IFC conforms to key financial policies approved by its Board of Directors, as detailed below:
Capital Adequacy Policy - IFC is required to maintain a minimum level of total resources (including paid-in capital, total loss reserves and retained earnings, net of designations) equal to total potential losses for all on- and off-balance sheet exposures estimated at levels consistent with maintaining a triple-A rating.
Leverage Policy - IFC’s outstanding debt plus guarantees held must not exceed four times its net worth.
Overall Liquidity Policy - Minimum liquidity (liquid assets plus undrawn borrowing commitments from IBRD) must be sufficient at all times to cover at least 45% of IFC’s estimated net cash requirements for the next three years.
Matched Funding Policy - Loans are funded with liabilities that have similar characteristics in terms of interest rate basis, currency, and duration, except for new products, approved by the Board of Directors, involving asset-liability mismatches.
In order to safeguard its reputation, IFC pays close attention to potential adverse reputational impacts which may exceed its risk tolerance, as negative perceptions of IFC held by stakeholders or the general public may ultimately impact IFCs ability to carry out business effectively. In determining which engagements and activities to pursue, IFC assesses whether any identified potential adverse impact to its reputation is balanced by the project’s or program’s potential development impact and financial returns.
One of the key forward-looking tools used by IFC for promoting its brand and managing reputational impact is effective communication. Communication activities are coordinated by the IFC’s Partnerships, Communications & Outreach Vice Presidency. This unit provides advice on strategic and crisis communications for managing potential and actual reputational impacts at both the corporate and project levels, throughout the project life cycle. It is also responsible for external and internal communications, campaigns, civil society engagement, brand marketing, and web, social, and other media. It collaborates across IFC and works in conjunction with other WBG entities to develop and implement effective communications strategies that strengthen the IFC brand.
TREASURY RISK MANAGEMENT
Treasury risks are managed through a two-tier risk framework: (1) a comprehensive policy framework and (2) an economic capital limit for treasury activities. The policy framework is based on four principles:
Investment in high quality assets;
Diversification via position size/concentration limits;
Limits on market risks (credit spread, interest rate and foreign exchange risk); and
Proactive portfolio surveillance.
In line with regulatory changes in global financial markets, IFC enhanced its Treasury risk management framework in FY19, including management of funding and liquidity risks.
CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT
DEFINITION AND SCOPE OF CREDIT RISK
IFC defines credit risk as the risk of loss of principal or loss of an expected financial return due to credit events such as a default or downgrade in credit ratings or any other failure to meet a contractual obligation that results in financial loss. IFC is exposed to credit risk in its loan portfolio and in the form of counterparty credit risk in its Treasury portfolios.
INVESTMENT OPERATIONS
Credit risk in investment projects is actively managed throughout the project life cycle. Investment teams are responsible for gathering the necessary information from the client and other relevant stakeholders to verify the financial viability of each project, and for assigning a credit rating (CR) at defined stages in the project approval process. The CR, the investment size, the product type and other project-related risks determine the authority level required for the approval of each transaction. All projects are subject to independent credit assessment by a credit officer within the independent Risk and Financial Sustainability Vice Presidency and who participates in the project approval process. Projects are approved with reference to a number of operational and prudential limits approved by the Corporate Risk Committee, including limits related to single project or client exposure, single country exposure, and sector concentration; these are detailed below:
IFC’s total exposure to a country, for the purpose of setting exposure limits, is measured as the amount of economic capital required to support its investment portfolio in that country. Exposure limits are set for each country based on the size of its economy and its risk rating. Sub-limits apply for certain sector exposures within a country.



 
INTERNATIONAL FINANCE CORPORATION

IFC’s total exposure to a single client or client group may not exceed stipulated economic capital and nominal limits based on the Credit Rating for the client.
Individual Investment Limits are applied at the individual project or client level to prevent excessive concentrations.
Preferential debt exposure to a country is limited by reference to that country’s total medium and long-term external debt.
IFC’s total equity and quasi-equity exposure (outstanding exposure net of impairments) shall not exceed IFC’s net worth.

IFC’s investment projects are actively supervised after commitment. CRs are reviewed regularly for each project, with frequency depending on the level of Credit Rating assigned, and revised if new material information is received. In addition, an independent risk management team in the Risk & Finance Vice Presidency regularly assesses IFC’s portfolio, including stress testing of exposure to emerging risks. Additionally, the Corporate Portfolio Department, as part of the COO’s Vice Presidency, regularly reports to the Corporate Portfolio Committee on the performance of the overall debt and equity portfolio, and performs deep dives on selected top country and sector exposures. When projects show signs of financial distress, immediate attention is key for improving potential outcomes. Seasoned “workout” professionals from IFC’s Department of Special Operations in the Risk & Finance Vice Presidency focus on projects, to implement the restructuring, or possible recovery, of IFC’s exposure.
The credit risk of loans is quantified in terms of the probability of default, loss given default and exposure at risk. These risk parameters are used to determine risk-based economic capital for capital adequacy, capital allocation and internal risk management purposes, as well as for setting the general reserve against losses on loans and exposure limits.
TREASURY OPERATIONS
IFC manages its exposures to counterparties in its Treasury operations to mitigate potential losses from the failure by a counterparty to fulfill its contractual obligations. Counterparty eligibility criteria are set by Authorizations from the Board of Directors and by Directives approved by IFC’s Corporate Risk Committee. Eligible counterparties are predominantly banks and financial institutions with high quality credit ratings issued by leading international credit rating agencies.
Details of applicable financial policies and guidelines are given below:
Counterparties are selected based on standard eligibility criteria, with a tenor limit for deposits and repurchase agreements.
Counterparties for derivative instruments are generally restricted to banks and financial institutions with high quality credit ratings from leading international credit rating agencies; for the sole purpose of funding local currency loans, eligibility is extended to central banks and select local banks.
Exposures to individual counterparties are subject to exposure limits. For derivatives, exposure is measured in terms of total potential future exposure based on replacement cost.
IFC signs collateral agreements with counterparties that require the posting of collateral when net mark-to-market exposures exceed certain predetermined thresholds.
For exchange-traded instruments, credit risk is limited by restricting transactions to a list of authorized exchanges, contracts and dealers, and by placing limits on IFC’s position in each contract.

TREASURY OPERATIONS
Treasury operations counterparties remain well diversified by sector and geography. In accordance with its agreements with counterparties, at June 30, 2019, IFC held $178 million in cash and $162 million in securities as collateral for changes in mark-to-market exposures on open trades ($236 million in cash and $231 million in securities – June 30, 2018).
MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT
DEFINITION AND SCOPE OF MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk of losses in positions arising from movements in market prices. IFC’s exposure to market risk is mitigated by its matched funding policy, whereby it uses derivative instruments to convert loans funded from market borrowings, and the market borrowings themselves, into floating rate US dollar assets and liabilities with similar duration. Similarly, market risk resulting from derivative transactions with clients, to facilitate clients’ risk management, is typically mitigated by entering into offsetting positions with highly rated market counterparties. IFC’s residual exposure to market risk arises primarily from its listed and unlisted equity investments in emerging markets, from its Treasury liquid asset portfolios, and also from its aggregate asset and liability management positions.
EQUITY INVESTMENTS
The risk of loss in value of IFC’s emerging markets equity investments is mitigated primarily by applying the same limits framework, decision making process and portfolio management methods as described above for its lending operations. IFC has a multi-year horizon for its equity investments and accepts short term price volatility of these investments, which can be significant.
LIQUID ASSET PORTFOLIOS
Market risk in IFC’s liquid assets portfolios is managed to the chosen risk profile of the respective portfolio benchmarks, using derivative and other financial instruments such as over-the-counter foreign exchange forward agreements, interest rate and currency swaps, and exchange-traded interest rate futures and options. Overall market risk exposure is also subject to daily monitoring, based on Directives approved by the Corporate Risk Committee, which limit interest rate, credit spread, and foreign exchange risk.
ASSET-LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
While IFC’s matched-funding policy helps mitigate currency and interest rate risk, IFC is still exposed to residual market risks in the market borrowings-funded portion of the balance sheet. Residual currency risk arises from factors such as changes in the level of reserves for losses on non-US dollar loans. The aggregate position in each lending currency is monitored and the risk is managed within a range of +/- $5 million equivalent in each currency. Residual interest rate risk may arise from differing interest rate reset dates on assets and liabilities, or from assets that are fully match-funded at inception, but become mismatched over time due to write-downs, prepayments, or rescheduling. The residual interest rate risk is managed by measuring the sensitivity of the present value of assets and liabilities in each currency to a one basis point change in interest rates and managing exposures to within a potential change in value of +/- $50,000.

FY19 MARKET RISK COMMENTARY
The London Interbank Offered Rate, better known as LIBOR, is set to be phased out after 2021. The risks related to this transition include valuation risk that may arise due to the lack of alternative reference rates, operational risks and related system upgrades, and potential impact on financial reporting.
LIBOR impacts almost all parts of IFC’s balance sheet, including funding, loans, liquid assets, and derivative transactions that are used for hedging purposes. Changes will impact both of IFC’s current portfolios as well as new business. Transitioning out of LIBOR requires changes to IFC’s risk and valuation models, product designs, IT systems, financial reporting, and hedging strategies.
Given the uncertainties involved, IFC is actively participating in industry working groups, and collaborating with stakeholders to prepare for the change. IFC has created a cross-functional taskforce to prepare for transition as new reference rates develop.
LIQUID ASSET PORTFOLIOS
IFC’s liquid asset portfolios have short-tenor benchmarks and deviations from those benchmarks are typically small. FY19 saw increased volatility in US Treasuries, but this was partially offset by lower credit spread exposure. In addition, the liquid asset portfolios reduced risk exposure to more capital-intensive sectors such as securitized products and increased risk exposure to less capital-intensive sectors. Interest rate, foreign exchange, and credit spread risks were controlled on a daily basis using a system of limits monitored to ensure ongoing compliance during FY19.
EQUITY INVESTMENTS
Both emerging and developed markets started the fiscal year with a steep decline driven primarily by increasing interest rates.  After December, markets staged a strong rally as expectations of further rate increases were first moderated and then turned into expectations of rate decreases.  US markets reached all-time highs, while emerging markets rose 2% for the fiscal year, not quite reaching the record highs from January 2018. Oil prices were positively correlated with equity markets though traded down $16/barrel for the year to end at $58/barrel. Overall, commodities declined (the Bloomberg Commodity Index was down 9%), but gold prices rose, in particular during June as the market priced in future interest rate cuts and closed up 12% for the year. The US dollar initially rallied vs a basket of emerging market currencies (the JP Morgan Emerging Market Currency Index), though the gains were partially reversed later in the year with interest hikes on hold and the US dollar ended up 3% for the year. IFC continues to focus on selectivity, as well as active management of its portfolio through close monitoring, portfolio reviews and oversight.  Active management enabled the Corporation to continue its judicious divestitures in FY19 and take advantage of market opportunities to generate significant realized gains from its mature exposures.
LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT
IFC defines liquidity risk as the risk of a financial loss arising from the inability to liquidate financial assets or to raise additional funds in the expected time frame to meet contractual obligations. IFC faces liquidity risk in its core development finance activities because its investments are predominantly illiquid in nature, due to the lack of capital flows, the infrequency of transactions, and the lack of price transparency in many emerging markets. To offset this risk, IFC maintains appropriate liquid asset portfolios funded from its net worth and market borrowings.
LIQUID ASSET PORTFOLIOS
Liquidity risk in the liquid asset portfolios is addressed by strict eligibility criteria defined in Directives approved by the Corporate Risk Committee. Examples include minimum sizes for bond issuances, and limits on single bond issue concentration and on the percentage of total bond issuance held by IFC. Consequently, a significant portion of the liquid asset portfolio is invested in highly liquid securities such as high-quality sovereign, sovereign-guaranteed, and supranational fixed income instruments. IFC expects to continue to be able to realize these assets as needed to meet its cash requirements, even in a liquidity crisis. These Directives were reviewed and enhanced in FY19 with changes made to align with common industry practices.
FUNDING
IFC’s funding operations ensure that IFC has the funds it needs for its lending operations, and that it has sufficient liquidity to safeguard its triple-A rating and fulfill IFC’s counter-cyclical role. IFC is able to access a variety of funding markets, including the US dollar market, Pounds sterling market and the Australian dollar market as well as private placement and retail markets. IFC’s discount note program complements IFC's traditional funding sources by providing swift access to funded liquidity. IFC’s triple-A rating is critical to the Corporation’s ability to maintain its low cost of funds. Regular issuance in a variety of markets serves to sustain investor confidence and maintain a diversified investor base.

FY19 LIQUIDITY RISK COMMENTARY
On June 30, 2019, IFC’s liquid asset portfolios totaled $39.7 billion (June 30, 2018 - $38.9 billion). The Corporation’s overall liquidity coverage ratio as a percentage of next three years’ estimated net cash needs stood at 104%, above the minimum requirement of 45%. During FY19, IFC raised $15.5 billion in market borrowings, net of derivatives (FY18 - $16.0 billion). The outstanding balance under the Short-term Discount Note Program at June 30, 2019 was $2.2 billion (June 30, 2018 - $2.3 billion). In FY19, IFC’s funding costs vs US dollar 6 month LIBOR increased slightly when compared with FY18 due to the increase in the weighted average maturity of the FY19 funding program.
OPERATIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Consistent with the Basel Framework, IFC defines operational risk as the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems, or from external events and holds economic capital against such risks. Given IFC’s business model, both financial and non-financial potential impacts are considered in assessment of risks.
IFC’s Operational Risk Management (ORM) program conforms to a Directive approved by the Corporate Risk Committee (CRC), which defines the management of, and roles and responsibilities for, operational risk management in the Corporation. IFC’s ORM approach is designed to ensure that operational risks are identified, assessed, and managed to enable senior management to determine which risks IFC will accept, mitigate or transfer. IFC seeks to manage key risks by maintaining a comprehensive set of business processes and internal controls.
IFC utilizes risk transfer mechanisms, including insurance, at both the project and the institutional levels for mitigation of low probability/frequency and high impact operational risks. IFC identifies and evaluates operational risks from a standard likelihood-potential impact approach, determines available contractual transfer and insurance options to bring residual risk within tolerance, implements the recommended/approved structuring of that risk, and tracks its effectiveness over time. IFC insures its corporate assets and operations against catastrophic losses where commercially viable.
FY19 OPERATIONAL RISK COMMENTARY
IFC continues to develop and implement enhanced methodologies to identify, measure, monitor and manage material operational risks in its key activities. IFC has an enterprise-level approach to assess risk and continues to develop this methodology for operational risk.
IFC therefore periodically assesses operational risks in the processes that support IFC’s key business pillars, namely, equity, debt and treasury products, as well as advisory services and provides a quarterly ORM report to CRC and a summarized version to the Audit Committee, also on a quarterly basis. IFC also continues to focus on its preparedness to react to significant events that could disrupt its normal operations through the Business Continuity Management program, which covers critical business processes across all IFC offices.
In common with both private-sector financial institutions and its IFI peers, IFC continues to face an increasingly challenging cyber risk environment, including a higher active threat context and increasingly demanding compliance expectations. Accordingly, IFC is continually assessing its cybersecurity stance in line with financial services industry expectations and practices, including risk governance processes and enhanced data incident response practices. Risks arising from third party relationships, including vendors, are also experiencing increased levels of scrutiny and oversight.
None of the issues described above is unique to IFC specifically, or even IFIs generally, but represent key emerging sources of potential financial and reputational impacts for the Corporation in the medium term.
BUSINESS RISK MANAGEMENT
DEFINITION AND SCOPE OF BUSINESS RISK
Business risk is risk that is specific to IFC given its mission and strategy and that is not covered by other risk dimensions. It has the following components, which are described in the paragraphs below together with the specific risk mitigation measures that are adopted: environment and social; corporate governance; integrity; anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT); use of offshore financial centers (OFCs) and related tax good governance practices; data access, security and privacy; management of operational conflict of interest; management of policies & procedures framework; and risks associated with external financing.
ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIAL RISK
Environment and social (E&S) risk is the risk that IFC does not effectively engage and influence clients to fulfill the requirements of the Performance Standards on Environmental and Social Sustainability, potentially causing harm to people or the environment. The Performance Standards form part of IFC’s Sustainability Framework, articulating the Corporation's strategic commitment to sustainable development:
The Performance Standards guide clients on sustainable business practices, including continually identifying and managing risks through: analytical work such as environmental and social assessments; stakeholder engagement; and client disclosure obligations in relation to project-level activities.
The Policy on Environmental and Social Sustainability describes IFC's commitments, roles and responsibilities in relation to environmental and social sustainability.



 
INTERNATIONAL FINANCE CORPORATION
Page 30



 
 
 

IFC's Access to Information Policy reflects the Corporation’s commitment to transparency and good governance and outlines institutional disclosure obligations.
IFC uses the Sustainability Framework along with other strategies, policies and initiatives to focus business activities on achieving the Corporation’s development objectives. All project teams are required to record expectations of development outcomes with time-bound targets using standard indicators. These indicators are tracked and performance is rated on an annual basis for the duration of every project.
Figure 8 on page 31 shows the historic Environmental and Social Risk Rating (ESRR) distribution by fiscal year. This distribution depicts a broad E&S risk profile of our portfolio. There was a measurable improvement in the last four fiscal years.
DATA PRIVACY
IFC has adopted a data privacy policy reflecting global practices, including appropriate procedural and technical standards, which is expected to be implemented over the next few years. Key risk management concerns include (a) heightened privacy and confidential information requirements; and (b) heightened cyber risk governance expectations overall, including effective information governance.
CLIENT CORPORATE GOVERNANCE RISK
Corporate governance risk is the risk that IFC’s clients have inefficient or ineffective corporate governance practices, leading to adverse reputational or financial impact on IFC. IFC manages corporate governance risk primarily by conducting a structured evaluation of every new investment project, covering the following five areas:
Effectiveness of the Board of Directors;
Sufficiency of internal controls, audit, risk management and compliance governance;
Adequacy of financial and non-financial disclosures;
Adequacy of shareholders’ rights; and
Demonstration of the client’s commitment to implement high quality corporate governance policies and practices.
The findings from these assessments are considered in the decision on whether to proceed with the project.
INTEGRITY RISK
Integrity risk is the risk of engaging with external institutions or persons whose background or activities may have adverse reputational and/or financial impact on IFC. IFC works with a wide range of partners in both Investment Operations and Advisory Services, from multi‑national to small companies, and from government institutions to non-governmental organizations. Thus, each transaction or service opportunity presents unique integrity risks, affected by different factors, including the type of engagement, financial instrument, structure, and duration of the engagement. IFC has developed procedures for conducting Integrity Due Diligence and these are used to:
Uncover integrity risk issues related to a prospective project or engagement and the institutions and persons involved;
Evaluate and assess integrity risks, including deciding on how to mitigate and whether to accept the risks, and determining next steps, which may include escalation to IFC senior management and Board approval;
Appropriately classify integrity risks; and
Monitor integrity risks throughout the life of the project or engagement.
IFC conducts AML/CFT due diligence on financial institution clients to determine whether the client has arrangements to ensure that:
Client AML/CFT procedures and controls are in compliance with relevant national AML/CFT laws and regulations;
AML/CFT procedures and controls are appropriate for the client’s business and operating environments; and
Implementation of the client’s AML/CFT controls is effective.
IFC is required to have “due regard” for sanctions adopted by the UN Security Council. As such, IFC has developed a screening process designed to prevent IFC from entering into business relationships with entities or individuals sanctioned by the UN and also generally requires its business partners not to violate UN sanctions or conduct certain types of business related to IFC financings, with UN sanctioned entities and persons. As an international organization, IFC is not required to comply with the national sanctions regimes of individual member countries. However, as part of its overall risk assessment of a specific transaction, IFC screens relevant parties for risks that may arise from various national sanctions regimes.
IFC has also developed procedures for analyzing the use of OFCs by clients and sponsors and related tax good governance practices by:
Determining whether an OFC is eligible to serve as an intermediary jurisdiction for a project by referencing the Global Forum’s published peer reviews (which provides a broad international perspective); and



 
INTERNATIONAL FINANCE CORPORATION

Requiring the client to provide information to support the determination that the project’s corporate structure is legitimate and has not been designed for tax evasion/abuse or other illegitimate purposes. 
OPERATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST RISK
Operational conflicts of interest can arise when IFC acts in the interests of more than one party, where the interests of those parties might be, or might be perceived to be, inconsistent. Given the nature and scope of products and services that IFC provides to its clients in furtherance of its development mandate, and the different roles played by other World Bank Group entities, actual or perceived operational conflicts of interest can arise in the normal course of its activities.  IFC recognizes that adverse legal, reputational, client relationship and other implications may arise if such conflicts are not managed. IFC has implemented policies and procedures to manage these risks.
EXTERNAL FINANCING RISK
As well as using its own resources to invest in and provide advice to clients, IFC raises additional funds from public and private sector institutional investors, lenders and donors through several different mechanisms. External financing risk is the risk that when entrusted with oversight of such funds, IFC does not meet its contractual obligations to the third parties involved.
To mitigate this risk, IFC works within agreed frameworks which establish IFC's responsibilities and obligations with respect to the third parties. For example, where financing to clients is mobilized through B Loans or MCPP, the specialized Syndications Department follows defined processes to identify co-financiers, advise on structuring, and monitor compliance with investment agreements. In some cases, financing from third parties, including donors, is administered through trust funds. IFC follows predefined procedures for clearing all IFC trust fund proposals and agreements and overseeing IFC's trust fund portfolio. Finally, AMC, the asset management arm of IFC, has an independent governance process to make decisions for the benefit of common investors in AMC-managed funds and AMC compliance matters are subject to oversight by the Business Risk and Compliance Department (CBR).
FY19 BUSINESS RISK COMMENTARY
Focused supervision efforts in the last four fiscal years have improved the E&S risk profile of IFC’s investment portfolio by reducing the number of poorly performing projects, defined as a historical ESRR of 3 and 4. The ESRR evaluates a client’s management of E&S risks and avoidance and control of adverse outcomes.
Figure 8: ESSR Distribution FY12-FY19

chart-85498236ebf6551ea84.jpg
ESRR distribution scale: 1) Excellent, 2) Satisfactory, 3) Partly Unsatisfactory, 4) Unsatisfactory. The score is calculated at appraisal as a baseline, and is then updated after each supervision activity.

