Economic growth requires a policy environment that provides and supports private investment, while assuring equity and protection against abuse. The private sector needs the capacity to respond to growth opportunities, including access to financing on reasonable terms and the opportunity to connect with both suppliers and buyers. At the same time, the public sector must be able and willing to use the private sector to provide goods and public services. With a focus on integrating economic, technical, organizational and social factors, International Resources Group’s expertise in this area fosters policy analysis, project development, and field implementation that advance local, national or regional economic growth. This includes enterprise efficiency and benchmarking; micro, small and medium enterprise development; corporatization/privatization of public enterprises; investment promotion; financing; trade; infrastructure support; and value chain analysis.
