We operate in a time of profound disruption. Geopolitical tensions, climate-induced shocks, and widening inequalities have reshaped the global trade landscape. The trade finance gap has reached an unprecedented US$2.5 trillion, posing a systemic risk to equitable growth—especially in vulnerable economies. For many of our Member Countries, these overlapping crises have intensified structural constraints, making recovery and resilience ever more urgent.
In this context, ITFC’s mandate—to use trade as a catalyst for development—has never been more critical, nor more relevant. In 2024, we responded not only with agility, but with clarity of purpose and operational focus.

What is the
ADER >
The Development Effectiveness Report (ADER) is ITFC's primary tool for monitoring and reporting on its performance in achieving development results. The ADER uses the indicators in the ITFC's Development Impact Framework (DIF) as a yardstick for reporting and to showcase its contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals.
With 54 indicators, the ITFC DIF enables management and stakeholders to evaluate performance, from the perspective of development impact, by assessing the extent to which its activities are aligned with the priorities and the theory of change pertaining to the Corporation.
ITFC engaged BlueMark, a Tideline company, to independently verify the quality of ITFC's external impact reporting based on industry best practices, including the Sustainable Development Goals and the Operating Principles for Impact Management, among others. BlueMark's assessment findings cover both areas of strength and areas for improvement, as reflected in the Verifier Statement for the Year 2024 reporting period.
