IFC's main government counterparts are the Ministry of Finance and the Slovak Export-Import Bank (Eximbank). In particular, the Ministry of Finance has been playing an active role in supporting the involvement of Slovak companies and technical experts in development through the launch of dedicated platforms that provide information on how to collaborate with IFC and, more broadly, with the World Bank Group. In addition, the Ministry of Finance established the Slovakia-IFC Partnership Trust Fund (SIPF) to support IFC's advisory activities in manufacturing, agribusiness, information and clean environmental technologies, and energy and resource efficiency. The geographical priorities of the SIPF were the Western Balkans, the Commonwealth of Independent States, and Asia. Through the SIPF, the Slovak Republic provided over one million in support of IFC Advisory Services. The SIPF was closed after the funds were used.
