APA-Monrovia (Liberia) The vice president of the International Finance Corporation (IFC) for Sub-Saharan Africa, Thierry Tanoh, will visit Liberia in 22 and 23 November, APA learns here Friday.

According to a press statement issued in Monrovia Friday, the visit of Ivorian national Tanoh is meant to highlight the support IFC provides for Liberia’s development through the private sector, encourage increased cooperation among development partners, and support elimination of barriers to economic growth.

During the two- day visit, Tanoh will meet with Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, a number of Government officials, the diplomatic community and the private sector.

IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, is the only international financial institution focused exclusively on the private sector, the engine of sustainable development in emerging markets.