During FY19, IFC’s CBR enhanced and expanded IFC’s approach to addressing non-financial risks relating to IFC’s operational, advisory and corporate functions, in particular, integrity, AML/CFT, economic sanctions, World Bank Group sanctions and debarment; use of OFCs by clients and sponsors and related tax behaviors and practices; market conduct and mobilization of third party capital; handling of material non-public information; management of operational conflicts of interest; data access, security and privacy; and nominee directorship compliance matters. CBR sets business standards related to and assists business and project teams in the management of such risks and has implemented policies and procedures to manage these risks.
VI. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
IFC’s significant accounting policies, as well as estimates made by Management, are integral to its financial reporting. While all of these policies require a certain level of judgment and estimates, significant policies require Management to make highly difficult, complex, and subjective judgments as these relate to matters inherently uncertain and susceptible to change. Note A to IFC’s FY19 consolidated financial statements contain a summary of IFC’s significant accounting policies, including a discussion of recently adopted accounting standards and accounting and financial reporting developments. Certain of these policies are considered to be “critical” to the portrayal of IFC’s financial condition and results of operations, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain.
These policies include:
Determining the fair value of equity investments, debt securities, loans, liquid assets, borrowings and derivatives, which have no quoted market prices and are accounted for at fair value;
Determining the level of reserves against losses in the loan portfolio;
Determining the level and nature of impairment for debt securities carried at fair value with changes in fair value being reported in other comprehensive income (OCI)8; and
Determining the future pension and postretirement benefit costs and obligations using actuarial assumptions based on financial market interest rates, past experience, and management’s best estimate of future benefit cost changes and economic conditions.
Many of IFC’s financial instruments are classified in accordance with the fair value hierarchy established by accounting standards for fair value measurements and disclosures where the fair value and/or impairment is estimated based on internally developed models or methodologies utilizing significant inputs that are non-observable.
VALUATION OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH NO QUOTED MARKET PRICES
IFC reports at fair value all of its derivative instruments, liquid asset trading securities, equity investments, investments in debt securities and certain borrowings, and loans. In addition, various investment agreements contain embedded or stand-alone derivatives that, for accounting purposes, are separately accounted as either derivative assets or liabilities. IFC classifies all financial instruments accounted for at fair value based on the fair value hierarchy established by accounting standards for fair value measurements and disclosures as described in more detail in Notes A and R to IFC’s FY19 consolidated financial statements.
Effective July 1, 2018, upon the adoption of ASU 2016-01, the change in fair value of borrowings carried at fair value resulting from changes in instrument-specific credit risk is reported in OCI, while the remaining change in fair value is reported in Net Income.
Many of IFC’s financial instruments accounted for at fair value are valued based on unadjusted quoted market prices or using models where the significant assumptions and inputs are market-observable. The fair values of financial instruments valued using models where the significant assumptions and inputs are not market-observable are generally estimated using complex pricing models of the net present value of estimated future cash flows. Management makes numerous assumptions in developing pricing models, including an assessment about the counterparty’s financial position and prospects, the appropriate discount rates, interest rates, and related volatility and expected movement in foreign currency exchange rates. Changes in assumptions could have a significant impact on the amounts reported as assets and liabilities and the related unrealized gains and losses reported in the income statement and OCI. The fair value computations affect both the Investment services and Treasury segments of IFC (see Note S to the FY19 consolidated financial statements for further discussion of IFC’s business segments).
8 Prior to July 1, 2019 and the adoption of ASU 2016-01, the accounting policy also covered equity investments carried at fair value with changes in fair value being reported in OCI and equity investments accounted for at cost less impairment

RESERVE AGAINST LOSSES ON LOANS
IFC considers a loan as impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that IFC will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the loan’s contractual terms. Reserves against losses are established through a review of individual loans undertaken on a quarterly basis. Information and events, with respect to the borrower and/or the economic and political environment in which it operates, considered in determining that a loan is impaired include, but are not limited to, the borrower’s financial difficulties, breach of contract, bankruptcy/reorganization, credit rating downgrade as well as geopolitical conflict, financial/economic crisis, commodity price decline, adverse local government action and natural disaster. The reserve against losses for loans also includes an estimate of probable losses on loans inherent in the portfolio but not specifically identifiable. Unidentified probable losses are the losses incurred at the reporting date that have not yet been specifically identified. The risks inherent in the portfolio that are considered in determining unidentified probable losses are those proven to exist by past experience and include: country systemic risk; the risk of correlation or contagion of losses between markets; uninsured and uninsurable risks; nonperformance under guarantees and support agreements; and opacity of, or misrepresentation in, financial statements. The reserve against losses on loans is established through periodic charges to income in the form of a provision for losses on loans. Loans written off, as well as any subsequent recoveries, are recorded through the reserve.
The reserve against losses on loans is separately reported in the consolidated balance sheet as a reduction of IFC’s total loans. Increases or decreases in the reserve level are reported in the income statement as provision for losses or release of provision for losses on loans, and guarantees. The reserve against losses on loans relates only to the Investment services segment of IFC (see Note S to the FY19 consolidated financial statements for further discussion of IFC’s business segments).
OTHER-THAN-TEMPORARY IMPAIRMENTS ON DEBT SECURITIES
IFC assesses all debt security investments accounted for at fair value through OCI for impairment each quarter. When impairment is identified, the entire impairment is recognized in net income if certain conditions are met (as detailed in Note A to IFC’s FY19 consolidated financial statements). However, if IFC does not intend to sell the debt security and it is not more likely than not that IFC will be required to sell the security, but the security has suffered a credit loss, the credit-related impairment loss is recognized in net income and the non‑credit related loss is recognized in OCI.
PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
IFC participates, along with IBRD and MIGA, in pension and postretirement benefit plans that cover substantially all of their staff members. The underlying actuarial assumptions used to determine the projected benefit obligations, accumulated benefit obligations, and the funded status associated with these plans are based on financial market interest rates, past experience, and management’s best estimate of future benefit cost changes and economic conditions. All costs, assets and liabilities associated with the plans are allocated between IBRD, IFC and MIGA based upon their employees’ respective participation in the plans. IFC reimburses IBRD for their proportionate share of any contributions made to these plans by IBRD. Contributions to the plans are calculated as a percentage of salary. For further details, please refer to Note V to the FY19 consolidated financial statements.

The adoption of ASU 2016-01 impacted the comparability of IFC’s financial results between FY19 and FY18. The table below shows the adjustments to FY18 previously reported results had ASU 2016-01 been applied in FY18. The adjustments to (loss) income from equity investments and associated derivatives represent: 1) $610 million of lower realized gains, due to the change in the cost basis of equity investments from initial cash cost less write-downs to initial cash cost, 2) the removal of equity impairments of $446 million as all equity investments are now recorded at fair value through the consolidated statement of operations, and 3) the addition of net unrealized gains of $322 million on equity investments previously accounted for at cost less impairment or available for sale. The $278 million adjustment to net unrealized (losses) gains on non-trading financial instruments accounted for at fair value represents the unrealized loss on the instrument-specific credit component of market borrowings that is now reported in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. See Note A to the FY19 consolidated financial statements for additional details.

FY19 VERSUS FY18
IFC reported income before net unrealized gains and losses on non-trading financial instruments accounted for at fair value and grants to IDA of $311 million in FY19, as compared to income of $1,272 million in FY18.
The $961 million decrease in income before net unrealized gains and losses on non-trading financial instruments accounted for at fair value and grants to IDA in FY19 when compared to FY18 was principally a result of the following:

A more detailed analysis of the components of IFC’s net income follows.
INCOME FROM LOANS AND GUARANTEES, INCLUDING REALIZED GAINS AND LOSSES ON LOANS AND ASSOCIATED DERIVATIVES
IFC’s primary interest earning asset is its loan portfolio. Income from loans and guarantees, including realized gains and losses on loans and associated derivatives for FY19 totaled $1,774 million, compared with $1,377 million in FY18, an increase of $397 million.
The disbursed loan portfolio increased by $228 million from $25,172 million at June 30, 2018 to $25,400 million at June 30, 2019. The increase in the disbursed loan portfolio is due to new disbursements exceeding repayments ($605 million in FY19), partially offset by reduction in loans outstanding due to write-offs net of recoveries ($196 million in FY19) and currency exchange rate fluctuations ($138 million in FY19). IFC’s reporting currency, the US dollar, appreciated significantly against emerging market investment currencies in FY19 such as the Turkish lira and Colombian peso. The remainder of the change is primarily due to capitalized interest and charges, loan conversions and transfers.
The weighted average contractual interest rate on loans at June 30, 2019 was 6.3%, up from 6.0% June 30, 2018 reflecting the rise in average LIBOR as many of IFC’s loans periodically reprice.

(LOSS) INCOME FROM EQUITY INVESTMENTS AND ASSOCIATED DERIVATIVES
Income from the equity investment portfolio, including associated derivatives, decreased by $1,106 million from $853 million of income in FY18 to losses of $253 million in FY19.
IFC sells equity investments where IFC’s developmental role is complete, where pre-determined sales trigger levels have been met, and where applicable, lock ups have expired. Gains and losses on equity investments and associated derivatives comprise realized and unrealized gains.
IFC recognized realized net gains on equity investments and associated derivatives in FY19 of $425 million, as compared with $992 million in FY18, a decrease of $567 million. Realized gains on equity investments and associated derivatives are concentrated in a small number of investments. In FY19, there were eight investments that generated individual capital gains in excess of $20 million for a total of $425 million, compared to nineteen investments that generated individual capital gains in excess of $20 million for a total of $684 million in FY18. Dividend income in FY19 totaled $238 million, as compared with $282 million in FY18.
Beginning in FY19, all equity investments are accounted for at fair value through net income due to the adoption of ASU 2016-01 as discussed above and in Note A to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As a result, there were no other-than-temporary impairments on equity investments in FY19, as compared with $446 million in FY18.
Net unrealized losses on equity investments and associated derivatives were $918 million (including reversals of unrealized gains, measured against original disbursement, upon realization) in FY19 compared to net unrealized gains of $17 million in FY18 due to lower valuations coupled with the higher balance of equity investments recorded at fair value through net income due to the adoption of ASU 2016-01. At June 30, 2019, $13,113 million of equity investments were accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value being reported in net income compared to $6,794 million at June 30, 2018. Prior to FY19, the change in fair value of equity investments classified as available-for-sale were recorded in other comprehensive income, and no unrealized gains and losses were recorded on equity investments measured at cost less impairment. ASU 2016-01 was applied through a cumulative adjustment to beginning period balances with no change to prior period reported results.
INCOME FROM DEBT SECURITIES AND REALIZED GAINS AND LOSSES ON DEBT SECURITIES AND ASSOCIATED DERIVATIVES
Income from debt securities and associated derivatives declined by $237 million from $363 million in FY18 to $126 million in FY19. The decrease was primarily due to other-than-temporary impairments on debt securities of $247 million in FY19 ($39 million in FY18), which included $238 million in FY19 Q1 related to cumulative foreign exchange losses reflecting the significant currency depreciation in a country with a large debt security exposure deemed as other than temporary, and lower realized gains of $5 million (compared to $93 million in FY18). This was partially offset by an increase in interest income by $56 million in FY19 when compared with FY18 driven by higher average debt security balances.

PROVISION FOR LOSSES ON LOANS, GUARANTEES, ACCRUED INTEREST AND OTHER RECEIVABLES
The quality of the loan portfolio, as measured by the weighted average country risk ratings and the weighted average credit ratings, experienced some marginal deterioration in FY19. Non-performing loans (NPLs) decreased by $69 million, from $1,400 million of the disbursed loan portfolio at June 30, 2018 to $1,331 million9 at June 30, 2019. The decrease of $69 million was due to write-offs, net of recoveries ($196 million), positive developments such as repayments and prepayments ($307 million) and other changes ($7 million), partially offset by increase in NPL balances due to $441 million of loans and loan-like debt securities being placed in NPL status. In FY19, thirteen loans greater than $10 million, and totaling $387 million, were placed in NPL status.
IFC recorded a net provision for losses on loans, guarantees, accrued interest and other receivables of $87 million in FY19 ($105 million of specific provisions on loans, $28 million of release of portfolio provisions on loans, $10 million net provision on guarantees, other receivables and accrued interest) as compared to a provision of $90 million in FY18 ($82 million of specific provisions on loans, $2 million of portfolio provisions on loans, $6 million net provision on guarantees, other receivables and accrued interest).
Project-specific developments on ten loans comprised 65% of the specific provision for losses on loans in FY19 (excluding release of provisions). The release of portfolio provisions in FY19 was due to an improvement in the expected loss given default that had a greater impact than the higher credit ratings for loans subject to portfolio provisions.
At June 30, 2019, IFC’s total reserves against losses on loans were $1,191 million or 4.7% of the disbursed loan portfolio ($1,293 million; 5.1% at June 30, 2018), a decrease of $102 million from June 30, 2018. The decrease in reserves against losses on loans due to write-offs, net of recoveries of $187 million, and foreign exchange gains related to reserves held against non-U.S. dollar-denominated loans ($5 million), was partially offset by provisions of $77 million and other adjustments ($13 million).
Specific reserves against losses on loans at June 30, 2019 of $580 million ($651 million at June 30, 2018) are held against impaired loans of $1,240 million ($1,258 million at June 30, 2018), a coverage ratio of 47% (52% at June 30, 2018).
INCOME FROM LIQUID ASSET TRADING ACTIVITIES
The liquid assets portfolio, net of derivatives and securities lending activities, increased by $0.8 billion from $38.9 billion at June 30, 2018, to $39.7 billion at June 30, 2019. Income, net of allocated funding costs, from liquid asset trading activities totaled $476 million in FY19 compared to $214 million in FY18, an increase of $262 million. The increase is largely attributable to income from the Net Worth Funded Portfolio, which is benchmarked to the Bloomberg 1 to 3 year U.S. Treasury index. U.S. Treasuries have rallied since November 2018 in response to changing U.S. and global economic conditions and in anticipation of a shift in monetary policy by the U.S. Federal Reserve. This rally along with the growth in the Net Worth Funded Portfolio both contributed substantially to the increase in income relative to FY18, when the U.S. Treasury index return was close to 0%.
Interest income in FY19 totaled $775 million, compared to $664 million in FY18. The portfolio of ABS and MBS experienced fair value losses totaling $21 million in FY19. Holdings in other products, including US Treasuries, global government bonds, high quality corporate bonds and derivatives generated $537 million of gains in FY19, resulting in a total gain of $516 million (realized and unrealized). This compares to a total gain (realized and unrealized) of $107 million in FY18.
In FY19, the liquid assets portfolios outperformed their benchmarks by $141 million, down from $266 million in FY18. The decline was largely attributable to a decline in income from securities held in liquidity. In part, this reflected lower yield-spreads at the outset of FY19 due to prior outperformance. The Corporation also decreased its risk appetite in FY19, and holdings of securities, particularly AAA-rated asset-backed securities, residential mortgage-backed securities, and commercial mortgage-backed securities were reduced significantly. In FY19 Q4, performance over benchmarks was primarily generated by investments in international securitized products and money markets. For FY19, most fixed-income sectors outperformed the Funded Liquidity benchmarks, while heightened volatility in interest-rates weighed on excess returns for Agency MBS. Much of the excess return was attributable to investments in instruments (bonds and money markets) denominated in foreign-currencies that benefited from deviations from interest-rate parity. During FY19, decreases in investments in securitized products and covered bonds were partially offset by investments in developed markets’ government-related securities, emerging market sovereign bonds and money markets. Liquid asset holdings remain well diversified geographically and are concentrated in money-market instruments.
At June 30, 2019, and June 30, 2018, trading securities classified as Level 3 securities (unobservable inputs for the securities used to measure fair value) were an insignificant population of total trading securities.
CHARGES ON BORROWINGS
IFC’s charges on borrowings increased by $534 million, from $1,041 million in FY18 (net of $2 million gain on extinguishment of borrowings) to $1,575 million in FY19 (net of $1 million gain on extinguishment of borrowings), largely attributable to higher LIBOR rates compared to the same period in FY18.
The weighted average cost of IFC’s borrowings outstanding from market sources, after the effects of borrowing-related derivatives, and excluding short-term borrowings from market and other sources, was 2.8% at June 30, 2019, an increase from 2.5% at June 30, 2018. The size of the borrowings portfolio (excluding short-term borrowings), net of borrowing-related derivatives and before unamortized

discounts, net, and fair value adjustments, increased by $0.1 billion during FY19 from $53.4 billion at June 30, 2018, to $53.5 billion at June 30, 2019.
OTHER INCOME
Other income of $622 million for FY19 was $44 million higher than $578 million in FY18 due to an increase in client risk management income, increase in service fees, primarily evaluation service fees, and increase in advisory services income, partially offset by decrease in total income from consolidated entities.
OTHER EXPENSES
Administrative expenses (the principal component of other expenses) increased by $326 million from $1,029 million in FY18 to $1,355 million in FY19 primarily due to $238 million of pension service costs included in administrative expenses in FY19 due to the prospective adoption of ASU 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, beginning in FY19 Q1, as disclosed in Note A to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The remainder of the increase was driven by increase in staff costs, primarily due to workforce planning related severance costs, increase in the cost of Shared Services Agreements with IBRD and increase in consultant and contractual services. These increases were partially offset by decline in travel, representation and hospitality expenses and other expenses.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTION GAINS AND LOSSES ON NON-TRADING ACTIVITIES
Foreign currency transaction gains reported in net income in FY19 totaled $159 million (gains of $123 million - FY18). Foreign currency transaction losses on debt securities accounted for as available-for-sale of $125 million in FY19 (losses of $120 million ‑ FY18) are reported in Other Comprehensive Income, while gains and losses on the derivatives economically hedging such debt securities are reported in Net Income.
IFC has recorded foreign exchange related gains of $34 million ($3 million gains - FY18) in a combination of Net Income and Other Comprehensive Income. The net foreign exchange related gain or loss is largely due to non-US dollar borrowings funding non-US dollar liquid assets with the foreign exchange gains or losses on the liquid assets presented as part of Income from liquid asset trading activities in net income.
NET UNREALIZED GAINS AND LOSSES ON NON-TRADING FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
As discussed in more detail in Note A to IFC’s FY19 consolidated financial statements, IFC accounts for certain financial instruments at fair value with unrealized gains and losses on such financial instruments being reported in net income, namely: (i) all market borrowings with associated currency or interest rate swaps that are accounted for at fair value with changes therein reported in net income; (ii) unrealized gains and losses on certain loans, debt securities and associated derivatives; and (iii) borrowings from IDA.

