● IBRD raises most of its fund from the world financial market by selling world bank
bonds to investor.
● Ibrd has maintained a triple A-rating since 1959 its high credit rating allows it to borrow
at a low cost and offer middle income developing countries access to capital on
favourable terms-in larger amount ,with longer maturities and in a more sustainable
manner than world financial markets typically provide.
● Ibrd earns income every year from the return on its equity and from the small margin it
makes on lending this pays for ibrd operating expenses goes into reserves to strengthen
Balance Sheet and provides an annual transfer of funds to ida to fund the poorest
countries
● The standing in the capital market and its financial strength allowed IBRD to borrow
large volumes on very favorable terms.
● Ibrd seeks not to maximise profit but to earn enough income to ensure its financial
strength and sustain its developmental activities.
● in 1998 ibrd borrowed the highest 28 billion due to asian financial crisis it is projected to
borrow between 10 to 15 billion dollars every year.

15. UNDERSTANDING POVERTY

16. CASE STUDY
SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA
Globally, extreme poverty has rapidly declined. New poverty estimates by the World
Bank suggest that the number of extremely poor people—those who live on $1.90 a day
or less—has fallen from 1.9 billion in 1990 to about 736 million in 2015.
However, the number of people living in extreme poverty is on the rise in Sub-Saharan
Africa, comprising more than half of the extreme poor in 2015. Forecasts also indicate
that by 2030, nearly 9 in 10 extremely poor people will live in Sub-Saharan Africa.
