Africa’s Private Capital Mobilisation Rises By 150% To $22bn FY26

The World Bank Group has sustained Private Capital Mobilisation (PCM) to support job creation and economic recovery among developing economies. Across Africa, PCM rose from approximately $9 billion to $22 billion, an increase of nearly 150 per cent in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026. The Group mobilised more private capital in fiscal year 2026 than in any year in its history and issued a record volume of guarantees, delivering on a goal shareholders and clients have pressed for years: putting more private capital to work alongside its own financing and expertise in developing economies. Private capital mobilised by the World Bank Group has more than tripled over the past four years, rising from $35 billion in FY22 to $112 billion in FY26, and combined with the Group's own financing, that brought total financing and mobilization in developing economies to well over $200 billion in FY26.
