World Bank History and Headquarters Information

History

World Bank was founded in the year 1945. The organisation has been active for almost 73 years now. The organisation was founded by the IMF or the International Monetary Fund, at the 1944 Bretton Woods Conference. The IMF and also the World Bank are based in Washington, DC and thus works closely together as well. During that time, the UK and the USA were the most powerful among all the other attendee countries and also influenced the negotiations of the organisation as well. The main aim of the organisation was to provide temporary loans to low-income countries, which were unable to obtain loans from other commercial sources.

During the year 1974 to the year 1980, the organisation started to concentrate on the basic needs of the people living in developing countries. This allowed the bank to increase the loan sanction sizes significantly as well. From the year 1976 to the year 1980, the annual debt had risen by 20 per cent every year. Then in the year 1980, the World Bank Administrative Tribunal was established. Also, during the 1980s, the organisation started to serve the third world countries and also streamline the development of the developing nations as well. UNICEF described the actions of the World Bank as a way to reduce the nutritional, health, and also the educational levels for millions of children living in Asia, Africa, and even in America. In order to address these criticisms, the organisation has established various NGOs and also environmental groups in order to mitigate the effects of its loans to the developing nations. In the year 2012, it was nominated by the USA that Jim Yong Kim would be the next president of the organisation. Jim Yong Kim was again reappointed for the second time. As of the year 2019, the CEO of the organisation, Kristalina Georgieva, replaced him. The headquarters of the organisation is based in 1818 H Street North West. The name of the place is Washington, while the name of the state is DC, USA. The pin code of the area is 20433.

    Good Day, this Webpage has an error in your phone number. Your Washington, D. C. location has the correct 202 area code for your FAX but your phone Number displayed is 855-96698-7232, an unreachable phone number/Legal Employees, NOT LICENCED BANKERS, and this concerns me since you post you have been in business since July (_ _), 1945, 72 years an error of (2) with o updating for 2 years! Another Web Page states you have 189 member countries but only a staff in 170 Plus. Dense Populations never would have quality servicing from you due to their vast Square Miles if 189/Convenience. Your Web Page also posts you “work for sustainable solution to reduce poverty and build shared prosperity in developing nations.” Then what I understand, if I am in a struggling nation, any effort to have your aid in services would produce negative interest.
