International financial institutions (IFIs) are established by multiple countries and subject to international law. The three most prominent IFIs are the World Bank Group, International Monetary Fund, and regional development banks. The World Bank Group aims to reduce poverty through sustainable development projects and loans. It consists of 5 organizations focused on development assistance, financing, and dispute settlement. The IMF works to stabilize exchange rates and support global monetary cooperation. Regional development banks like the Asian Development Bank and African Development Bank provide financing to their respective regions.

FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS:
International financial institutions (IFIs) are financial institutions that
have been established by more than one country, and hence are subjects
of international laws. Their owners or shareholders are generally national
governments, although other international institutions and other
organizations occasionally figure as shareholders. The most prominent IFIs
are creations of multiple nations, although some bilateral financial
institutions exist and are technically IFIs. Many of these are multilateral
development banks (MDB).
