The World Bank is an international organization dedicated to providing financing, advice, and research to developing nations to aid their economic advancement. The bank predominantly acts as an organization that attempts to fight poverty by offering developmental assistance to middle- and low-income countries.
WHO FOUNDED IT? WHEN? WHERE? WHY?
The World Bank was created by Harry Dexter White and John Maynard Keynes at the 1944 Bretton Woods Conference in New Hampshire, along with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The intention behind the founding of the World Bank was to provide temporary loans to low-income countries which were unable to obtain loans commercially.
