World Bank
World Bank (often referred to by employees
and others as simply "the Bank") is an internationally supported bank that
provides financial and technical assistance[1] to developing countries for
development programs (e.g. bridges, roads, schools, etc.) with the stated goal
of reducing poverty. The World Bank differs from the World Bank Group in that
the former comprises only the International Bank for Reconstruction and
Development and the International Development Association, while the latter
incorporates these entities in addition to three others. The World Bank was
formally established on December 27, 1945, following the ratification of the
Bretton Woods agreement. The concept was originally conceived in July 1944 at
the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference. Two years later, the Bank
issued its first loan: $250 million to France for post-war reconstruction, the
main focus of the Bank's work in the early post-World War II years. Over time,
the "development" side of the Bank's work has assumed a larger share of its
lending, although it is still involved in post-conflict reconstruction, together
with reconstruction after natural disasters, response to humanitarian
emergencies and post-conflict rehabilitation needs affecting developing and
transition economies. There are some criticisms of the results of the World
Bank's "development schemes" leading to corruption and widespread exploitation
of the corporations who are given monopolies of developing nation's resources.
