CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
Emerging economies, which I call the New World represent 50% of the world GDP today and will represent more than 60% of the world GDP in 20 years. There is not any single global investment bank that is giving priority to the New World. Today’s leading global investment banks have playedan important role in supporting the economy of the developed countries.
Our objective at Millennium Finance Corporation is to mobilize financial and technical resources on a global basis to support the development of public and private institutions as well as strategic projects in the New World.
Although a number of companies from the New World have become global leaders across various industries, there is not a single investment bank from the New World that has emergedas a global competitor.MFC aims to become the first leading global investment bank from the New World by 2020.
