Association, are collectively known as the World Bank as they share the
same leadership and staff.

the Bretton Woods conference in 1944 and became
operational in 1946

European nations following World War II

 ROLES
The International Bank for Reconstruction and
Development (IBRD) is a global development
cooperative owned by its 188 member
countries. As the largest development bank in
the world and part of the World Bank Group,
IBRD has two main goals: to end extreme
poverty by 2030 and to promote shared
prosperity in a sustainable manner. It seeks to
achieve these goals primarily by providing
loans, guarantees, risk management products,
and expertise on development-related
disciplines, as well as by coordinating
responses to regional and global challenges.

 FUNDING
The IBRD is owned and governed by its member states,
but has its own executive leadership and staff which
conduct its normal business operations. The Bank's
member governments are shareholders which contribute
paid-in capital and have the right to vote on its matters. In
addition to contributions from its member nations, the
IBRD acquires most of its capital by borrowing on
international capital markets through bond issues. The
Bank raised $29 billion USD worth of capital in 2011 from
bonds issued in 26 different currencies. In 2011, the IBRD
sought an additional $86 billion USD (of which $5.1 billion
would be paid-in capital) as part of a general capital
increase to increase its lending capacity to middle-income
countries. The IBRD expressed in February 2012 its intent
to sell kangaroo bonds (bonds denominated in Australian
dollars issued by external firms) with maturities lasting
 GOVERNANCE

The IBRD is governed by the World Bank's Board of

Governors which meets annually and consists of
one governor per member country (most often the
country's finance minister or treasury secretary).
The Board of Governors delegates most of its
authority over daily matters such as lending and
operations to the Board of Directors. The Board of
Directors consists of 25 executive directors and is
chaired by the President of the World Bank Group.
The executive directors collectively represent all
187 member states of the World Bank. The
president oversees the IBRD's overall direction and
daily operations.[As of July 2012, Jim Yong Kim
 Lending operations
The IBRD lends to member governments, or, with
government guarantee, to political subdivisions, or to
public or private enterprises.
The IBRD normally makes long-term loans, with
repayment commencing after a certain period.
The length of the loan is generally related to the
estimated useful life of the equipment or plant being
financed.
Since July 1982, IBRD loans have been made at variable
rates. The lending rate on all loans made under the
variable-rate system is adjusted semiannually, on 1
January and 1 July, by adding a spread of0.5% to the
IBRD's weighted average cost during the prior six
months.