IFC reported net unrealized losses on loans, debt securities and associated derivatives of $203 million in FY19 ($181 million gains in FY18).  In FY19 this comprised unrealized gains of $65 million on the loan and debt securities portfolio carried at fair value, unrealized losses of $177 million on lending-related swaps, unrealized losses of $83 million on client risk management swaps and unrealized losses of $8 million on other derivatives, mainly conversion features, warrants in investment contracts and interest rate and currency swaps economically hedging client obligations. The unrealized losses of $177 million on lending related currency and interest rate swaps economically hedging loans other than variable rate US dollar-denominated loans is driven mainly by the US dollar, Euro, Indian rupee and Chinese yuan swap portfolios, where lower discount rates over FY19 YTD generated unrealized losses on the fixed-pay leg of the swaps.
Changes in the fair value of IFC’s borrowings from market, IDA and associated derivatives, net, includes the impact of changes in IFC’s own credit spread when measured against US dollar LIBOR. As credit spreads widen, unrealized gains are recorded and when credit spreads narrow, unrealized losses are recorded (notwithstanding the impact of other factors, such as changes in risk-free interest and foreign currency exchange rates). The magnitude and direction (gain or loss) can be volatile from period to period but does not alter the cash flows. IFC’s policy is to generally match currency, amount and timing of cash flows on market borrowings with cash flows on associated derivatives entered into contemporaneously.
Beginning in FY19, the portion of the total change in fair value of borrowings, accounted for at fair value, resulting from a change in IFC’s own credit spread is reported as a separate component of Other Comprehensive Income due to the adoption of ASU 2016-01 as discussed in Note A to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. ASU 2016-01 was applied through a cumulative adjustment to beginning period balances with no change to prior period reported results.
In FY19, US Treasury yields declined further as the rally in US fixed income markets that began last October continued apace as the US Federal Reserve signaled a shift from monetary tightening to the prevailing indications of an easier monetary policy, consequent to

indications of a slowing US economy. The yield on the benchmark 5-year U.S. Treasury bond stood at 1.75 percent at FY19-end, compared to 2.75 percent at the end of FY18. As a result, In FY19, IFC recorded unrealized losses of $1,484 million through net income on medium and long-term borrowings carried at fair value, comprising a $1,452 million loss on market borrowings and a $32 million loss on borrowings from IDA. Unrealized gains of $1,469 million were recorded on borrowing-related derivatives. Overall, IFC has reported $15 million of net unrealized losses on borrowings from market sources and associated derivatives, net and borrowings from IDA in FY19 (net unrealized losses $93 million in FY18). The unrealized losses in FY19 include $72 million of unrealized losses on IFC’s Indian rupee denominated borrowings where IFC holds Indian rupee liquid assets and loans that act as an economic hedge. These unrealized losses were offset by unrealized gains on borrowings in other currencies which are economically hedged with currency swaps, but where swap FX basis spread movements drive such unrealized gains and losses.
OCI
UNREALIZED GAINS AND LOSSES ON EQUITY INVESTMENTS AND DEBT SECURITIES
Through June 30, 2018, IFC’s investments in debt securities and equity investments that were listed in markets that provide readily determinable fair values were classified as available-for-sale, with unrealized gains and losses on these investments being reported in OCI until realized. When realized, the gain or loss was transferred to net income. Effective July 1, 2018, all equity investments are accounted for at fair value through net income upon adoption of ASU 2016-01, and IFC has elected the fair value option for all new investments in debt securities.
As a result, no unrealized gains and losses on equity investments were recorded in OCI in FY19. Unrealized gains and losses on debt securities in OCI are associated with debt securities investments made prior to July 1, 2018. Changes in unrealized gains and losses on debt securities reported in OCI are significantly impacted by (i) the global environment for emerging market debt; (ii) the reclassification of other-than-temporary impairments to net income; and (iii) the reclassification of realized gains on sales of debt securities accounted for as available for sale.
As discussed in Note A to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, effective July 1, 2018, the portion of the change in fair value of borrowings under the FVO resulting from the change of IFC’s own credit risk is recorded in OCI. In prior periods, these amounts were recognized in net income.

In FY19, other-than-temporary impairments on debt securities of $247 million ($39 million in FY18) included $238 million from a cumulative foreign exchange loss reclassified to Net Income in FY19 Q1, reflecting the significant currency depreciation in a country considered other than temporary with a large debt security exposure.
Net unrealized gains on equity investments, debt securities and borrowings totaled $273 million in FY19 (net unrealized losses of $312 million in FY18). A gain of $88 million was recognized through other comprehensive income in FY19 due to movements in the instrument specific credit risk on borrowings at fair value. This was primarily due to IFC bond issuances in US dollars where after swap credit spreads widened by 5 basis points on average across the term structure from the end of FY18, and from issuances in Australian dollars and Turkish lira where credit spreads on IFC bonds were also higher when compared to FY18-end.
UNRECOGNIZED NET ACTUARIAL GAINS AND LOSSES AND UNRECOGNIZED PRIOR SERVICE COSTS ON BENEFIT PLANS
Unrecognized pension adjustments largely represent the unrecognized net actuarial gains and losses on benefit plans. Actuarial gains and losses occur when actual results differ from expected results in determining the funded status of the pension plans. Since the pension plans are long term, changes in asset returns and discount rates cause volatility in comprehensive income. Given its long-term planning horizon for pension plans, Management is focused mainly on ensuring that contributions to pension plans appropriately reflect long term assumptions about asset returns and discount rates.
During FY19, IFC experienced a loss of $410 million ($416 million of unrecognized net actuarial losses and a $6 million reduction of prior service cost). The loss resulted largely from the decrease in the discount rates used to determine the projected benefit obligations at FY19-end when compared with FY18-end. The discount rate assumptions used to determine the projected benefit obligation for the Staff Retirement Plan and Post-Employment Benefits Plan decreased from 4.1% at June 30, 2018 to 3.4% at June 30, 2019 and from 4.1% at June 30, 2018 to 3.5% at June 30, 2019, respectively.

A more detailed analysis of the components of IFC’s net income follows.
INCOME FROM LOANS AND GUARANTEES, INCLUDING REALIZED GAINS AND LOSSES ON LOANS AND ASSOCIATED DERIVATIVES
IFC’s primary interest earning asset is its loan portfolio. Income from loans and guarantees, including realized gains and losses on loans and associated derivatives for FY18 totaled $1,377 million, compared with $1,298 million in FY17, an increase of $79 million.
The disbursed loan portfolio increased by $962 million from $24,210 million at June 30, 2017 to $25,172 million at June 30, 2018. The increase in the loan portfolio is due to new disbursements exceeding repayments ($1,561 million in FY18), partially offset by reduction in loans outstanding due to write-offs net of recoveries ($294 million in FY18) and currency exchange rate fluctuations ($199 million in FY18). IFC’s reporting currency, the US dollar, appreciated significantly against emerging market investment currencies in FY18 such as the Turkish lira, Brazilian real and Indian rupee. The remainder of the change is primarily due to loan sales and capital charges.

The increase in interest rates during FY18, including the US$ six-month LIBOR which increased from 1.45% at June 30, 2017 to 2.50% at June 30, 2018, was a key driver of the higher loan income in FY18 compared to FY17. The weighted average contractual interest rate on loans at June 30, 2018 was 6.0%, up from 5.4% June 30, 2017.
The decrease in the recognition of deferred interest is primarily due to $67 million of previously capitalized and deferred interest that was recognized in FY17 as a result of a $127 million prepayment.
INCOME FROM EQUITY INVESTMENTS AND ASSOCIATED DERIVATIVES
Income from the equity investment portfolio, including associated derivatives, increased by $146 million from $707 million in FY17 to $853 million in FY18.
IFC sells equity investments where IFC’s developmental role is complete, where pre-determined sales trigger levels have been met, and where applicable, lock ups have expired. Gains on equity investments and associated derivatives comprise realized and unrealized gains.
IFC recognized realized gains on equity investments and associated derivatives in the form of cash and non-monetary considerations for FY18 of $992 million, as compared with $1,073 million for FY17, a decrease of $81 million. Realized gains on equity investments and associated derivatives are concentrated in a small number of investments. In FY18, there were nineteen investments that generated individual capital gains in excess of $20 million for a total of $684 million, or 68% of the FY18 realized gains, compared to sixteen investments that generated individual capital gains in excess of $20 million for a total of $674 million, or 63%, of the FY17 realized gains.
Dividend income in FY18 totaled $282 million, as compared with $244 million in FY17. Dividend income in FY18 included returns from two unincorporated joint venture (UJVs) in the natural resources sectors accounted for under the cost recovery method, which totaled $13 million, as compared with $11 million from three such UJVs in FY17. One investee generated dividends of $51 million in FY18 ($58 million in FY17).
Other-than-temporary impairments on equity investments totaled $446 million in FY18 ($264 million on equity investments accounted for at cost less impairment; and $182 million on equity investments accounted for as available-for-sale), as compared with $581 million in FY17 ($365 million on equity investments accounted for at cost less impairment; and $216 million on equity investments accounted for as available-for-sale), a decrease of $135 million. The largest amount of impairments in FY18 were from the South Asia, Europe and Central Asia regions, primarily in the Manufacturing, Agribusiness and Services and Financial Markets sectors. In FY18, five investments generated individual other-than-temporary impairments in excess of $20 million for a total of $155 million. In FY17, seven investments generated an individual other-than-temporary impairment in excess of $20 million for a total of $267 million.
Net unrealized gains on equity investments and associated derivatives totaled $17 million (Net unrealized losses of $33 million in FY17) reflecting an overall improvement in the macro environment for emerging market equities.
INCOME FROM DEBT SECURITIES AND REALIZED GAINS AND LOSSES ON DEBT SECURITIES AND ASSOCIATED DERIVATIVES
Income from debt securities and realized gains and losses on debt securities and associated derivatives increased to $363 million in FY18 from $282 million in FY17. The increase was primarily due an increase in interest income of $128 million in FY18 when compared with FY17 due to higher average balances, partially offset by a $60 million decrease in realized gains ($93 million in FY18) when compared to FY17 ($153 million).

PROVISION FOR LOSSES ON LOANS, GUARANTEES, ACCRUED INTEREST AND OTHER RECEIVABLES
The quality of the loan portfolio, as measured by the weighted average country risk ratings and the weighted average credit ratings, experienced some marginal improvement in FY18. Non-performing loans (NPLs) decreased by $122 million, from $1,522 million of the disbursed loan portfolio at June 30, 2017 to $1,400 million10 at June 30, 2018. The decrease of $122 million was comprised of $376 million of loans and loan-like debt securities being placed in NPL status, $319 million being removed from NPL status due to write-offs, $146 million being removed from NPL status due to positive developments such as repayments, prepayments and improvements and other changes of $33 million. In FY18, ten loans greater than $10 million, and totaling $300 million, were placed in NPL status.
IFC recorded a net provision for losses on loans, guarantees, accrued interest and other receivables of $90 million in FY18 ($82 million of specific provisions on loans, $2 million of portfolio provisions on loans, $1 million net release of provision on guarantees and other receivables and $7 million provision on accrued interest) as compared to a provision of $86 million in FY17 ($268 million of specific provisions on loans partially offset by $171 million release of portfolio provisions on loans and an $11 million release of provision on guarantees). Project-specific developments on ten loans comprised 68% of the specific provision for losses on loans in FY18 (excluding release of provisions).
At June 30, 2018, IFC’s total reserves against losses on loans were $1,293 million or 5.1% of the disbursed loan portfolio ($1,483 million; 6.1% at June 30, 2017), a decrease of $190 million from June 30, 2017. The decrease in reserves against losses on loans due to write-offs, net of recoveries of $285 million, and foreign exchange gains related to reserves held against non-U.S. dollar-denominated loans ($5 million), was partially offset by provisions of $84 million and other adjustments ($16 million).
Specific reserves against losses on loans at June 30, 2018 of $651 million ($841 million at June 30, 2017) are held against impaired loans of $1,258 million ($1,675 million at June 30, 2017), a coverage ratio of 52% (50% at June 30, 2017).
In the three months ended March 31, 2017 (FY17 Q3), IFC completed the implementation of the Investment Risk Platform (IRP), which replaced IFC’s previous credit risk rating system and economic capital engine. The new rating system better aligns IFC’s practice to internationally recognized standards, where appropriate, given IFC’s portfolio and IRP allows for easier comparison between external ratings and IFC’s internal ratings. More granular ratings are expected to lead to better differentiation and a better understanding of client credit standing which will allow for more focus on those credits that most warrant scrutiny. The improved predictive power for probability of default and loss given default is also anticipated to lead to more informed investment decisions. As a result of implementing IRP, IFC reviewed its methodology for estimating the portfolio reserve against losses, in particular the estimation of the probability of default and loss given default. The implementation of IRP resulted in a $156 million release of portfolio provision related to this change in estimate that was reported in FY17 Q3.
INCOME FROM LIQUID ASSET TRADING ACTIVITIES
The liquid assets portfolio, net of derivatives and securities lending activities, decreased by $0.3 billion from $39.2 billion at June 30, 2017, to $38.9 billion at June 30, 2018. Gross income from liquid asset trading activities totaled $771 million in FY18 compared to $917 million in FY17, a decrease of $146 million. The decrease in gross income was primarily attributable to a decrease in the performance of liquid assets net of benchmarks. The performance in FY17 was exceptionally strong, especially in FY17 Q1, due to a rebound from the post-BREXIT mark-to-market losses suffered in the three months ended June 30, 2016.
Interest income in FY18 totaled $664 million, compared to $582 million in FY17. Holdings in products other than ABS and MBS, including US Treasuries, global government bonds, high quality corporate bonds and derivatives generated $134 million of gains in FY18. The portfolio of ABS and MBS experienced fair value losses totaling $27 million in FY18, for a total net gain of $107 million (realized and unrealized). This compares to a total gain (realized and unrealized) of $335 million in FY17.
Performance over the course of FY18 was supported by narrowing spreads for high-quality ABS, contributions from cross-currency basis spreads, and deviations from interest-rate parity in foreign-exchange forward rates. In FY18 Q4, performance benefited primarily from narrowing cross-currency basis swap spreads and movements in forward foreign exchange rates towards interest-rate parity. The Corporation reduced its exposure to credit spreads during FY18 and increased its exposure to deposits and other money-market instruments. Liquid asset holdings remain well diversified geographically and are concentrated in money-market instruments.
Improving economic growth in the U.S. accompanied by rising inflation allowed the U.S. Federal Reserve to continue its tightening of monetary policy. The Fed raised its benchmark policy rate 3 times in 25 bps increments over the course of the fiscal year, and the U.S. Treasury market reacted by flattening the spread between long-term and short-term yields. The 2-year Note yield rose 115 bps, while the 10-year Note yield rose 59 bps. The increase in the front-end of the yield curve was considerably faster than the pace embedded in the yield curve such that the benchmark for the Net Worth Funded portfolio, the 1 to 3-year U.S. Treasury index, had a total return of close to zero. The performance of non-USD liquid assets in developed markets benefited from a reduction in USD funding pressures, which resulted in less-negative cross-currency bases and adjustments in foreign-currency forward rates that contributed to returns.
During FY18 Q4, short-term US Treasury yields rose more than long-term yields with the 2-year Note yield rising 26 bps, and the 10-year Note yield up 12 bps. The U.S. Federal Reserve tightened monetary policy in June, in line with expectations, but they increased the projected number of interest rate hikes for 2018 from 3 to 4. The S&P 500 equity index was up modestly over the quarter, 2.9%, and credit

spreads widened slightly. The IFC treasury managed portion of net worth gained $23 million during FY18 Q4 despite the increase in short-term interest rates. While the increase in yields resulted in a return for the benchmark that was considerably lower than the yield of the benchmark at the outset of the quarter, the portfolio benefited from an increase in its size, and this income was enhanced by the use of securities lending to make additional investments.
In FY18 and FY17, all internally managed liquid asset portfolios outperformed their respective benchmarks.
At June 30, 2018, trading securities with a fair value of $18 million are classified as Level 3 securities, which is 0.1% of total trading securities at fair value ($19 million - June 30, 2017).
CHARGES ON BORROWINGS
IFC’s charges on borrowings increased by $329 million, from $712 million in FY17 (net of $2 million gain on extinguishment of borrowings) to $1,041 million in FY18 (net of $2 million gain on extinguishment of borrowings), largely attributable to rising LIBOR rates and increased term of new borrowings.
The weighted average cost of IFC’s borrowings outstanding from market sources, after the effects of borrowing-related derivatives, and excluding short-term borrowings from market and other sources, was 2.5% at June 30, 2018, an increase from 1.4% at June 30, 2017. The size of the borrowings portfolio (excluding short-term borrowings), net of borrowing-related derivatives and before unamortized discounts, net, and fair value adjustments, increased by $1.4 billion during FY18 from $52.0 billion at June 30, 2017, to $53.4 billion at June 30, 2018.
OTHER INCOME
Other income of $578 million for FY18 was $50 million higher than in FY17 ($528 million) due to a $20 million increase in service fees from FY17 to FY18, primarily in mobilization fees, which reflected Core Mobilization of $11,671 million in FY18 which was $4,209 million higher than in FY17 and higher income from Advisory Services, predominantly contributions from donors, of $305 million ($277 million in FY17). In FY18, income from advisory services comprised $252 million of donor funds utilized ($229 million - FY17) and $53 million of fees from clients and administrative fees from donors ($48 million - FY17).
OTHER EXPENSES
Administrative expenses (the principal component of other expenses) increased $67 million from $962 million in FY17 to $1,029 million in FY18. The increase in FY18 is principally due to higher staff costs which increased by $66 million in FY18.
Advisory services expenses totaled $354 million in FY18 ($327 million in FY17); the increase from FY17 is consistent with the increase in advisory services income.
IFC recorded expenses from pension and other postretirement benefit plans in FY18 of $244 million, compared with $293 million in FY17. This decrease, based on the beginning of the year actuarial assumptions and calculations reflecting the funding status of the plans at June 30, 2017 (FY17-end), was primarily driven by lower amortization of unrecognized net actuarial losses resulting largely from an increase in the discount rates used to determine the projected benefit obligation between June 30, 2016 (FY16-end) and FY17-end. The discount rate used to determine the projected benefit obligation for the Staff Retirement Plan, was 3.70% at FY17-end versus 3.40% at FY16-end.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTION GAINS AND LOSSES ON NON-TRADING ACTIVITIES
Foreign currency transaction gains reported in net income in FY18 totaled $123 million (losses of $188 million - FY17). Foreign currency transaction losses on debt securities accounted for as available-for-sale of $193 million in FY18 (gains of $64 million ‑ FY17) are reported in Other Comprehensive Income, while gains and losses on the derivatives economically hedging such debt securities are reported in Net Income. Additionally, these foreign currency gains and losses reported in Other Comprehensive Income are reclassified to Net Income upon sale or repayment. In FY18, this resulted in a loss of $73 million ($12 million - FY17), of which $62 million resulted from a single repayment of an available-for-sale debt security.
Largely due to a small population of unhedged non-U.S. dollar-denominated loans and debt securities and the U.S. dollar strengthening against such currencies, IFC has recorded overall foreign exchange related losses in a combination of Net Income and Other Comprehensive Income of $70 million in FY18 (losses of $124 million ‑ FY17).

