Building a Twenty-First Century Global Development Bank

 

Global Bank is the Global Bank Group’s long-term sovereign lending institution. As a development bank with an agenda driven by G-7 and G-20 priorities, its leading priority is to promote global economic and social development.

 

Global Bank is one of five institutions that make up the Global Bank Group. The Bank is the part of the Global Bank Group that works with developed and developing countries, particularly the least developed countries (LDCs) to promote sustainable, equitable and job-creating growth, reduce poverty and address issues of regional and global importance.

 

The Global Bank's Mission

 

The Global Bank’s mission is to support the economic and social development effort of developed and developing countries, particularly the least developed countries, as they seek the achievement of internationally agreed-upon development goals, including those contained in the Millennium Declaration, Millennium Development Goals, and the Sustainable Development Goals and to implement the recommendations of major United Nations conferences and summits. And to fulfil the poverty and development commitments enshrined in the United Nations Millennium Declaration. The goals lay out a blueprint for the Bank Group, setting its priorities and measuring its results. The Bank Group's strategic priorities align with advancing those of the G-7 and G-20 and a leading priority to promote global economic and social development.

 

The Global Bank's main goals

 

The Global Bank’s main goals are ending extreme poverty and hunger and achieving sustainable development in its three dimensions through promoting inclusive economic growth, protecting the environment, and promoting social inclusion.

 

The Global Bank Group's Charter: Visioning A Better World

 

Our organisational purpose, and values, are in the Global Bank Charter. The central role of the Global Bank Group is embracing the Bank Group's ideals and values enshrined in the Global Bank Charter, respect for fundamental human rights of men and women, social justice and human dignity, peace and security, the worth of the human person, self-determination of peoples, social progress and development, and leave no one behind.

 

The Bank Group’s Purpose:

 

The Bank Group’s purpose is to work with developed and developing countries, particularly the least developed countries, so they can achieve equitable and sustainable economic growth in their national economies and find effective solutions to pressing regional and global problems in economic development and environmental sustainability, all to overcome poverty and improve standards of living. It pursues this goal primarily by providing financing, risk management products, and other financial services, access to experts, and a pool of knowledge in development-related disciplines, so that borrowing countries can pool, administer and prioritise resources they dedicate to development-related objectives.
