Über uns
The World Bank is a vital source of financial and technical assistance to developing countries around the world. Our vision is to create a world without poverty on a livable planet. We are not a bank in the common sense; we are made up of two unique development institutions owned by 189 member countries: the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Development Association (IDA). Each institution plays a different but collaborative role in advancing the vision of inclusive and sustainable globalization. The IBRD aims to reduce poverty in middle-income and creditworthy poorer countries, while IDA focuses on the world's poorest countries. Their work is complemented by that of the International Finance Corporation (IFC), Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) and the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID). Together, we provide low-interest loans, interest-free credits and grants to developing countries for a wide array of purposes that include investments in education, health, public administration, infrastructure, financial and private sector development, agriculture and environmental and natural resource management.

Small countries with a population of 1.5 million or less have faced financial challenges in the past decade. The COVID-19 pandemic and global shocks have worsened their financial and debt situations. About 40% of these countries are at high risk of debt distress, which is double the risk compared to other countries. The average government debt in small countries increased to 61% of GDP between 2011 and 2023, primarily due to ongoing deficits and interest costs outweighing the debt-reducing impact of growth. Addressing these challenges requires domestic policy measures and international support. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gNRJ9xZr
