Why is an 80-year-old bank a key partner for job creation?

Over eight decades, the international community has built the World Bank Group into a one-of-a-kind partnership to promote economic development and foster global prosperity.

Global platform. Local experience

The scale of the jobs challenge requires a global response. We have 130 offices across every continent, and 80 years’ experience learning how to work—and what works—in nearly every country in the world.

Proven results. Ready to scale.

Since 2013, we’ve helped connect 100 million people to electricity, provided 400 million people with access to improved healthcare, and developed the relationships, experience, and strategies to scale and meet the challenge.

Best value for development dollars

The World Bank Group is the world’s largest multilateral development financier, with a AAA rating and unprecedented leverage, that turns every $1 of IBRD financing into $10 in total development investment.

Long-term partnership

The World Bank is the oldest multilateral development bank in the world. Our longest partnership with India began more than 75 years ago. And we recently introduced extended 50-year loans designed to help clients tackle the most complex global challenges.
