The World Bank Group mobilised a record US$112 billion in private capital during its 2026 fiscal year, more than three times the amount mobilised four years ago.
The World Bank says private capital mobilisation rose from US$35 billion in 2022 to US$112 billion this year.
Combined with the Group's own financing, total financing and mobilisation in developing economies exceeded US$200 billion during the year.
The growth was seen across several income groups.
Private capital mobilisation to lower-middle-income countries increased from US$14 billion in 2022 to US$37 billion in 2026, while mobilisation in upper-middle-income countries more than quadrupled, to US$50 billion.
In low-income countries, mobilisation remained at about US$3 billion.
Across Africa, private capital mobilisation increased by nearly 150 per cent to US$22 billion.
The World Bank Group also issued more than US$25 billion in guarantees during the fiscal year, surpassing its annual target of US$20 billion four years ahead of schedule.
The Group says job creation remains its central priority, noting that 1.2 billion young people in developing economies are expected to reach working age over the next 10 to 15 years, while only about 420 million jobs are projected to be created.