NET UNREALIZED GAINS AND LOSSES ON NON-TRADING FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
As discussed in more detail in Note A to IFC’s FY18 consolidated financial statements, IFC accounts for certain financial instruments at fair value with unrealized gains and losses on such financial instruments being reported in net income, namely: (i) all market borrowings that are economically hedged with financial instruments that are accounted for at fair value with changes therein reported in net income; (ii) unrealized gains and losses on certain loans, debt securities and associated derivatives; and (iii) borrowings from IDA.

IFC reported net unrealized gains on loans, debt securities and associated derivatives of $181 million in FY18 ($320 million in FY17).  In FY18 this comprised unrealized losses of $33 million on the loan and debt securities portfolio carried at fair value, unrealized gains of $177 million on lending-related swaps, unrealized gains of $28 million on client risk management swaps and unrealized gains of $9 million on other derivatives, mainly conversion features, warrants in investment contracts and interest rate and currency swaps economically hedging client obligations. The unrealized gains of $177 million on lending related swaps is driven by upward movement in interest rates during the fiscal year in EUR, INR, and USD, the main currencies of lending-related swap issuance.
Changes in the fair value of IFC’s borrowings from market, IDA and associated derivatives, net, includes the impact of changes in IFC’s own credit spread when measured against US$ LIBOR. As credit spreads widen, unrealized gains are recorded and when credit spreads narrow, unrealized losses are recorded (notwithstanding the impact of other factors, such as changes in risk-free interest and foreign currency exchange rates). The magnitude and direction (gain or loss) can be volatile from period to period but does not alter the cash flows. IFC’s policy is to generally match currency, amount and timing of cash flows on market borrowings with cash flows on associated derivatives entered into contemporaneously.
At June 30, 2018, the yield on the benchmark 5-year U.S. Treasury bond stood at 2.7 percent, up from 1.9 percent at the beginning of the fiscal year. Due to the increase in market interest rates, IFC recorded unrealized gains of $1,096 million on medium and long-term borrowings carried at fair value in FY18, offset by unrealized losses of $1,189 million on related derivatives. Overall, IFC has reported $93 million of net unrealized losses on borrowings and associated derivatives in FY18 (net unrealized gains $74 million in FY17). At the end of FY18, after swap credit spreads for IFC borrowing issuances in US dollars were generally narrower across the term structure than at the end of FY17. Additionally, compared to the end of FY17, the cost of economically hedging borrowings in Australian and New Zealand dollars was little changed, while the cost of borrowing in Japanese yen was higher at most maturities at the end of FY18.
GRANTS TO IDA
During FY18, IFC recorded a grant to IDA of $80 million, as compared with $101 million in FY17.
OCI
UNREALIZED GAINS AND LOSSES ON EQUITY INVESTMENTS AND DEBT SECURITIES
IFC’s investments in debt securities and equity investments that are listed in markets that provide readily determinable fair values are classified as available-for-sale, with unrealized gains and losses on these investments being reported in OCI until realized. When realized, the gain or loss is transferred to net income. Changes in unrealized gains and losses on equity investments and debt securities reported in OCI are significantly impacted by (i) the global environment for emerging markets; and (ii) the realization of gains on sales of such equity investments and debt securities.

Net unrealized losses on equity investments and debt securities was $312 million in FY18 (net unrealized gains of $346 million in FY17). The unrealized loss in FY18 was primarily driven by foreign currency transaction losses on debt securities accounted for as available-for-sale and the reclassification of realized gains on listed equity investments, partially offset by the reclassification of impairments on listed equity investments and higher equity valuations, due to the improved emerging markets environment.
UNRECOGNIZED NET ACTUARIAL GAINS AND LOSSES AND UNRECOGNIZED PRIOR SERVICE COSTS ON BENEFIT PLANS
Unrecognized pension adjustments largely represent the unrecognized net actuarial gains and losses on benefit plans. Actuarial gains and losses occur when actual results differ from expected results in determining the funded status of the pension plans. Since the pension plans are long term, changes in asset returns and discount rates cause volatility in comprehensive income. The change in the funded status reflects the rise in interest rates used to measure the liability, and to a greater extent the higher actual asset returns compared with the long-term projection. Given its long-term planning horizon for pension plans, Management is focused mainly on ensuring that contributions to pension plans appropriately reflect long term assumptions about asset returns and discount rates.
During FY18, IFC experienced a gain of $118 million ($111 million of unrecognized net actuarial gains and a $7 million reduction of prior service cost). The gain resulted largely from the increase in the discount rates used to determine the projected benefit obligations at FY18-end when compared with FY17-end. The discount rate assumptions used to determine the projected benefit obligation for the Staff Retirement Plan and Post-Employment Benefits Plan increased from 3.7% at June 30, 2017 to 4.1% at June 30, 2018 and from 3.8% at June 30, 2017 to 4.1% at June 30, 2018, respectively.

VIII. GOVERNANCE AND CONTROL
GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE
capturea05.jpg
GENERAL GOVERNANCE
IFC’s decision-making structure consists of the Board of Governors, the Board of Directors (Board of Directors or Board), the President, the CEO, Management and staff. The Board of Governors is the highest decision-making authority. Governors are appointed by their member governments for a five-year term, which is renewable. The Board of Governors may delegate authority to the Board of Directors to exercise any of its powers, except those reserved to the Board of Governors under IFC's Articles of Agreement.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
In accordance with IFC's Articles of Agreement, Directors are appointed or elected every two years by their member governments. The Board currently has 25 Directors who represent all member countries. Directors are neither officers nor staff of IFC. The President is the only member of the Board from management, and he serves as a non-voting member and as Chairman of the Board.
The Board is required to consider proposals made by the President on the use of IFC’s net income: retained earnings and designation of retained earnings and on other policies that affect its general operations. The Board is also responsible for presenting to the Board of Governors, at the Annual meetings, audited accounts, an administrative budget, and an annual report on operations and policies and on other matters.
The Board and its committees are in continuous session at the main IBRD offices in Washington DC, as business requires. Each committee’s terms of reference establish its respective roles and responsibilities. As committees do not vote on issues, their role is primarily to serve the Board in discharging its responsibilities.
The committees are made up of eight members and function under their respective stipulated terms of reference. These committees are as follows:
Audit Committee - assists the Board in overseeing IFC’s finances, accounting, risk management and internal controls (see further explanation below).
Budget Committee - assists the Board in approving IFC’s budget and in overseeing the preparation and execution of IFC’s strategy and business outlook. The committee provides guidance to management on strategic directions.
Committee on Development Effectiveness - supports the Board in assessing IFC’s development effectiveness, providing guidance on strategic directions, and monitoring the quality and results of operations.
Committee on Governance and Directors’ Administrative Matters - assists the Board on issues related to governance, the Board’s own effectiveness, and the administrative policy applicable to Directors’ offices.
Human Resources Committee - strengthens the efficiency and effectiveness of the Board in discharging its oversight responsibility on IFC’s human resources strategy, policies and practices, and their alignment with the business needs of the organization.

AUDIT COMMITTEE
MEMBERSHIP
The Audit Committee consists of eight Directors. Membership in the Committee is determined by the Board, based on nominations by the Chairman of the Board, following informal consultation with Directors.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
The Audit Committee is appointed by the Board for the primary purpose of assisting the Board in overseeing IFC’s finances, accounting, risk management, internal controls and institutional integrity, specific responsibilities include:
Oversight of the integrity of IFC’s financial statements.
Appointment, qualifications, independence and performance of the External Auditor.
Performance of the Internal Audit Department.
Adequacy and effectiveness of financial and accounting policies and internal controls and the mechanisms to deter, prevent and penalize fraud and corruption in IFC operations and corporate procurement.
Effective management of financial, fiduciary, and compliance risks in IFC.
Oversight of the institutional arrangements and processes for risk management across IFC.
In carrying out its role, the Audit Committee discusses financial issues and policies that affect IFC’s financial position and capital adequacy with Management, external auditors, and internal auditors. It recommends the annual audited financial statements for approval to the Board. The Audit Committee monitors and reviews developments in corporate governance and its own role on an ongoing basis.
EXECUTIVE SESSIONS
Under the Audit Committee’s terms of reference, it may convene in executive session at any time, without Management’s presence. The Audit Committee meets separately in executive session with the external and internal auditors.
ACCESS TO RESOURCES AND TO MANAGEMENT
Throughout the year, the Audit Committee receives a large volume of information to enable it to carry out its duties, and meets both formally and informally throughout the year to discuss relevant matters. It has complete access to Management and reviews and discusses with Management topics considered in its terms of reference.
The Audit Committee has the authority to seek advice and assistance from outside legal, accounting, or other advisors as it deems necessary.
BUSINESS CONDUCT
The WBG promotes a positive work environment in which staff members understand their ethical obligations to the institutions. In support of this commitment, the institutions have in place a Code of Conduct. The WBG has both an Ethics HelpLine and a Fraud and Corruption hotline. A third-party service offers many methods of worldwide communication. Reporting channels include telephone, mail, email, or confidential submission through a website.
IFC has in place procedures for receiving, retaining, and handling recommendations and concerns relating to business conduct identified during the accounting, internal control and auditing processes.
WBG staff rules clarify and codify the staff’s obligations in reporting suspected fraud, corruption, or other misconduct that may threaten the operations or governance of the WBG. These rules also offer protection from retaliation.
AUDITOR INDEPENDENCE
The appointment of the external auditor for IFC is governed by a set of Board-approved principles. These include:
Limits on the external auditor's provision of non-audit-related services;
Requiring all audit-related services to be pre-approved on a case-by-case basis by the Board, upon recommendation of the Audit Committee; and
Renewal of the external audit contract every five years, with a limit of two consecutive terms and mandatory rotation thereafter.
In FY17, the Board approved amendments to the policy on the appointment of an external auditor which came into effect for the FY19 audit period. The primary amendments now permit the external auditor to provide non-prohibited non-audit related services subject to monetary limits. Broadly, the list of prohibited non-audit services include those that would put the external auditor in the roles typically performed by management or in a position of auditing their own work, such as accounting services, internal audit services, and provision of investment advice. The total non-audit services fees over the term of the relevant external audit contract shall not exceed 70 percent of the audit fees over the same period.

Communication between the external auditor and the Audit Committee is ongoing and carried out as often as deemed necessary by either party. The Audit Committee meets periodically with the external auditor and individual committee members have independent access to the external auditor. IFC’s external auditors also follow the communication requirements, with the Audit Committees set out under generally accepted auditing standards in the United States.
EXTERNAL AUDITORS
The external auditor is appointed to a five-year term, with a limit of two consecutive terms, and is subject to annual reappointment based on the recommendation of the Audit Committee and approval of a resolution by the Board. Following a mandatory rebidding of the external audit contract, IFC’s Executive Directors approved the appointment of Deloitte & Touche, LLP as IFC’s external auditor for a five-year term commencing FY19.

Each fiscal year, Management evaluates the internal controls over financial reporting to determine whether any changes made in these controls during the fiscal year materially affect, or would be reasonably likely to materially affect IFC’s internal control over financial reporting. The internal control framework promulgated by COSO, “Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013)” provides guidance for designing, implementing and conducting internal control and assessing its effectiveness. Since the year-ended June 30, 2016, IFC has been using the 2013 COSO framework to assess the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting. As of June 30, 2019, these controls were determined to be effective. See “Management’s report regarding effectiveness of Internal Control over Financial Reporting” on Page 56.

Concurrently, IFC’s external auditor provides a report stating IFC maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2019. See Independent Auditors’ Report on effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting on Page 58.
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed is gathered and communicated to Management as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure by IFC. Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of such controls and procedures and the President, the Chief Executive Officer, the Vice President, Risk and Finance and the Controller have concluded that these controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2019.

AUDIT FEES
IFC’s independent external auditors were Deloitte in FY19 and KPMG in FY18. The aggregate fees for professional services rendered for IFC, including reimbursable expenses, for FY19 and FY18 are as follows: Fees earned by Deloitte for audit and audit-related services rendered to IFC, AMC and funds managed by AMC totaled $3.40 million in FY19 ($3.98 million by KPMG in FY18), comprising $3.32 million of audit services ($3.52 million by KPMG in FY18) and $0.08 million of audit-related services ($0.46 million by KPMG in FY18). Audit-related services are closely related to audit services and in many cases could only be provided by IFC’s independent external auditors. Such audit-related services include accounting consultations, financial statement translation services, comfort letters and other reporting in support of IFC’s borrowing activities, and certain attestation services such as agreed upon procedures.
ORGANIZATION AND ADMINISTRATION OF IFC
MEMBERSHIP
IFC was organized in 1956 with an original membership of 56 countries, which has since grown to 185 member countries at June 30, 2019. Membership in IFC is open to members of IBRD at such times and in accordance with such terms and conditions as IFC shall prescribe.
Although any member may withdraw from membership in IFC by delivering notice thereof in writing, any government which ceases to be a member remains liable for all its obligations to IFC. In the event of withdrawal, IFC will arrange for the repurchase of that government’s capital stock in IFC. Also, a member may be suspended by a decision of a majority of the Board of Governors exercising a majority of IFC’s total voting power if such member fails to fulfil any of its obligations to IFC.
ADMINISTRATION
IFC’s administration is comprised of the Board of Governors, the Board of Directors, the President, the Chief Executive Officer, other officers and staff.

All of the powers of IFC are vested in the Board of Governors which is composed of a Governor (and an Alternate Governor) appointed by each member country of IFC. The voting power of each member shall be equal to the sum of its basic votes and share votes. The basic votes of each member shall be the number of votes that results from the equal distribution among all members of 5.55 percent of the aggregate sum of the voting power of all the members, provided that there shall be no fractional basic votes. The share votes of each member shall be the number of votes that results from the allocation of one vote for each share of stock held. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Articles of Agreement, all matters before IFC are decided by a majority of the votes cast. The Board of Governors holds regular annual meetings, but has delegated to the Board of Directors authority to exercise all of the powers of IFC except those reserved to the Board of Governors under the Articles of Agreement.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the conduct of the general operations of IFC. It is composed of each Executive Director of IBRD who has been either (i) appointed by a member of IBRD which is also a member of IFC, or (ii) elected in an election in which the votes of at least one member of IBRD which is also a member of IFC shall have counted toward his or her election. Each Director is entitled to cast the number of votes which the member by which he or she was appointed, or the member (or members) that voted for his or her election, is entitled to cast. The Board of Directors presently consists of 25 Directors. Five Directors are appointed by individual members and the remaining 20 are elected by the Board of Governors representing the other members. The President of IBRD is ex officio Chairman of the Board of Directors of IFC.
The President is the chief of the operating staff of IFC and is appointed by the Board of Directors. Under the direction and control of the Board of Directors, the President is responsible for the organization, appointment and dismissal of the officers and staff. The authority to conduct the ordinary business of IFC is vested in the Chief Executive Officer.

THE ARTICLES OF AGREEMENT
The Articles of Agreement constitute IFC’s governing charter. They prescribe IFC’s purpose, capital structure and organization, authorize the operations in which it may engage, prescribe limitations on the carrying on of those operations and establish the status, privileges and immunities of IFC in its member countries. The Articles of Agreement also contain provisions with respect to the admission of additional members, the increase of the authorized capital stock of IFC, the terms and conditions under which IFC may invest its funds, the distribution of the net income of IFC to its members, the withdrawal and suspension of members and the suspension of operations of IFC.
Pursuant to its provisions, the Articles of Agreement may be amended only by a vote of three-fifths of the Governors exercising 85% of the total voting power (except for certain provisions the amendment of which requires the affirmative vote of all Governors).

The Articles of Agreement further provide that questions of interpretation of provisions of the Articles of Agreement arising between any member and IFC or between members of IFC shall be decided by the Board of Directors. Its decisions may be referred by any member to the Board of Governors, whose decision is final. Pending the result of such reference, IFC may act on the basis of the decision of the Board of Directors.
Copies of the full text of the Articles of Agreement are available for inspection and distribution at IFC’s head office in Washington, D.C. and are available at www.ifc.org.
LEGAL STATUS, IMMUNITIES AND PRIVILEGES
The Articles of Agreement contain provisions which accord to IFC legal status and certain immunities and privileges in the territories of each of its members, including those summarized below.
IFC has full juridical personality with capacity to make contracts, to acquire and dispose of property and to sue and be sued. Actions may be brought against IFC only in a court of competent jurisdiction in the territories of a member in which IFC has an office, has appointed an agent to accept service of process, or has issued or guaranteed securities, but no action may be brought against IFC by a member or persons acting for or deriving claims from a member.
The Governors, Directors, Alternates and the officers, and employees of IFC are immune from legal process for acts performed by them in their official capacities.
 The archives of IFC are inviolable and the property and assets of IFC are immune from seizure, attachment or execution prior to delivery of final judgment against IFC. The property and assets of IFC are also immune from search, requisition, confiscation, expropriation or any other form of seizure by executive or legislative action.
IFC, its assets, property, income and its operations and transactions authorized by the Articles of Agreement, are immune from all taxation and customs duties imposed by a member country. IFC is also immune from liability for the collection or payment of any tax or duty.
Under the Articles of Agreement, securities issued or guaranteed by IFC and the interest or dividends thereon are not subject to any tax (a) which discriminates against such securities solely because they are issued or guaranteed by IFC or (b) if the sole jurisdictional basis for the tax is the place or currency in which such securities are issued, made payable or paid, or the location of any office or place of business maintained by IFC.
IFC in its discretion may waive any of the privileges and immunities conferred under the Articles of Agreement upon such conditions as it may determine.
During FY19 Q3, the Supreme Court of the United States (Supreme Court) decided on a narrow question of US statutory  law. The US International Organizations Immunities Act (IOIA) provides certain international organizations, including IFC, with the same immunity from suit in the United States as foreign states. This statutory grant of immunity is in addition to and independent of the immunities set forth in IFC’s Articles of Agreement, as codified in a separate US statute. The Supreme Court decided that the grant of immunity under the IOIA had changed over time in line with changes in sovereign immunity, and that the IOIA now includes certain exceptions. The Supreme Court decision did not affect any of IFC’s other immunities under US law, nor did it cover other sources of IFC’s immunities under international law such as the IFC’s Articles of Agreement and the United Nations Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the Specialized Agencies. There are currently two court cases in the United States that are impacted by the Supreme Court decision. Such cases have now restarted in United States lower courts, and IFC will continue to present several defenses in both cases. See also Note Z to the FY19 consolidated financial statements.

Management’s Financial Reporting Assurance

August 8, 2019

Audit Committee of the Board of Directors
International Finance Corporation

We have reviewed the consolidated financial statements for the period ending on June 30, 2019, and the accompanying management’s discussion and analysis of the International Finance Corporation (IFC) (collectively, the “Reports”). Based on our knowledge, the Reports do not (1) contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or (2) omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by the Reports.
Based on our knowledge, the consolidated financial statements and other financial information included in the Reports fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations, changes in net assets, and cash flows of IFC for the periods presented in the Reports.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls and procedures over financial reporting for IFC. As part of carrying out these responsibilities, Management has:
designed internal controls and procedures to ensure that material information required to meet the accuracy and completeness standards set forth above with regard to the Reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner, as well as to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to Management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure; and
designed internal controls over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Management has evaluated the effectiveness of IFC’s internal controls and procedures as of the date of the Reports; and presented in management’s discussion and analysis its conclusions about the effectiveness of such controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by the Reports, based on such evaluation. Management has disclosed in the Reports any change in IFC’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by the Reports that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, IFC’s internal control over financial reporting.

Further, Management has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to IFC's external auditors and the Audit Committee of IFC's Board of Directors:
all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect IFC's ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial information; and
any fraud, whether or not material, that involves Management or other employees who have a significant role in IFC’s internal control over financial reporting.

