Sweden At-A-Glance

Sweden became a member of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development — the World Bank — on Aug. 31, 1951. Today, Sweden is a member of the five institutions that form the World Bank Group. Sweden and the World Bank work with other member governments to finance projects, design policies, and deliver programs to end poverty in the developing world.

The World Bank's Fund for the Poorest

The International Development Association (IDA) is the part of the World Bank that helps the world’s poorest countries. Established in 1960, IDA aims to reduce poverty by providing loans (called “credits” ) and grants for programs that boost economic growth, reduce inequalities, and improve people’s living conditions.Visit ida.worldbank.org
