IDC Plans for 2008/09 Geoffrey Qhena CEO 5 March 2008

IDC’s Role To support sustainable development, IDC invests in businesses showing economic merit. Some businesses are not often funded because of perceived high risks: –IDC views this as a market failure; –IDC does more detailed assessments and funds investments which would not otherwise happen. IDC plays a critical role in assisting industries to develop, in ways which meet South Africa’s needs: –ASGISA; –National Industrial Policy Framework (NIPF); –Industrial Policy Action Plans (IPAP). Cooperate with national and provincial government, other development finance institutions (DFIs), and other COTII institutions. Ntuso Forestry