Management's Report Regarding Effectiveness of
Internal Control over Financial Reporting

August 8, 2019

The management of the International Finance Corporation (IFC) is responsible for the preparation, integrity, and fair presentation of its published consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) and include amounts based on informed judgments and estimates made by management.
The consolidated financial statements have been audited by an independent audit firm, which was given unrestricted access to all financial records and related data, including minutes of all meetings of the Board of Directors and their Committees. Management believes that all representations made to the independent auditors during their audit of IFC's consolidated financial statements and audit of its internal control over financial reporting were valid and appropriate. The independent auditors’ reports accompany the audited consolidated financial statements.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting for financial statement presentations in conformity with US GAAP. Management maintains a comprehensive system of controls intended to ensure that transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorization, assets are safeguarded, and financial records are reliable. The system of internal control contains monitoring mechanisms, and actions are taken to correct deficiencies identified. Management believes that internal control over financial reporting supports the integrity and reliability of the external consolidated financial statements.
There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal control, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal controls may vary over time.
IFC assessed its internal control over financial reporting for financial statement presentation in conformity with US GAAP as of June 30, 2019. This assessment was based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based upon this assessment, management believes that IFC maintained effective internal control over financial reporting presented in conformity with US GAAP as of June 30, 2019. The independent audit firm that audited the consolidated financial statements has issued an Independent Auditors’ Report which expresses an opinion on IFC’s internal control over financial reporting.

Page 57




The Board of Directors has appointed an Audit Committee responsible for monitoring the accounting practices and internal controls of IFC. The Audit Committee is comprised entirely of Directors who are independent of IFC's management. The Audit Committee is responsible for recommending to the Board of Directors the selection of independent auditors. It meets periodically with management, the independent auditors, and the internal auditors to ensure that they are carrying out their responsibilities. The Audit Committee is responsible for performing an oversight role by reviewing and monitoring the financial, accounting and auditing procedures of IFC in addition to reviewing IFC's financial reports. The independent auditors and the internal auditors have full and free access to the Audit Committee, with or without the presence of management to discuss the adequacy of internal control over financial reporting and any other matters which they believe should be brought to the attention of the Audit Committee.

Independent Auditors’ Report
President and Board of Directors
International Finance Corporation:
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of the International Finance Corporation and its subsidiaries (“IFC”) as of June 30, 2019, based on the criteria established in the Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Management’s Responsibility for Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment about the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report Regarding Effectiveness of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on IFC’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
An audit of internal control over financial reporting involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about whether a material weakness exists. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks that a material weakness exists. An audit includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the assessed risk.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Definition and Inherent Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
An entity’s internal control over financial reporting is a process effected by those charged with governance, management, and other personnel, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the preparation of reliable financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. An entity’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the entity; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the entity are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and those charged with governance; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention, or timely detection and correction, of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the entity's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements. Also, projections of any assessment of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, IFC maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2019, based on the criteria established in the Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Report on Consolidated Financial Statements
We also have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in capital and cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2019 of IFC, and our report dated August 8, 2019 expressed an unmodified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




PURPOSE
The International Finance Corporation (IFC), an international organization, was established in 1956 to further economic development in its member countries by encouraging the growth of private enterprise. IFC is a member of the World Bank Group (WBG), which also comprises the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), the International Development Association (IDA), the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), and the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID). Each member is legally and financially independent. Transactions with other World Bank Group members are disclosed in the notes that follow. IFC’s activities are closely coordinated with and complement the overall development objectives of the other World Bank Group institutions. IFC, together with private investors, assists in financing the establishment, improvement and expansion of private sector enterprises by making loans, equity investments and investments in debt securities where sufficient private capital is not otherwise available on reasonable terms. IFC’s share capital is provided by its member countries. It raises most of the funds for its investment activities through the issuance of notes, bonds and other debt securities in the international capital markets. IFC also plays a catalytic role in mobilizing additional funding from other investors and lenders through parallel loans, loan participations, partial credit guarantees, securitizations, loan sales, risk sharing facilities, and fund investments through the IFC Asset Management Company, LLC and other IFC crisis initiatives. In addition to project finance and mobilization, IFC offers an array of financial and technical advisory services to private businesses in the developing world to increase their chances of success. It also advises governments on how to create an environment hospitable to the growth of private enterprise and foreign investment.
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND RELATED POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of IFC and its consolidated subsidiary as detailed in Note B. The accounting and reporting policies of IFC conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP). In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of IFC’s financial position and results of operations.
Advisory services - Funding received for IFC advisory services from governments and other donors are recognized as contribution revenue when the conditions on which they depend are substantially met. Advisory services expenses are recognized in the period incurred. Advisory client fees and administration fees are recognized as income when earned. See Notes S and U.
Functional currency - IFC’s functional currency is the United States dollar (US dollars or $).
Use of estimates - The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. A significant degree of judgment has been used in the determination of: the reserve against losses on loans and impairment of debt securities and equity investments; estimated fair values of financial instruments accounted for at fair value (including equity investments, debt securities, loans, trading securities and derivative instruments); projected benefit obligations, fair value of pension and other postretirement benefit plan assets, and net periodic pension income or expense. There are inherent risks and uncertainties related to IFC’s operations. The possibility exists that changing economic conditions could have an adverse effect on the financial position of IFC.
IFC uses internal models to determine the fair values of derivative and other financial instruments and the aggregate level of the reserve against losses on loans and impairment of equity investments. IFC undertakes continuous review and analysis of these models with the objective of refining its estimates, consistent with evolving best practices appropriate to its operations. Changes in estimates resulting from refinements in the assumptions and methodologies incorporated in the models are reflected in net income in the period in which the enhanced models are first applied.
Consolidation, non-controlling interests and variable interest entities - IFC consolidates:
i)
all majority-owned subsidiaries;
ii)
limited partnerships in which it is the general partner, unless the presumption of control is overcome by certain management participation or other rights held by minority shareholders/limited partners; and
iii)
variable interest entities (VIEs) for which IFC is deemed to be the VIE's primary beneficiary (together, consolidated subsidiaries).
Significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
An entity is a VIE if:
i)
its equity is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties;
ii)
its equity investors do not have decision-making rights about the entity's operations; or
iii)
its equity investors do not absorb the expected losses or receive the expected returns of the entity proportionally to their voting rights.
A variable interest is a contractual, ownership or other interest whose value changes as the fair value of the VIE's net assets change. IFC's variable interests in VIEs arise from financial instruments, service contracts, guarantees, leases or other monetary interests in those entities.
IFC is considered to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE if it has the power to direct the VIE's activities that most significantly impact its economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND RELATED POLICIES (continued)

Fair Value Option and Fair Value Measurements - IFC has adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820) and the Fair Value Option subsections of ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments (ASC 825 or the Fair Value Option). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels and applies to all items measured at fair value, including items for which impairment measures are based on fair value. ASC 825 permits the measurement of eligible financial assets, financial liabilities and firm commitments at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis, that are not otherwise permitted to be accounted for at fair value under other accounting standards. The election to use the Fair Value Option is available when an entity first recognizes a financial asset or liability or upon entering into a firm commitment.
The Fair Value Option
IFC has elected the Fair Value Option (FVO) for the following financial assets and financial liabilities:
i)
investees in which IFC has significant influence:
a)
direct investments in securities issued by the investee and, if IFC would have otherwise been required to apply equity method accounting, all other financial interests in the investee (e.g., loans);
b)
investments in Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs), Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) and other investment fund structures that maintain specific ownership accounts and loans or guarantees to such;
ii)
all market borrowings that are economically hedged with financial instruments that are accounted for at fair value with changes therein reported in earnings;
iii)
borrowings from IDA;
through June 30, 2018:
iv)
direct equity investments representing 20 percent or more ownership but in which IFC does not have significant influence;
v)
all equity interests in private equity funds;
vi)
certain hybrid instruments in the investment portfolio;
vii)
investments in certain debt securities that are economically hedged with financial instruments that are accounted for at fair value with changes therein reported in earnings;
effective July 1, 2018:
viii)
all investments in debt securities; and
ix)
substantially all hybrid instruments in the loan investment portfolio;
All borrowings and, through June 30, 2018, investments in debt securities for which the Fair Value Option has been elected are economically hedged with derivative or other financial instruments that are accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings as such changes occur.  Measuring at fair value those borrowings and investments for which the Fair Value Option has been elected mitigates the earnings volatility that would otherwise occur, due to measuring the borrowings and investments and related economic hedges differently, without having to apply ASC Topic 815’s, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815) complex hedge accounting requirements.
Measuring at fair value those equity investments that would otherwise require equity method accounting simplifies the accounting and renders a carrying amount on the consolidated balance sheet based on a measure (fair value) that IFC considers preferable to equity method accounting. For the investments that otherwise would require equity method accounting for which the Fair Value Option is elected, ASC 825 requires the Fair Value Option to also be applied to all eligible financial interests in the same entity. IFC has disbursed loans to certain of such investees; therefore, the Fair Value Option is also applied to those loans. IFC elected the Fair Value Option for equity investments, through June 30, 2018, with 20% or more ownership where it did not have significant influence so that the same measurement method (fair value) was applied to all equity investments with more than 20% ownership.
The FVO was elected through June 30, 2018, for certain hybrid instruments in the investment portfolio that would have otherwise required bifurcation of the host and embedded derivative. Election of the FVO for these instruments eliminated the bifurcation requirement.
The FVO has been elected for all investments in debt securities and hybrid loan instruments recognized after June 30, 2018. Among other things, measuring all investments in debt securities and hybrid loan instruments at fair value eliminates the requirement to bifurcate the host and embedded derivative that may have otherwise applied in certain instances, results in more accounting consistency across IFC’s investment portfolio and results in a measurement method that is consistent with the manner in which the portfolio is managed.
Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability (i.e., an exit price) in an orderly transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants at the measurement date assuming the transaction occurs in the entity’s principal (or most advantageous) market. Fair value must be based on assumptions market participants would use (inputs) in determining the price and measured assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest, therefore, their fair values are determined based on a transaction to sell or transfer the asset or liability on a standalone basis. Under ASC 820, fair value measurements are not adjusted for transaction costs.




 
INTERNATIONAL FINANCE CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND RELATED POLICIES (continued)

ASC 820 established a fair value hierarchy which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical unrestricted assets and liabilities (Level 1), the next highest priority to observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data from independent sources (Level 2) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data (Level 3). Fair value measurements are required to maximize the use of available observable inputs.
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.
Level 2: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1, inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. It includes quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and financial instruments that are valued using models and other valuation methodologies. These models consider various assumptions and inputs, including time value, yield curves, volatility factors, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severity and current market and contractual pricing for the underlying asset, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these inputs are observable in the market place, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which market transactions are executed.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. It consists of financial instruments whose fair value is estimated based on internally developed models or methodologies utilizing significant inputs that are non-observable. It also includes financial instruments whose fair value is estimated based on price information from independent sources that cannot be corroborated by observable market data.
IFC’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out of levels as of the end of the reporting period in which they occur.
IFC estimates the fair value of its investments in private equity funds that do not have readily determinable fair value based on the funds’ net asset values (NAVs) per share as a practical expedient to the extent that a fund reports its investment assets at fair value and has all the attributes of an investment company, pursuant to ASC Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies (ASC 946). If the NAV is not as of IFC’s measurement date, IFC adjusts the most recent NAV, as necessary, to estimate a NAV for the investment that is calculated in a manner consistent with the fair value measurement principles established by ASC 820.
Remeasurement of foreign currency transactions - Assets and liabilities not denominated in US dollars, other than disbursed equity investments, are expressed in US dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018. Disbursed equity investments, other than those accounted for at fair value, are expressed in US dollars at the prevailing exchange rates at the time of disbursement. Income and expenses are recorded based on the rates of exchange prevailing at the time of the transaction. Transaction gains and losses are credited or charged to income.
Loans - IFC originates loans to facilitate project finance, restructuring, refinancing, corporate finance, and/or other developmental objectives. Loans are recorded as assets when disbursed. Loans are generally carried at the principal amounts outstanding adjusted for net unamortized loan origination costs and fees. It is IFC’s practice to obtain collateral security such as, but not limited to, mortgages and third-party guarantees.
Certain loans are carried at fair value in accordance with the Fair Value Option as discussed above. Unrealized gains and losses on loans accounted for at fair value under the Fair Value Option are reported in Net unrealized gains and losses on non-trading financial instruments accounted for at fair value on the consolidated statement of operations.
Certain loans originated by IFC contain income participation, prepayment and conversion features. These features are bifurcated and separately accounted for in accordance with ASC 815 if IFC has not elected the Fair Value Option for the loan host contracts and the features meet the definition of a derivative and are not considered to be clearly and closely related to their host loan contracts. Otherwise, these features are accounted for as part of their host loan contracts in accordance with IFC’s accounting policies for loans as indicated herein.
Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. The excess, if any, of amortized cost over fair value is accounted for as a valuation allowance. Changes in the valuation allowance are recognized in net income as they occur.
Revenue recognition on loans - Interest income and commitment fees on loans are recorded as income on an accrual basis. Loan origination fees and direct loan origination costs are deferred and amortized over the estimated life of the originated loan; such amortization is determined using the interest method unless the loan is a revolving credit facility in which case amortization is determined using the straight-line method. Prepayment fees are recorded as income when received.
IFC does not recognize income on loans where collectability is in doubt or payments of interest or principal are past due more than 60 days unless management anticipates that collection of interest will occur in the near future. Any interest accrued on a loan placed in nonaccrual status is reversed out of income and is thereafter recognized as income only when the actual payment is received. Interest not previously recognized but capitalized as part of a debt restructuring is recorded as deferred income, included in the consolidated

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND RELATED POLICIES (continued)

balance sheet in payables and other liabilities, and credited to income only when the related principal is received. Such capitalized interest is considered in the computation of the reserve against losses on loans in the consolidated balance sheet.
Reserve against losses on loans - IFC recognizes impairment on loans not carried at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet through the reserve against losses on loans, recording a provision or release of provision for losses on loans in net income, which increases or decreases the reserve against losses on loans. Individually impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows to be received, observable market prices, or for loans that are dependent on collateral for repayment, the estimated fair value of the collateral.
The reserve against losses on loans reflects management’s estimates of both identified probable losses on individual loans (specific reserves) and probable losses inherent in the portfolio but not specifically identifiable (portfolio reserves). The determination of identified probable losses represents management’s judgment of the creditworthiness of the borrower. Reserves against losses are established through a review of individual loans undertaken on a quarterly basis. IFC considers a loan as impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that IFC will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the loan’s contractual terms. Information and events, with respect to the borrower and/or the economic and political environment in which it operates, considered in determining that a loan is impaired include, but are not limited to, the borrower’s financial difficulties, breach of contract, bankruptcy/reorganization, credit rating downgrade as well as geopolitical conflict, financial/economic crisis, commodity price decline, adverse local government action and natural disaster. Unidentified probable losses are the losses incurred at the reporting date that have not yet been specifically identified. The risks inherent in the portfolio that are considered in determining unidentified probable losses are those proven to exist by past experience and include: country systemic risk; the risk of correlation or contagion of losses between markets; uninsured and uninsurable risks; nonperformance under guarantees and support agreements; and opacity of, or misrepresentation in, financial statements.
For purposes of providing certain disclosures about IFC’s entire reserve against losses on loans, IFC considers its entire loan portfolio to comprise one portfolio segment. A portfolio segment is the level at which the method for estimating the reserve against losses on loans is developed and documented.
Loans are written-off when IFC has exhausted all possible means of recovery, by reducing the reserve against losses on loans. Such reductions in the reserve are partially offset by recoveries, if any, associated with previously written-off loans.
Equity investments - IFC invests primarily for developmental impact; IFC does not seek to take operational, controlling, or strategic equity positions within its investees. Equity investments are acquired through direct ownership of equity instruments of investees, as a limited partner in LLPs and LLCs, and/or as an investor in private equity funds.
Pursuant to Accounting Standards Update 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (ASU 2016-01) and ASC Topic 321, Investments - Equity Securities (ASC 321), effective July 1, 2018 all equity investments are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in earnings.
Through June 30, 2018, equity investments, which were listed in markets that provided readily determinable fair values, were accounted for as available-for-sale securities at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income. As noted above under “Fair Value Option and Fair Value Measurements”, direct equity investments and investments in LLPs and LLCs that maintained separate ownership accounts in which IFC had significant influence, direct equity investments representing 20 percent or more ownership but in which IFC did not have significant influence and all new equity interests in funds were accounted for at fair value under the Fair Value Option. Direct equity investments in which IFC did not have significant influence and which were not listed in markets that provided readily determinable fair values were carried at cost, less impairment.
IFC’s investments in certain private equity funds in which IFC is deemed to have a controlling financial interest, are fully consolidated by IFC, as the presumption of control by the fund manager or the general partner has been overcome. Certain equity investments, for which recovery of invested capital is uncertain, are accounted for under the cost recovery method, such that receipts are first applied to recovery of invested capital and then to income from equity investments. The cost recovery method is applied to IFC's investments in its Natural Resources unincorporated joint ventures (UJVs). IFC’s share of conditional asset retirement obligations related to investments in UJVs are recorded when the fair value of the obligations can be reasonably estimated. The obligations are capitalized and systematically amortized over the estimated economic useful lives.
Unrealized gains and losses on equity investments accounted for at fair value are reported in income from equity investments and associated derivatives on the consolidated statement of operations. Unrealized gains and losses on equity investments which were accounted for as available-for-sale were reported in other comprehensive income. Realized gains on the sale or redemption of equity investments are measured against the average cost of the investments sold. Through June 30, 2018, realized gains and losses on equity investments were recorded based on initial cash cost less write-downs; Effective July 1, 2018, realized gains and losses are recorded based on initial cash cost.
Dividends on listed equity investments are recorded on the ex-dividend date, and dividends on unlisted equity investments are recorded upon receipt of notice of declaration. Realized gains on listed equity investments are recorded upon trade date, and realized gains on

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND RELATED POLICIES (continued)

unlisted equity investments are recorded upon incurring the obligation to deliver the applicable shares. Losses are recognized when incurred.
IFC enters into put and call option and warrant agreements in connection with equity investments; these are accounted for in accordance with ASC 815 to the extent they meet the definition of a derivative. Effective July 1, 2018, such agreements that do not meet the definition of a derivative are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in earnings in accordance with ASU 2016-01 and included in “Equity investments” on the consolidated balance sheets.
Gains and losses on debt conversions and exchanges of equity interests - Loan and debt security conversions to equity interests are based on the fair value of the equity interests received. Transfers of equity interests in exchange for equity interests in other entities and other non-cash transactions are generally accounted for based on the fair value of the asset relinquished unless the fair value of the asset received is more clearly evident in which case the accounting is based on the fair value of the asset received. The difference between the fair value of the asset received and the recorded amount of the asset relinquished is recorded as a gain or loss in the consolidated statement of operations.
Impairment of equity investments - Through June 30, 2018, equity investments accounted for at cost, less impairment and available-for-sale were assessed for impairment each quarter. When impairment was identified, it was generally deemed to be other-than-temporary, and the equity investment was written down to the impaired value, which became the new cost basis in the equity investment. Such other-than-temporary impairments were recognized in net income. Subsequent increases in the fair value of available-for-sale equity investments were included in other comprehensive income, while subsequent decreases in fair value, if not other-than-temporary impairment, also were included in other comprehensive income.
Debt securities - Debt securities in the investment portfolio classified as available-for-sale are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet with unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income until realized.
Unrealized gains and losses on debt securities accounted for at fair value under the Fair Value Option are reported in “Net unrealized gains and losses on non-trading financial instruments accounted for at fair value” on the consolidated statement of operations.
IFC invests in certain debt securities with conversion features; if the hybrid instrument is not measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in earnings, these features are accounted for in accordance with ASC 815 to the extent they meet the definition of a derivative.
Impairment of debt securities - In determining whether an unrealized loss on debt securities classified as available-for-sale is other-than-temporary, IFC considers all relevant information including the length of time and the extent to which fair value has been less than amortized cost, whether IFC intends to sell the debt security or whether it is more likely than not that IFC will be required to sell the debt security, the payment structure of the obligation and the ability of the issuer to make scheduled interest or principal payments, any changes to the ratings of a security, and relevant adverse conditions specifically related to the security, an industry or geographic sector.
Debt securities in the investment portfolio classified as available-for-sale are assessed for impairment each quarter. When impairment is identified, the entire impairment is recognized in net income if (1) IFC intends to sell the security, or (2) it is more likely than not that IFC will be required to sell the security before recovery. However, if IFC does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that IFC will be required to sell the security but the security has a credit loss, the impairment charge will be separated into the credit loss component, which is recognized in net income, and the remainder which is recorded in other comprehensive income. The impaired value becomes the new amortized cost basis of the debt security. Subsequent fair value increases and decreases in the fair value of debt securities, if not an additional other-than-temporary impairment, are included in other comprehensive income.
The difference between the new amortized cost basis of debt securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment has been recognized in net income and the cash flows expected to be collected is accreted to interest income using the effective yield method. Significant subsequent increases in the expected or actual cash flows previously expected are recognized as a prospective adjustment of the yield.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND RELATED POLICIES (continued)

