Answer:
World Bank- It is a Bretton Woods institution and a financial organisation that provides loans to developing countries. Its stated goal is the reduction of poverty in the world and its decisions are guided by a commitment to increase foreign investment and international trade. It comprises two institutions- The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Development Association (IDA).
