By supporting the clients' capacity to sustain operations during an acute shock, IFC positions the private sector to support the economic recovery process, shortening the time it will take for the most vulnerable to return to their traditional income-earning opportunities. The impact also comes from IFC's ability to respond promptly and sustained availability of output in times of crisis.