Guarantees - IFC extends financial guarantee facilities to its clients to provide credit enhancement for their debt securities and trade obligations. As part of these financial guarantee facilities, IFC offers partial credit guarantees to clients covering, on a risk-sharing basis, client obligations on bonds or loans. Under the terms of IFC's guarantees, IFC agrees to assume responsibility for the client’s financial obligations in the event of default by the client (i.e., failure to pay when payment is due). Guarantees are regarded as issued when IFC commits to the guarantee. Guarantees are regarded as outstanding when the underlying financial obligation of the client is incurred, and this date is considered to be the “inception” of the guarantee. Guarantees are regarded as called when IFC’s obligation under the guarantee has been invoked. There are two liabilities associated with the guarantees: (i) the stand-ready obligation to perform and (ii) the contingent liability. The fair value of the stand-ready obligation to perform is recognized at the inception of the guarantee unless a contingent liability exists at that time or is expected to exist in the near term. The contingent liability associated with the financial guarantee is recognized when it is probable the guarantee will be called and when the amount of guarantee called can be reasonably estimated. When the guarantees are called, the amount disbursed is recorded as a new loan, and specific reserves against losses are established, based on the estimated probable loss. Guarantee fees are recorded in income as the stand-ready obligation to perform is fulfilled. Commitment fees on guarantees are recorded as income on an accrual basis. All liabilities associated with guarantees are included in payables and other liabilities, and the receivables are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.
Designations of retained earnings - IFC establishes funding mechanisms for specific Board approved purposes through designations of retained earnings. Designations of retained earnings for grants to IDA are recorded as a transfer from undesignated retained earnings to designated retained earnings when the designation is noted with approval by the Board of Governors. All other designations are recorded as a transfer from undesignated retained earnings to designated retained earnings when the designation is approved by the Board of Directors. Total designations of retained earnings are determined based on IFC’s annual income before expenditures against designated retained earnings and net unrealized gains and losses on non-trading financial instruments accounted for at fair value in excess of $350 million, and contemplating the financial capacity and strategic priorities of IFC.
Expenditures resulting from such designations are recorded as expenses in IFC’s consolidated statement of operations in the year in which they are incurred and reduces the respective designated retained earnings for such purposes. Expenditures are deemed to have been incurred when IFC has ceded control of the funds to the recipient. If the recipient is deemed to be controlled by IFC, the expenditure is deemed to have been incurred only when the recipient disburses the funds to a non-related party. On occasion, recipients who are deemed to be controlled by IFC make investments. In such cases, IFC includes those assets on its consolidated balance sheet until the recipient disposes of or transfers the asset or IFC is deemed to no longer be in control of the recipient. These investments have had no material impact on IFC’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Investments resulting from such designations are recorded on IFC’s consolidated balance sheet in the year in which they occur, also having the effect of reducing the respective designated retained earnings for such purposes.
Liquid asset portfolio - The liquid asset portfolio, as defined by IFC, consists of: time deposits and securities; related derivative instruments; securities purchased under resale agreements and receivable for cash collateral pledged, securities sold under repurchase agreements and payable for cash collateral received; receivables from sales of securities and payables for purchases of securities; and related accrued income and charges. IFC’s liquid funds are invested in government, agency and government-sponsored agency obligations, time deposits and asset-backed, including mortgage-backed, securities. Government and agency obligations include positions in high quality fixed rate bonds, notes, bills, and other obligations issued or unconditionally guaranteed by governments of countries or other official entities including government agencies and instrumentalities or by multilateral organizations. Asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities include agency and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, consumer, auto and student loan-backed securities, commercial real estate collateralized debt obligations and collateralized loan obligations.
Securities and related derivative instruments within IFC’s liquid asset portfolio are classified as trading and are carried at fair value with any changes in fair value reported in income from liquid asset trading activities. Interest on securities and amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are also reported in income from liquid asset trading activities. Gains and losses realized on the sale of trading securities are computed on a specific security basis.
IFC classifies cash and due from banks and time deposits (collectively, cash and cash equivalents) as cash and as cash equivalents in the consolidated statement of cash flows because they are generally readily convertible to known amounts of cash within 90 days of acquisition generally when the original maturities for such instruments are under 90 days (or in some cases are under 180 days).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND RELATED POLICIES (continued)

Repurchase, resale and securities lending agreements - Repurchase agreements are contracts under which a party sells securities and simultaneously agrees to repurchase the same securities at a specified future date at a fixed price. Resale agreements are contracts under which a party purchases securities and simultaneously agrees to resell the same securities at a specified future date at a fixed price. Securities lending agreements are similar to repurchase agreements except that the securities loaned are securities that IFC has received as collateral under unrelated agreements and allowed by contract to rehypothecate. Amounts due under securities lending agreements are included in securities sold under repurchase agreements and payable for cash collateral received on the consolidated balance sheet.
It is IFC’s policy to take possession of securities purchased under resale agreements, which are primarily liquid government securities. The market value of these securities is monitored and, within parameters defined in the agreements, additional collateral is obtained when their value declines. IFC also monitors its exposure with respect to securities sold under repurchase agreements and, in accordance with the terms of the agreements, requests the return of excess securities held by the counterparty when their value increases.
Repurchase, resale and securities lending agreements are accounted for as collateralized financing transactions and recorded at the amount at which the securities were acquired or sold plus accrued interest.
Borrowings - To diversify its access to funding, and reduce its borrowing costs, IFC borrows in a variety of currencies and uses a number of borrowing structures, including foreign exchange rate-linked, inverse floating rate and zero coupon notes. In managing the currency exposure inherent in borrowing in a variety of currencies, generally, IFC either simultaneously converts such borrowings into variable rate US dollar borrowings through the use of currency and interest rate swap transactions or utilizes liquid asset portfolio or debt investments denominated in the same currency to economically hedge changes in the fair value of certain borrowings. Under certain outstanding borrowing agreements, IFC is not permitted to mortgage or allow a lien to be placed on its assets (other than purchase money security interests) without extending equivalent security to the holders of such borrowings. Interest on borrowings and amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are reported in charges on borrowings.
Substantially all borrowings are carried at fair value under the Fair Value Option. All changes in the fair value of such borrowings through June 30, 2018 were reported in “Net unrealized gains and losses on non-trading financial instruments accounted for at fair value” in the consolidated statement of operations. Effective July 1, 2018, in accordance with ASU 2016-01, the change in the fair value of these borrowings resulting from changes in instrument-specific credit risk is reported in other comprehensive income, while the remaining change in fair value is reported in “Net unrealized gains and losses on non-trading financial instruments accounted for at fair value” in the consolidated statement of operations.
Risk management and use of derivative instruments - IFC enters into transactions in various derivative instruments primarily for financial risk management purposes in connection with its principal business activities, including lending, investing in debt securities and equity investments, client risk management, borrowing, liquid asset portfolio management and asset and liability management. There are no derivatives designated as accounting hedges.
All derivative instruments are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value as derivative assets or derivative liabilities. Where they are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, certain derivative instruments embedded in loans, debt securities and equity investments are bifurcated from the host contract and recorded at fair value as derivative assets or liabilities unless the hybrid instrument is accounted for at fair value with any changes in fair value reported in income. The fair value at inception of such embedded derivatives is excluded from the carrying amount of the host contracts on the consolidated balance sheet. Changes in fair values of derivative instruments used in the liquid asset portfolio are recorded in income from liquid asset trading activities. Changes in fair values of derivative instruments other than those in the liquid asset portfolio and those associated with equity investments are recorded in net unrealized gains and losses on non-trading financial instruments accounted for at fair value. The risk management policy for each of IFC’s principal business activities and the accounting policies particular to them are described below.
Lending activities IFC’s policy is to closely match the currency, interest rate basis, and maturity of its loans and borrowings. Derivative instruments are used to convert the cash flows from fixed rate US dollar or non-US dollar loans into variable rate US dollars.
Client risk management activities IFC enters into derivatives transactions with its clients to help them hedge their own currency, interest rate, or commodity risk, which, in turn, improves the overall quality of IFC’s loan portfolio. To hedge the market risks that arise from these transactions with clients, IFC enters into offsetting derivative transactions with matching terms with authorized market counterparties. Changes in fair value of all derivatives associated with these activities are reported in net income in net unrealized gains and losses on non-trading financial instruments accounted for at fair value.
Borrowing activities IFC issues debt securities in various capital markets with the objectives of minimizing its borrowing costs, diversifying funding sources, and developing member countries’ capital markets, sometimes using complex structures. These structures include borrowings payable in multiple currencies, or borrowings with principal and/or interest determined by reference to a specified index such as a stock market index, a reference interest rate, a commodity index, or one or more foreign exchange rates. IFC generally uses derivative instruments with matching terms, primarily currency and interest rate swaps, to convert certain of such borrowings into variable rate US dollar obligations, consistent with IFC’s matched funding policy. IFC elects to carry at fair value, under the Fair Value Option, all market borrowings for which a derivative instrument, liquid asset portfolio investment or debt investment is used to create an economic hedge.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND RELATED POLICIES (continued)

Changes in the fair value of such borrowings and the associated derivatives are reported in net unrealized gains and losses on non-trading financial instruments accounted for at fair value in the consolidated statement of operations.
Liquid asset portfolio management activities IFC manages the interest rate, currency and other market risks associated with certain of the time deposits and securities in its liquid asset portfolio by entering into derivative transactions to convert the cash flows from those instruments into variable rate US dollars or by utilizing market borrowings denominated in the same currency to economically hedge changes in the fair value of certain liquid asset portfolio investments. The derivative instruments used include short-term, over-the-counter foreign exchange forwards (covered forwards), interest rate and currency swaps, and exchange-traded interest rate futures and options. As the entire liquid asset portfolio is classified as trading portfolio, all securities (including derivatives) are carried at fair value with changes in fair value reported in income from liquid asset trading activities.
Asset and liability management In addition to the risk managed in the context of its business activities detailed above, IFC faces residual market risk in its overall asset and liability management. Residual currency risk is managed by monitoring the aggregate position in each lending currency and reducing the net excess asset or liability position through sales or purchases of currency. Interest rate risk arising from mismatches due to write-downs, prepayments and re-schedulings, and residual reset date mismatches is monitored by measuring the sensitivity of the present value of assets and liabilities in each currency to each basis point change in interest rates.
IFC monitors the credit risk associated with these activities by careful assessment and monitoring of prospective and actual clients and counterparties. In respect of liquid assets and derivatives transactions, credit risk is managed by establishing exposure limits based on the credit rating and size of the individual counterparty. In addition, IFC has entered into master agreements with its derivative market counterparties governing derivative transactions that contain close-out and netting provisions and collateral arrangements. Under these agreements, if the credit exposure to one of the parties to the agreement, on a mark-to-market basis, exceeds a specified level, that party must post collateral to cover the excess, generally in the form of liquid government securities or cash. IFC does not offset the fair value amounts of derivatives and obligations to return, or rights to receive, cash collateral associated with these master-netting agreements.
Loan participations - IFC mobilizes funds from commercial banks and other financial institutions (Participants) by facilitating loan participations, without recourse. These loan participations are administered and serviced by IFC on behalf of the Participants. The disbursed and outstanding balances of loan participations that meet the applicable accounting criteria are accounted for as sales and are not included in IFC’s consolidated balance sheet. All other loan participations are accounted for as secured borrowings and are included in loans on IFC’s consolidated balance sheet, with the related secured borrowings included in payables and other liabilities on IFC’s consolidated balance sheet.
Pension and other postretirement benefits - IBRD sponsors a Staff Retirement Plan (SRP), a Retired Staff Benefits Plan (RSBP) and a Post-Employment Benefits Plan (PEBP) that are defined benefit plans and cover substantially all of its staff members as well as the staff of IFC and of MIGA.
The SRP provides regular pension benefits and includes a cash balance plan. The RSBP provides certain health and life insurance benefits to eligible retirees. The PEBP provides pension benefits administered outside the SRP. All costs associated with these plans are allocated between IBRD, IFC, and MIGA based upon their employees’ respective participation in the plans. In addition, IFC and MIGA reimburse IBRD for their share of any contributions made to these plans by IBRD.
In accordance with ASU 2017-07, the service cost component of the net periodic benefit costs allocated to IFC is included in “Administrative expenses” in the consolidated statement of operations. The remaining components of the net periodic benefit costs allocated to IFC are included in “Other pension cost” in the consolidated statement of operations. IFC includes a receivable from IBRD in receivables and other assets, representing prepaid pension and other postretirement benefit costs.
Recently adopted accounting standards - In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01. ASU 2016-01 requires all investments in equity securities to be accounted for at fair value through net income (except investments accounted for under the equity method and those that result in consolidation of the investee), and separate presentation in other comprehensive income (OCI) the portion of the total change in fair value resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure a liability at fair value under the FVO. Given the magnitude of its investments in equity securities and the inherent volatility of prices for equity securities, the adoption of ASU 2016-01 introduced and will continue to cause a significant volatility in IFC’s reported net earnings. IFC adopted this ASU on July 1, 2018 by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the consolidated balance sheet, and a summary of the impact is listed below:

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09). ASU 2014-09 replaces most existing revenue recognition guidance by establishing a single recognition model for revenue arising from contracts with customers to deliver goods and services and requires additional disclosure regarding those revenues - it does not change current accounting guidance for derivative contracts, investments in and transfers of financial instruments or guarantees. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), that amends ASU 2014-09’s principal-versus-agent guidance. It requires a reporting entity to evaluate whether it is a principal or agent for each specified good or service in a contract with a customer and clarifies the application of the related indicators in accordance with ASU 2014-09’s control principle. ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2016-08 are currently applicable for annual reporting periods and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017 (which is the year ending June 30, 2019 for IFC). IFC adopted ASU 2016-08 and ASU 2014-09 effective July 1, 2018 with no material impact on IFC’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (ASU 2017-07). ASU 2017-07 requires an entity to report the service cost component of net periodic benefit costs in the same line item as other compensation costs. The other components of net periodic benefit cost are required to be presented in the statement of operations separately from the service cost component, and are not eligible for capitalization. For IFC, this ASU became effective from the quarter ended September 30, 2018. Given the immateriality of the amounts subject to reclassification under the ASU, IFC has applied the requirements prospectively from the quarter ended September 30, 2018.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-08, Clarifying the Scope and Accounting Guidance for Contributions made and Contributions Received (ASU 2018-08).  ASU 2018-08 provides guidance to assist entities in evaluating whether transactions are contributions and whether a contribution is conditional.  ASU 2018-08 is effective for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods (which is the year ended June 30, 2019 for IFC). IFC adopted ASU 2018-08 effective July 1, 2018 with no material impact on IFC’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (ASU 2016-05). In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (ASU 2016-08). ASU 2016-15 and ASU 2016-18 clarify guidance in ASC 230. IFC adopted ASU 2016-15 and ASU 2016-18 effective July 1, 2018 with no material impact on IFC’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Accounting standards and regulations under evaluation - In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (ASU 2016-02). ASU 2016-02 introduces a new accounting model that will result in lessees recording most leases on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within the fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, (which is the year ending June 30, 2020 for IFC). ASU 2016-02 is not expected to have a material impact on IFC’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13). ASU 2016-13 requires the measurement of estimated credit losses on financial instruments held at the balance sheet date based on historical loss experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. Contrary to the incurred impairment loss accounting model currently in place, this forward-looking approach is intended to result in the immediate recognition of all estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of the instruments. The resulting allowance for current expected credit losses reduces the amortized cost basis of a financial asset to an amount expected to be collected. For future periods which cannot be forecasted in a reasonable and supportable manner, the reporting entity will revert to historical loss experience. Although ASU 2016-13 does not prescribe a specific methodology, it requires a collective assessment for financial assets with similar risk characteristics. Credit losses for financial assets that do not share similar risk characteristics with other financial assets will be measured individually. Impairment

of investments in available-for-sale debt securities will be recognized via the allowance method, which allows for reversals of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 (which is the year ending June 30, 2021 for IFC). IFC is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13.
In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments (ASU 2019-04). ASU 2019-04 amends its standards on Credit Losses, Derivatives and Hedging, and Financial Instruments to address implementation issues. The amendments clarify the scope of the Credit Losses standard and address issues related to accrued interest receivable balances, recoveries, variable interest rates and prepayments. With respect to Hedge Accounting, the amendments address partial-term fair value hedges and fair value hedge basis adjustments. The amendments to the Credit Losses and Hedging standards have the same effective dates as those original standards (that are the year ending June 30, 2021 and the year ending June 30, 2020, respectively for IFC). The amendments to Financial Instruments recognition and measurement guidance are effective for fiscal years beginning after 15 December 2019 (which is the year ending June 30, 2021 for IFC). IFC is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2019-04.
In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief (ASU 2019-05). ASU 2019-05 provides transition relief for entities adopting ASU 2016-13 Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments in ASU 2019-05 allow entities to elect the fair value option on certain financial instruments. ASU 2019-05 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 (which is the year ending June 30, 2021 for IFC). IFC is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2019-05.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities (ASU 2017-08). ASU 2017-08 shortens the amortization period for certain investments in callable debt securities purchased at a premium by requiring the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. ASU 2017-08 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018 (which is the year ending June 30, 2020 for IFC). ASU 2017-08 is not expected to have a material impact on IFC’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (ASU 2018-13). ASU 2018-13 amends the fair value disclosure requirements to include: (a) the amount of gain or loss for the period included in other comprehensive income attributable to fair value changes in Level 3 assets or liabilities, and (b) for Level 3 fair value measurements, the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs and the method of calculating the weighted average. Existing fair value disclosure requirements eliminated by ASU 2018-13 include: (a) the amounts and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and (b) the policy for determining when transfers between fair value measurement Levels occur. ASU 2018-13 modifies existing fair value disclosure requirements by (a) requiring a narrative description of the uncertainty of fair value measurements from the use of significant unobservable inputs if those inputs reasonable could have been different at reporting date, and (b) requiring disclosure of the estimate of the timing of liquidation events for investments measured using the Net Asset Value practical expedient only if such information has been communicated to the investor or announced publicly by the investee. ASU 2018-13 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019 (which is the year ending Jun 30, 2021 for IFC). Early adoption is permitted. The amendments that result in additional requirements and the narrative description with respect to uncertainty must be applied prospectively. All other amendments must be retrospectively applied to all periods presented.

