  • The World Bank Group (WBG) is a family of five international organizations that makes leveraged loans, generally to poor countries. The WBG came into formal existence on 27 December 1945 following international ratification of the Bretton Woods agreements, which emerged from the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference (1–22 July 1944). It also provided the foundation of the Osiander-Committee in 1951, responsible for the preparation and evaluation of the World Development Report. Commencing operations on 25 June 1946, it approved its first loan on 9 May 1947 (US$250M to France for postwar reconstruction, in real terms the largest loan issued by the Bank to date). Its five agencies are: International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) International Development Association (IDA) International Finance Corporation (IFC) Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) The term "World Bank" generally refers to just the IBRD and IDA, whereas the term World Bank Group or WBG is used to refer to all five institutions collectively. The World Bank's (the IBRD and IDA's) activities are focused on developing countries, in fields such as human development (e.g. education, health), agriculture and rural development (e.g. irrigation, rural services), environmental protection (e.g. pollution reduction, establishing and enforcing regulations), infrastructure (e.g. roads, urban regeneration, electricity), and governance (e.g. anti-corruption, legal institutions development). The IBRD and IDA provide loans at preferential rates to member countries, as well as grants to the poorest countries. Loans or grants for specific projects are often linked to wider policy changes in the sector or the economy. For example, a loan to improve coastal environmental management may be linked to development of new environmental institutions at national and local levels and the implementation of new regulations to limit pollution. The activities of the IFC and MIGA include investment in the private sector and providing insurance respectively. The World Bank Institute is the capacity development branch of the World Bank, providing learning and other capacity-building programs to member countries. Two countries, Venezuela and Ecuador, withdrew from the World Bank. The World Bank is also an observer on the United Nations Development Group.
  • Il Gruppo della Banca Mondiale è un'organizzazione istituita nel 2007 che comprende cinque diversi istituti: La Banca Internazionale per la Ricostruzione e lo Sviluppo, fondata nel 1945, il cui funzionamento è garantito dal versamento di un canone stabilito dagli Stati membri; L'Agenzia Internazionale per lo Sviluppo, fondata nel 1960, i cui prestiti sono riservati ai paesi meno sviluppati; La Società finanziaria internazionale, fondata nel 1956 per finanziare i prestiti e gli investimenti effettuati dalle imprese nei paesi a rischio; Il Centro internazionale per il regolamento delle controversie relative ad investimenti, istituito nel 1966, che collabora con i governi nazionali per ridurre il rischio negli investimenti; L'Agenzia multilaterale di garanzia degli investimenti, istituita nel 1988 per fornire un particolare fondo assicurativo contro il rischio di alcuni tipi di investimenti. La "nomina" del Presidente del Gruppo della Banca Mondiale è per tradizione riservata agli Stati Uniti, in quanto essi detengono la più maggior quota di voti (16,4% del totale); la designazione fatta dal governo degli Stati Uniti deve però essere approvata dal Consiglio dei Governatori delle istituzioni che compongono il gruppo. Fra gli altri paesi aderenti al Gruppo, il Giappone detiene una quota del 7,9%, la Germania del 4,5%, il Regno Unito del 4,3%, la Francia del 4,3%. Presidente del Gruppo della Banca Mondiale è dal 2007 Robert Zoellick, candidato dal Presidente degli Stati Uniti d'America George W. Bush, e confermato dal Consiglio dei Governatori.

The IBRD and IDA provide loans at preferential rates to member countries, as well as grants to the poorest countries. Loans or grants for specific projects are often linked to wider policy changes in the sector or the country's economy as a whole. For example, a loan to improve coastal environmental management may be linked to development of new environmental institutions at national and local levels and the implementation of new regulations to limit pollution, or not, such as in the World Bank financed constructions of paper mills along the Rio Uruguay in 2006. The World Bank has received various criticisms over the years and was tarnished by a scandal with the bank's then President Paul Wolfowitz and his aid, Shaha Riza in 2007.
