at hiking exposure to Indian entities provided it gets more capital support. According to Lars Thunell,
executive vice president & chief executive of the IFC, IFC is currently committed to invest $1 billion annually and this may increase that if it gets the $2.4 billion capital support that it has asked its shareholders.
