World Bank Group

The World Bank Group (WBG) is an independent organisation that acts within the framework of the Economic and Social Council. It provides loans, technical assistance and policy advice to countries for the purpose of reducing poverty, improving living standards, and safeguarding international investment. The headquarter is located in Washington, DC.

Organisation

The World Bank Group consists of five closely associated institutions, all of them focused on development and poverty alleviation:

  1. International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD)
  2. International Development Association (IDA)
  3. International Finance Corporation (IFC)
  4. Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA)
  5. International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID).

The term "World Bank" usually refers to the IBRD and IDA, whereas the World Bank group often refers to the entire group of institutions.