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND RELATED POLICIES (continued)

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans (ASU 2018-14). ASU 2018-14 amends the disclosure requirements for defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans. The added disclosures include the weighted-average interest crediting rates used in the reporting entity’s cash balance pension plans and a narrative description for the reasons for significant gains or losses affecting the benefit obligation and any other significant changes in the benefit obligations or plan assets during the period that are not otherwise apparent in the other required disclosures. The disclosures removed include, among other things, the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized as part of net periodic benefit costs over the next year and the effects of a one-percent change in the assumed health care costs on service cost, interest cost, and the postretirement benefit obligation. ASU 2018-14 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020 (which is the year ending June 30, 2021 for IFC). Earlier adoption is permitted.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software: Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract (ASU 2018-15). ASU 2018-15 amends ASC 350-40 to address a customer’s accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. The guidance will be effective for IFC from the quarter ending September 30, 2020. IFC is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2018-15.
In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-17, Consolidation: Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities (ASU 2018-17). ASU 2018-17 amends the guidance for how a decision maker or service provider must determine whether its fee is a variable interest in a VIE when a related party also has an interest in the VIE. Under the amendment, the decision maker must consider interests held be its related parties on a proportionate basis when determining if such interests could absorb more than an insignificant amount of the VIE’s variability. Current guidance requires the decision maker to consider such interests in their entirety. ASU 2018-17 is effective for annual periods (and interim periods within those annual periods) beginning after December 15, 2019 (which is the year ending June 30, 2021 for IFC). ASU 2018-17 is not expected to have a material impact on IFC’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
During the year ended June 30, 2019, the FASB issued and/or approved various other ASUs. IFC analyzed and implemented the new guidance, as appropriate, with no material impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of IFC.

Loan Credit Quality Indicators
IFC utilizes a rating system to classify loans according to credit worthiness and risk. In the three months ended March 31, 2017 (FY17 Q3), IFC implemented a new rating system, replacing its previous rating system. A description of each credit rating and categorization in terms of the attributes of the borrower, the business environment in which the borrower operates or the loan itself under the new rating system follows:
Credit Risk Rating
Indicative External Rating
Category
Description
CR-1
AAA, AA+, AA, AA-
Very Strong
An obligor rated CR-1 is the highest rating assigned by IFC. The obligor's ability to meet its financial obligations is very strong.
CR-2
A+, A, A-
Strong
An obligor rated CR-2 is slightly more susceptible to the negative effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligors rated CR-1. The obligor's ability to meet its financial obligations remains strong.
CR-3
BBB+
Adequate
An obligor rated CR-3 exhibits an adequate financial profile, even though at a weaker level than 'CR-1' and 'CR-2'.
CR-4
BBB
An obligor rated CR-4 exhibits an adequate financial profile. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a deterioration of the obligor’s ability to meet its financial obligations.
CR-5
BBB-
An obligor rated CR-5, as the lowest of the investment grade ratings, exhibits an adequate financial profile. However, adverse economic conditions and/or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weaker financial profile and a deterioration of the obligor’s ability to meet its financial obligations.
CR-6
BB+
Moderate
An obligor rated CR-6, as the first non-investment grade rating, is less vulnerable to default than other non-investment obligors.
CR-7
BB
An obligor rated CR-7 can face major uncertainties. Exposure to negative business, financial, or economic conditions could lead to the obligor's insufficient financial profile and a deterioration of the obligor’s ability to meet its financial obligations.
CR-8
BB-
An obligor rated CR-8 faces major ongoing uncertainties. Exposure to negative business, financial, or economic conditions could lead to the obligor's insufficient financial profile and a deterioration of the obligor’s ability to meet its financial obligations.
CR-9
B+
Weak
An obligor rated CR-9 is less vulnerable to default than obligors rated 'CR-10’ or ‘CR-11'. Significantly negative business, financial, or economic conditions will likely weaken the obligor's financial profile and ability to meet its financial obligations.
CR-10
B
An obligor rated CR-10 is more vulnerable to default than obligors rated 'CR-9’ but the obligor still has the capacity to meet its financial obligations. Negative business, financial, or economic conditions will likely weaken the obligor's financial profile and ability to meet its financial obligations.
CR-11
B-
An obligor rated CR-11 is more vulnerable to default than obligors rated 'CR-9’ or ‘CR-10’. The obligor still has the capacity to meet its obligations but slightly negative business, financial, or economic conditions are more likely to weaken the obligor's financial profile and ability to meet its financial obligations than a company rated CR-10.
CR-12
CCC+
Very Weak/ Special Attention
An obligor rated CR-12 faces significant challenges. While such obligors will likely have some positive characteristics, these may be outweighed by large uncertainties or major exposures to adverse conditions. The obligor is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions to meet its financial obligations
CR-13
CCC
Very Weak /Substandard
An obligor rated CR-13 is currently vulnerable to default, and is dependent upon significantly favorable business, financial, and economic conditions to meet its financial obligations. In the event of negative business, financial, or economic conditions, the obligor is not likely to meet its financial obligations and rescheduling and/or restructuring is likely to be required.
CR-14
CCC-
Extremely Weak /Doubtful
An obligor rated CR-14 is highly vulnerable to default. It is highly likely that a rescheduling and/or restructuring are required without which a default under IFC’s accounting definition would ensue. In some cases, even though default has not occurred yet, cash flow may be insufficient to service debt in full.
CR-15
Worse than CCC- and D
Imminent Default
/Default
An obligor rated CR-15 is currently extremely vulnerable to nonpayment and there are indications that the next payment will not be made before meeting IFC’s accounting definition of default.
D
An obligor rated D is in payment default according to IFC’s accounting definition of default.

Loan modifications, including past due amounts capitalized and written off, during the year ended June 30, 2019 considered troubled debt restructurings totaled $307 million ($208 million – year ended June 30, 2018). There were two loans that defaulted during the year ended June 30, 2019 that had been modified in a troubled debt restructuring within 12 months prior to the date of default with an outstanding balance of $42 million (two loans defaulted during the year ended June 30, 2018, with an outstanding balance of $13 million).
Guarantees
IFC extends financial guarantee facilities to its clients to provide full or partial credit enhancement for their debt securities and trade obligations. Under the terms of IFC’s guarantees, IFC agrees to assume responsibility for the client’s financial obligations in the event of default by the client, where default is defined as failure to pay when payment is due. Guarantees entered into by IFC generally have maturities consistent with those of the loan portfolio. Guarantees signed at June 30, 2019 totaled $4,017 million ($4,809 million – June 30, 2018). Guarantees of $2,899 million that were outstanding (i.e., not called) at June 30, 2019 ($4,096 million – June 30, 2018), were not included in loans on IFC’s consolidated balance sheet. The outstanding amount represents the maximum amount of undiscounted future payments that IFC could be required to make under these guarantees.

Corporate debt securities comprise investments in bonds and notes. Fair value associated with corporate debt securities is primarily attributable to movements in the credit default swap spread curve applicable to the issuer, and also impacted by movements in the risk-free rates and foreign currency exchange rates. Based upon IFC’s assessment of expected credit losses, IFC has determined that the issuer is expected to make all contractual principal and interest payments. Accordingly, IFC expects to recover the cost basis of these securities.
Preferred shares comprise investments in preferred equity investments that are redeemable at the option of IFC or mandatorily redeemable by the issuer. Unrealized losses associated with preferred shares are primarily driven by changes in discount rates associated with changes in credit spreads or interest rates, minor changes in exchange rates and comparable market valuations in the applicable sector. Based upon IFC’s assessment of the expected credit losses, IFC expects to recover the cost basis of these securities.
Debt securities with contractual maturities that are accounted for as available-for-sale have contractual maturities during the years ending June 30, 2020 through June 30, 2024 and thereafter, as follows (US$ millions):

* Including unrealized gains and losses related to equity securities still held at June 30, 2019 - net losses of $670 million for the year ended June 30, 2019.
Equity investments include private equity funds that invest primarily in emerging markets across a range of sectors and that are accounted for at fair value under the Fair Value Option. The fair values of these funds have been determined using the net asset value of IFC’s ownership interest in partners’ capital as a practical expedient and totaled $4,191 million as of June 30, 2019 ($3,960 million - June 30, 2018). These investments cannot be redeemed. Instead distributions are received through the liquidation of the underlying assets of the funds. IFC estimates that the underlying assets of the funds will be liquidated over five to eight years. As of June 30, 2019, the maximum unfunded commitments subject to capital calls for these funds are $1,121 million ($1,334 million - June 30, 2018). As of June 30, 2019, IFC invested $840 million as a limited partner in funds managed by AMC (IFC’s fully owned subsidiary). The sale of IFC’s limited partner interests in these funds needs prior consent from the other limited partners.

NOTE M – CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS
During the year ended June 30, 2019, 520 shares, at a par value of $1,000 each were subscribed and paid by a new member country (no shares were subscribed or paid by member countries during the years ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017).
Under IFC’s Articles of Agreement, in the event a member withdraws from IFC, IFC and the member may negotiate on the repurchase of the member’s capital stock on such terms as may be appropriate under the circumstances. Such agreement may provide, among other things, for a final settlement of all obligations of the member to IFC. If such an agreement is not made within six months after the member withdraws or such other time as IFC and the member may agree, the repurchase price of the member’s capital stock shall be the value thereof shown by the books of IFC on the day when the member withdraws. The repurchase of capital stock is subject to certain conditions including payments in installments, at such times and in such available currency or currencies as IFC reasonably determines, taking into account the financial position of IFC. IFC’s Articles of Agreement also provide for the withdrawing member to repay losses on loans and equity investments in excess of reserves provided on the date of withdrawal.

On August 9, 2018, the Board of Directors approved a designation of $70 million of IFC’s retained earnings for IFC’s Creating Markets Advisory Window (CMAW), $45 million of IFC’s retained earnings for advisory services, and a designation of up to $115 million of IFC’s retained earnings for grants to IDA. The transfer of funds to IDA are subject to certain conditions, including capping transfers during a fiscal year at IFC’s Net Income, if any, for the year ended June 30 of that fiscal year. On October 12, 2018, the Board of Governors noted with approval the designations approved by the Board of Directors. IFC recognizes designation of retained earnings for advisory services and CMAW when the Board of Directors approves it and recognizes designation of retained earnings for grants to IDA when it is noted with approval by the Board of Governors.

In FY19, IFC did not recognize expenditures against designations of retained earnings for grants to IDA and the actual transfer was deferred to next fiscal year due to the net loss IFC had for the first nine months ended March 31, 2019.

* As discussed in Note A, “Summary of significant accounting and related policies”, effective July 1, 2018, the portion of the change in fair value of borrowings under the FVO resulting from the change of IFC’s own credit risk is recorded in other comprehensive income. In prior periods, these amounts were recognized in net income.
Market borrowings economically hedged with financial instruments, including derivatives, accounted for at fair value with changes therein reported in earnings are accounted for at fair value under the Fair Value Option. Differences arise between the movement in the fair value of market borrowings and the fair value of the associated derivatives primarily due to the different credit characteristics. The change in fair value includes the impact of changes in IFC’s own credit spread. As credit spreads widen, unrealized gains occur and when such credit spreads narrow, unrealized losses occur (notwithstanding the impact of other factors, such as changes in risk-free interest and foreign currency exchange rates). The magnitude and direction (gain or loss) can be volatile from period to period but they do not alter the timing of the cash flows on the market borrowings.
Changes in fair value resulting from changes in IFC’s own credit risk were estimated by incorporating the IFC’s current credit spreads observable in the bond markets into the relevant valuation technique used to value each liability as described in Note R.

NOTE Q – DERIVATIVES


As discussed in Note A, “Summary of significant accounting and related policies”, IFC enters into transactions in various derivative instruments for financial risk management purposes in connection with its principal business activities, including lending, investing in debt securities, equity investments, client risk management, borrowing, liquid asset management and asset and liability management. None of these derivative instruments are designated as hedging instruments under ASC Topic 815. Note A describes IFC’s risk management and use of derivative instruments.
The fair value of derivative instrument assets and liabilities by risk type at June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 is summarized as follows (US$ millions):

The income related to each derivative risk category includes realized and unrealized gains and losses.
At June 30, 2019, the outstanding volume, measured by US$ equivalent notional, of interest rate contracts was $51,273 million ($57,960 million at June 30, 2018), foreign exchange contracts was $21,509 million ($21,279 million at June 30, 2018) and interest rate and currency contracts was $43,225 million ($38,267 million at June 30, 2018). At June 30, 2019, there were 187 equity contracts related to IFC’s loan and equity investment portfolio and no other derivative contract recognized as derivatives assets or liabilities under ASC Topic 815 (353 equity risk and other contracts at June 30, 2018).
NOTE R – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Many of IFC’s financial instruments are not actively traded in any market. Accordingly, estimates and present value calculations of future cash flows are used to estimate the fair values. Determining future cash flows for fair value estimation is subjective and imprecise, and minor changes in assumptions or methodologies may materially affect the estimated values. The excess or deficit resulting from the difference between the carrying amounts and the fair values presented does not necessarily reflect the values which will ultimately be realized, since IFC generally holds loans, borrowings and other financial instruments with contractual maturities with the aim of realizing their contractual cash flows.
The estimated fair values as of June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 reflect multiple factors such as interest rates, credit risk, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Reasonable comparability of fair values among financial institutions is not likely because of the wide range of permitted valuation techniques and numerous estimates that must be made in the absence of secondary market prices. This lack of objective pricing standard in the market introduces a greater degree of subjectivity and volatility to these derived or estimated

NOTE R – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

fair values. Therefore, while disclosure of estimated fair values of financial instruments is required, readers are cautioned in using these data for purposes of evaluating the financial condition of IFC. The fair values of the individual financial instruments do not represent the fair value of IFC taken as a whole.
All of IFC’s financial instruments in its liquid assets portfolio are managed according to an investment authority approved by the Board of Directors and investment guidelines approved by IFC’s Corporate Risk Committee, a subcommittee of IFC’s Management Team. Third party independent vendor prices are used to price the vast majority of the liquid assets. The vendor prices are evaluated by IFC’s Treasury department and IFC’s Corporate and Portfolio Risk Management department maintains oversight for the pricing of liquid assets.
IFC’s regional and industry departments are primarily responsible for fair valuing IFC’s investment portfolio (equity investments, debt securities, loan investments and related derivatives). The Investment Valuation Unit in IFC's Corporate Risk Management department in the Risk and Finance Vice Presidency provides oversight over the fair valuation process by monitoring and reviewing the fair values of IFC’s investment portfolio. IFC's Corporate Portfolio Committee, a subcommittee of IFC’s management team, is also responsible for oversight of portfolio valuations.
IFC’s borrowings are fair valued by the Quantitative Analysis department in IFC’s Treasury and Syndications Vice Presidency under the oversight of the Corporate Risk Management department.
The methodologies used and key assumptions made to estimate fair values as of June 30, 2019, and June 30, 2018, are summarized below.
Liquid assets - The primary pricing source for the liquid assets is valuations obtained from external pricing services (vendor prices). The most liquid securities in the liquid asset portfolio are exchange traded futures, options, and US Treasuries. US Treasuries and US Government agency bonds are classified as Level 1. The remaining liquid assets valued using vendor prices are classified as Level 2 or Level 3 based on the results of IFC’s evaluation of the vendor’s pricing methodologies and individual security facts and circumstances. Most vendor prices use some form of matrix pricing methodology to derive the inputs for projecting cash flows or to derive prices. When vendor prices are not available, liquid assets are valued internally by IFC using yield-pricing approach or comparables model approach and these are classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the degree that the inputs are observable in the market.
The critical factors in valuing liquid assets in both Level 2 and Level 3 are the estimation of cash flows and yield. Other significant inputs for valuing corporate securities, quasi-government securities and sovereign or sovereign-guaranteed securities include reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, benchmark securities, option adjusted spread curve, volatilities, and other reference data. In addition to these inputs, valuation models for securitized or collateralized securities use collateral performance inputs, such as weighted average coupon rate, weighted average maturity, conditional prepayment rate, constant default rate, vintage, and credit enhancements.
Loans and debt securities - Loans and debt securities in IFC’s investment portfolio that do not have available market prices are primarily valued using discounted cash flow approaches. The majority of loans measured at fair value are classified as Level 3. Certain loans contain embedded conversion and/or income participation features. If not bifurcated as standalone derivatives, these features are considered in determining the loans’ fair value based on the quoted market prices or other calculated values of the equity investments into which the loans are convertible and the discounted cash flows of the income participation features. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of loans and debt securities are discount rates, credit default swap spreads, and expected recovery rates. The valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs for available-for-sale debt securities classified as Level 3 as of June 30, 2019 and for loans and debt securities classified as Level 3 as of June 30, 2018 are presented below respectively:

As of June 30, 2019, IFC had bond issuances with a total fair value of $83 million classified as level 3 in Kazakhstan tenge
and Uzbekistan sum
where the significant unobservable inputs were yield curve data. As of June 30, 2019, the weighted average effective interest rate on medium and long-term borrowings carried at amortized cost was 6.7% and the effective interest rate on short-term borrowings carried at amortized cost was 2.8%.
Derivative instruments – The various classes of derivative instruments include interest rate contracts, foreign exchange contracts, interest rate and currency contracts, equity contracts and other derivative contracts. Certain over the counter derivatives in the liquid asset portfolio priced in-house are classified as Level 2, while certain over the counter derivatives priced using external manager prices are classified as Level 3. Fair values for derivative instruments are derived by determining the present value of estimated future cash flows using appropriate discount rates and option specific models where appropriate.
The significant inputs used in valuing the various classes of derivative instruments classified as Level 2 and significant unobservable inputs for derivative instruments classified as Level 3 as of June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 are presented below:

** Through June 30, 2018, Other investment-related financial assets comprise standalone options and warrants that did not meet the definition of a derivative. Effective July 1, 2018, these equity-related financial instruments are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in earnings in accordance with ASU 2016-01 and included in Equity investments on the consolidated balance sheets.
The fair value of loan commitments amounted to $39 million at June 30, 2019 ($40 million - June 30, 2018). Fair values of loan commitments are based on present value of loan commitment fees.

IFC reassessed market data inputs for estimating whether its trading securities, debt securities, and borrowings are traded in an active market as defined by ASC 820. Based on market data as of June 30, 2019, trading securities (except US Treasuries and Agency securities), debt securities, and borrowings were transferred from level 1 to level 2.
* Includes securities priced at par plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value.
** Includes discount notes (not under the short-term Discount Note Program), with original maturities greater than one year, with principal due at maturity of $5,571 million, with a fair value of $2,233 million as of June 30, 2019.
*** In accordance with ASC 820, investments that are measured at fair value using net asset value per share have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in consolidated balance sheet.
Note: For the year ended June 30, 2019: Trading securities with a fair value of $5,149 million were transferred from level 1 to level 2 and $12 million from level 2 to level 1 due to decrease/increase in market activities and reassessment of market data inputs. Equity investments with fair value of $119 million were transferred from level 1 to level 2 and $112 million from level 2 to level 1 due to decrease/increase in market activities. Debt securities with a fair value of $417 million and bonds issued by IFC with a fair value of $28,326 million were transferred from level 1 to level 2 due to reassessment of market data inputs. There were no bonds or debt securities transferred from level 2 to level 1.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE S - SEGMENT REPORTING

For management purposes, IFC’s business comprises three segments: investment services, treasury services and advisory services. The investment services segment consists primarily of lending and investing in debt and equity securities. The investment services segment also includes AMC, which is not separately disclosed due to its immaterial impact. Further information about the impact of AMC on IFC’s consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations can be found in Note B. Operationally, the treasury services segment consists of the borrowing, liquid asset management, asset and liability management and client risk management activities. Advisory services provide consultation services to governments and the private sector. Consistent with internal reporting, net income or expense from asset and liability management and client risk management activities in support of investment services is allocated from the treasury segment to the investment services segment.
The performance of investment services, treasury services and advisory services is assessed by senior management on the basis of net income for each segment, return on assets, and return on capital employed. Advisory services are primarily assessed based on the level and adequacy of its funding sources (See Note U). IFC’s management reporting system and policies are used to determine revenues and expenses attributable to each segment. Consistent with internal reporting, administrative expenses are allocated to each segment based largely upon personnel costs and segment headcounts. Transactions between segments are immaterial and, thus, are not a factor in reconciling to the consolidated data.
The assets of the investment, treasury, and advisory services segments are detailed in Notes C, D, and U, respectively. An analysis of IFC’s major components of income and expense by business segment for the years ended June 30, 2019, June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, is provided below (US$ millions):

NOTE T – VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
Significant variable interests
IFC has identified investments in 223 VIEs which are not consolidated by IFC but in which it is deemed to hold significant variable interests at June 30, 2019 (215 investments - June 30, 2018).
The majority of these VIEs do not involve securitizations or other types of structured financing. IFC is usually the minority investor in these VIEs. These VIEs are mainly: (a) investment funds, where the general partner or fund manager does not have substantive equity at risk, which IFC does not consolidate because it does not have the power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact their economic performance and (b) entities whose total equity investment is considered insufficient to permit such entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or whose activities are so narrowly defined by contracts that equity investors are considered to lack decision making ability, which IFC does not consolidate because it does not have the power to control the activities that most significantly impact their economic performance. IFC’s involvement with these VIEs includes investments in equity interests and senior or subordinated interests, guarantees and risk management arrangements. IFC’s interests in these VIEs are recorded on IFC’s consolidated balance sheet primarily in equity investments, loans, debt securities, and other liabilities, as appropriate.
Based on the most recent available data of these VIEs, the balance sheet size, including committed funding, in which IFC is deemed to hold significant variable interests, totaled $36,698 million at June 30, 2019 ($36,579 million - June 30, 2018). IFC’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its investments in these VIEs, comprising both carrying value of investments and amounts committed but not yet disbursed, was $5,911 million at June 30, 2019 ($5,603 million - June 30, 2018).
IFC transacted with a VIE, of which IFC is the primary beneficiary, to construct an office building at 2100 K Street on land owned by IFC adjacent to its current office premise. IFC commenced occupying the building in March 2019. The building and land, totaling $126 million are included in Receivables and other assets on IFC's consolidated balance sheet.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE U – ADVISORY SERVICES


IFC provides advisory services to government and private sector clients. IFC's advisory services to governments on investment climate and financial sector development are delivered in partnership with IBRD through WBG Global Practices. IFC funds this business line by a combination of cash received from government and other donors and IFC’s operations via retained earnings and operating budget allocations as well as fees received from the recipients of the services.
IFC administers donor funds through trust funds. Donor funds are restricted for purposes specified in agreements with the donors.
Donor funds under administration and IFC’s funding can be commingled in accordance with administration agreements with donors. The commingled funds are held in a separate liquid asset investment portfolio managed by IBRD, which is not commingled with IFC’s other liquid assets and is reported at fair value in other assets. Donor funds are refundable until expended for their designated purpose.
As of June 30, 2019, other assets include undisbursed donor funds of $484 million ($511 million - June 30, 2018) and IFC’s advisory services funding of $311 million ($234 million - June 30, 2018). Included in other liabilities as of June 30, 2019 is $484 million ($511 million - June 30, 2018) of refundable undisbursed donor funds.
NOTE V – PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
IBRD, IFC and MIGA participate in a defined benefit Staff Retirement Plan (SRP), a Retired Staff Benefits Plan and Trust (RSBP) and a Post-Employment Benefits Plan (PEBP) that cover substantially all of their staff members.
All costs, assets and liabilities associated with these plans are allocated between IBRD, IFC and MIGA based upon their employees’ respective participation in the plans. Costs allocated to IBRD are then shared between IBRD and IDA based on an agreed cost-sharing ratio.
The following table summarizes the benefit costs associated with the SRP, RSBP, and PEBP allocated to IFC for the years ended June 30, 2019, June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017 (US$ millions). The components of net periodic pension cost, other than the service cost component, are included in “Pension and other postretirement benefit plans” in the consolidated statement of operations. For the year ended June 30, 2019, the service costs of $238 million are included in “Administrative expenses”.

The following table summarizes the Projected Benefit Obligations (PBO), fair value of plan assets, and funded status associated with the SRP, RSBP and PEBP for IFC for the years ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 (US$ millions). Since the assets for the PEBP are not held in an irrevocable trust separate from the assets of IBRD, they do not qualify for off-balance sheet accounting and are therefore included in IBRD's investment portfolio. IFC has recognized a receivable (prepaid asset) from IBRD and a payable (liability) to IBRD equal to the amount required to support the plan. The assets of the PEBP are mostly invested in fixed income, equity instruments and alternative investments.

Assumptions
The actuarial assumptions used are based on financial market interest rates, inflation expectations, past experience, and Management’s best estimate of future benefit changes and economic conditions. Changes in these assumptions will impact future benefit costs and obligations.
The expected long-term rate of return for the SRP assets is a weighted average of the expected long-term (10 years or more) returns for the various asset classes, weighted by the portfolio allocation. Asset class returns are developed using a forward-looking building block approach and are not strictly based on historical returns. Equity returns are generally developed as the sum of expected inflation, expected real earnings growth and expected long-term dividend yield. Bond returns are generally developed as the sum of expected inflation, real bond yield, duration-adjusted change in yields and risk premium/spread (as appropriate). Other asset class returns are derived from their relationship to equity and bond markets. The expected long-term rate of return for the RSBP is computed using procedures similar to those used for the SRP. The discount rate used in determining the benefit obligation is selected by reference to the year-end yield of AA corporate bonds.
Actuarial gains and losses occur when actual results are different from expected results. Amortization of these unrecognized gains and losses will be included in income if, at the beginning of the fiscal year, they exceed 10 percent of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the market-related value of plan assets. If required, the unrecognized gains and losses are amortized over the expected average remaining service lives of the employee group.
The following tables present the weighted-average assumptions used in determining the projected benefit obligations and the net periodic pension costs for the years ended June 30, 2019, June 30, 2018, and June 30, 2017:

Investment Strategy
The investment policies establish the framework for investment of the plan assets based on long-term investment objectives and the trade-offs inherent in seeking adequate investment returns within acceptable risk parameters. A key component of the investment policy is to establish a Strategic Asset Allocation (SAA) representing the policy portfolio (i.e., policy mix of assets) around which the plans are invested. The SAA for the plans is reviewed in detail and reset about every three to five years, with more frequent reviews and changes if and as needed based on market conditions.
The key long-term objective is to generate asset performance that is reasonable in relation to the growth rate of the underlying liabilities and the assumed sponsor contribution rates, without taking undue risks. Given the relatively long investment horizons of the SRP and RSBP, and the relatively modest liquidity needs over the short-term to pay benefits and meet other cash requirements, the focus of the investment strategy is on generating sustainable long-term investment returns through a globally diversified set of strategies including fixed income, public and private equity and real assets. The SAA is derived using a mix of quantitative analysis that incorporates expected returns and volatilities by asset class as well as correlations across the asset classes, and qualitative considerations such as the liquidity needs of the plans and Environmental, Social and Governance factors.
The following table presents the policy asset allocation at June 30, 2019 and the actual asset allocation at June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 by asset category for the SRP and RSBP.

** Includes authorized investments that are outside the policy allocations primarily in long-term private credit funds.
In April 2018, the revised SAAs for SRP and RSBP were approved with an effective date of July 1, 2018. The new SAAs introduce a five percent allocation to ‘credit strategies’ by proportionally reducing the allocation to fixed income and global equities.
Significant concentrations of risk in plan assets
The assets of the SRP and RSBP are diversified across a variety of asset classes. Investments in these asset classes are further diversified across funds, managers, strategies, geographies and sectors, to limit the impact of any individual investment. In spite of such level of diversification, equity market risk remains the primary source of the overall return volatility of the Plans. As of June 30, 2019, the largest exposure to a single counterparty was 7% and 6% of the plan assets in SRP and RSBP, respectively.

NOTE V – PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS (continued)

Risk management practices
Managing investment risk is an integral part of managing the assets of the Plans. Asset diversification is central to the overall investment strategy and risk management approach for the pension plans. Absolute risk indicators such as the overall return volatility and drawdown of the Plans are the primary measures used to define the risk tolerance level and establish the overall level of investment risk. In addition, the level of active risk (defined as the annualized standard deviation of portfolio returns relative to those of the policy portfolio) is closely monitored and managed on an ongoing basis.
Market risk is regularly monitored at the absolute level, as well as at the relative levels with respect to the investment policy, manager benchmarks, and liabilities of the Plans. Stress tests are performed periodically using relevant market scenarios to assess the impact of extreme market events.
Monitoring of performance (at both manager and asset class levels) against benchmarks, and compliance with investment guidelines, is carried out on a regular basis as part of the risk monitoring process. Risk management for different asset classes is tailored to their specific characteristics and is an integral part of the external managers’ due diligence and monitoring processes.
Credit risk is monitored on a regular basis and assessed for possible credit event impacts. The liquidity position of the Plans is analyzed at regular intervals and periodically tested using various stress scenarios to ensure that the Plans have sufficient liquidity to meet all cash flow requirements. In addition, the long-term cash flow needs of the Plans are considered during the SAA exercise and are one of the main drivers in determining maximum allocation to the illiquid investment vehicles. The plans mitigate operational risk by maintaining a system of internal controls along with other checks and balances at various levels.

Valuation methods and assumptions
The following are general descriptions of asset categories, as well as the valuation methodologies and inputs used to determine the fair value of each major category of Plan assets. It is important to note that the investment amounts in the asset categories shown in the table above may be different from the asset category allocation shown in the Investment Strategy section of the note. Asset classes in the table above are grouped by the characteristics of the investments held. The asset class break-down in the Investment Strategy section is based on Management’s view of the economic exposures after considering the impact of derivatives and certain trading strategies.
Debt securities
Debt securities include discount notes and time deposits, U.S. treasuries and agencies, debt obligations of foreign governments, sub-sovereigns and debt obligations in corporations of domestic and foreign issuers. Fixed income also includes investments in ABS such as collateralized mortgage obligations and mortgage backed securities. These securities are valued by independent pricing vendors at quoted market prices for the same or similar securities, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on discounted cash flow models using market-based parameters such as yield curves, interest rates, volatilities, foreign exchange rates and credit curves. Some debt securities are valued using techniques which require significant unobservable inputs. The selection of these inputs may involve some judgment. Management believes its estimates of fair value are reasonable given its processes for obtaining securities prices from multiple independent third-party vendors, ensuring that valuation models are reviewed and validated, and applying its approach consistently from period to period. Unless quoted prices are available, money market instruments and securities purchased under resale agreements are reported at face value which approximates fair value.

NOTE V – PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS (continued)

Equity securities
Equity securities (including Real Estate Investment Trusts) represent investments in companies in various industries and countries. Investments in public equity listed on securities exchanges are valued at the last reported sale price on the last business day of the fiscal year.
Commingled funds
Commingled funds are typically collective investment vehicles, such as trusts that are reported at NAV as provided by the investment manager or sponsor of the fund based on valuation of underlying investments.
Private equity funds
Private equity funds include investments primarily in leveraged buyouts, distressed investments and venture capital funds across North America, Europe and Asia in a variety of sectors. A large number of these funds are in the investment phase of their life cycle. Private Equity investments do not have a readily determinable fair market value and are reported at NAV provided by the fund managers, taking into consideration the latest audited financial statements of the funds.
Private equity funds also include private credit investments which comprise direct lending and opportunistic credit funds. Direct lending funds provide private financing to performing medium-size companies primarily owned by private equity sponsors. Opportunistic credit strategies (including distressed debt and multi-strategy funds) have flexible mandates to invest across both public and private markets globally. Private credit investments do not have a readily determinable fair market value and are reported at NAV provided by the fund managers, taking into consideration the latest audited financial statements of the funds.
Real estate funds (including infrastructure and timber)
Real estate includes several funds which invest in core real estate as well as non-core type of real estate investments such as debt, value add, and opportunistic equity investments. Real estate investments do not have a readily determinable fair market value and are reported at NAV provided by the fund managers, taking into consideration the latest audited financial statements of the funds
Hedge fund
Hedge fund investments include those seeking to maximize absolute returns using a broad range of strategies to enhance returns and provide additional diversification. Hedge Funds include investments in equity, event driven, fixed income, multi strategy and macro relative value strategies. These investments do not have a readily determinable fair market value and are reported at NAV provided by external managers or fund administrators (based on the valuations of underlying investments) on a monthly basis, taking into consideration the latest audited financial statements of the funds.
Investments in hedge funds and commingled funds can typically be redeemed at NAV within the near term while investments in private equity and most real estate are inherently long-term and illiquid in nature with a quarter lag in reporting by the fund managers. Reporting of those asset classes with a reporting lag, Management estimates are based on the latest available information taking into account underlying market fundamentals and significant events through the balance sheet date.
Investment in derivatives
Investment in derivatives such as equity or bond futures, TBA securities, swaps, options and currency forwards are used to achieve a variety of objectives that include hedging interest rates and currency risks, gaining desired market exposure of a security, an index or currency exposure and rebalancing the portfolio. Over-the-counter derivatives are reported using valuations based on discounted cash flow methods incorporating market observable inputs.
Estimated future benefits payments
The following table shows the benefit payments expected to be paid in each of the next five years and subsequent five years. The expected benefit payments are based on the same assumptions used to measure the benefit obligation at June 30, 2019 (US$ millions):

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE W – OFFSETTING OF DERIVATIVES, RESALE, REPURCHASE AND SECURITIES LENDING AGREEMENTS AND COLLATERAL (continued)

IFC’s derivative contracts with market counterparties are entered into under standardized master agreements published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA” Agreements). ISDA Agreements provide for a single lump sum settlement amount upon the early termination of transactions following a default or termination event whereby amounts payable by the non-defaulting party to the other party may be applied to reduce any amounts that the other party owes the non-defaulting party. This setoff effectively reduces any amount payable by the non-defaulting party to the defaulting party.
IFC’s ISDA Agreements are appended by a Credit Support Annex (“CSA”) that provides for the receipt, and in some cases, posting, of collateral in the form of cash, U.S. Treasury securities or U.K. gilts to reduce mark-to market exposure among derivative market counterparties. IFC recognizes cash collateral received and a corresponding liability on its balance sheet for the obligation to return it. Securities received as collateral are not recognized on IFC’s balance sheet. As of June 30, 2019, $1,734 million of cash collateral was posted under CSAs ($1,987 million June 30, 2018). IFC recognizes a receivable on its balance sheet for its rights to cash collateral posted. In accordance with the CSAs, IFC may rehypothecate securities received as collateral, subject to the obligation to return such collateral and any related distributions received. In the event of a counterparty default, IFC may exercise certain rights and remedies, including the right to set off any amounts payable by the counterparty against any collateral held by IFC and the right to liquidate any collateral held. As of June 30, 2019, IFC had $178 million ($236 million at June 30, 2018) of outstanding obligations to return cash collateral under CSAs. The estimated fair value of all securities received and held as collateral under CSAs as of June 30, 2019, all of which may be rehypothecated was $162 million ($231 million - June 30, 2018). As of June 30, 2019, $0 of such collateral was rehypothecated under securities lending agreements ($8 million - June 30, 2018).
Collateral posted by IFC in connection with repurchase agreements approximates the amounts classified as Securities sold under repurchase agreements. At June 30, 2019, trading securities with a carrying amount (fair value) of $197 million ($202 million - June 30, 2018) were pledged in connection with borrowings under a short-term discount note program, the carrying amount of which was $2,207 million ($2,262 million - June 30, 2018).
Under certain CSA’s IFC is not required to pledge collateral unless its credit rating is downgraded from its current AAA/Aaa. The aggregate fair value of derivatives containing such a credit risk-linked contingent feature in a net liability position was $71 million at June 30, 2019 ($61 million at June 30, 2018). At June 30, 2019, IFC had no collateral posted under these agreements. If IFC’s credit rating were to be downgraded from its current AAA/Aaa to AA+/Aa1 or below, then collateral in the amount of $0 would be required to be posted against net liability positions with counterparties at June 30, 2019 ($0 at June 30, 2018).
IFC’s resale, repurchase and securities lending transactions are entered into with counterparties under industry standard master netting agreements which generally provide the right to offset amounts owed one another with respect to multiple transactions under such master netting agreement and liquidate the purchased or borrowed securities in the event of counterparty default. The estimated fair value of all securities received and held as collateral under these master netting agreements as of June 30, 2019 was $124 million ($0 - June 30, 2018).
The following table presents an analysis of IFC’s repurchase and securities lending transactions by (1) class of collateral pledged and (2) their remaining contractual maturity as of June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 (US$ millions):

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE X – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (continued)

Services and Support Payments
IFC obtains certain administrative and overhead services from IBRD in those areas where common services can be efficiently provided by IBRD. This includes shared costs of the Boards of Governors and Directors, and other services such as communications, internal auditing, administrative support, supplies, and insurance. IFC makes payments for these services to IBRD based on negotiated fees, chargebacks and allocated charges, where chargeback is not feasible. Expenses allocated to IFC for the year ended June 30, 2019, were $128 million ($110 million - year ended June 30, 2018; $109 million - year ended June 30, 2017). Other chargebacks include $24 million for the year ended June 30, 2019 ($22 million - year ended June 30, 2018; $20 million - year ended June 30, 2017).
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits
The receivable from IBRD represents IFC’s net share of prepaid costs for pension and other postretirement benefit plans and Post-Employment Benefits Plan (PEBP) assets. These will be realized over the lives of the plan participants.
IDA Private Sector Window (IDA-PSW)
As part of the IDA 18 Replenishment, a $2.5 billion IDA-PSW has been created to mobilize private sector investment in IDA-only and IDA-eligible fragile and conflict-affected states. Under the fee arrangement for the IDA-PSW, IDA will receive a fee for transactions executed under this window and will reimburse IFC and MIGA for the related costs incurred in administering transactions below.

Borrowings
During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, IFC issued an amortizing, non-interest bearing promissory note, maturing September 15, 2039, to IDA (the Note) in exchange for $1,179 million. The Note requires payments totaling $1,318 million, resulting in an effective interest rate of 1.84%. With IFC’s consent, IDA may redeem the Note after September 2, 2019, upon an adverse change in its financial condition or outlook. The amount due to IDA upon such redemption is equal to the present value of the all unpaid amounts discounted at the effective interest rate. IDA may transfer the Note; however, its redemption right is not transferrable. IFC has elected the Fair Value Option for the Note.
IFC has investments where IFC has significant influence, direct equity investments representing 20 percent or more ownership but in which IFC does not have significant influence, and equity interests in private equity funds. However, IFC’s transactions with its investment affiliates are limited to IFC’s equity and debt investments and disclosed in other footnotes.

NOTE Y – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The fair value of IFC’s listed equity investments is based on market prices of such investments as of June 30, 2019. Changes in market prices subsequent to June 30, 2019 will be reported in the period in which such change occurs.

NOTE Z – CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of its business, IFC is from time to time named as a defendant or co-defendant in various legal actions on different grounds in various jurisdictions. Although there can be no assurances, based on the information currently available, IFC’s Management does not believe the outcome of any of the various existing legal actions will have a material adverse effect on IFC’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Independent Auditors’ Report

President and Board of Directors
International Finance Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the International Finance Corporation and its subsidiaries (“IFC”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in capital and cash flows, for the year then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to IFC’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of IFC as of June 30, 2019, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Predecessor Auditors' Opinion on 2018 Financial Statements
The consolidated financial statements of IFC as of and for each of the years in the two year period ended June 30, 2018 were audited by other auditors whose report, dated August 9, 2018, expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements.
Report on Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole. The consolidated statement of capital stock and voting power as of June 30, 2019 (supplementary information) listed in the index is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the consolidated financial statements. This supplementary information is the responsibility of IFC’s management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the consolidated financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the consolidated financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the consolidated financial statements or to the consolidated financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, such information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated financial statements as a whole. The 2018 supplementary information was subjected to auditing procedures by other auditors whose report, dated August 9, 2018, referred to above, stated that such information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the 2018 financial statements as a whole.

Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We also have audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, IFC's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated August 8, 2019 expressed an unmodified opinion over IFC’s internal control over financial reporting.
