The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, which soon became known as the World Bank, was established after the Bretton Woods Conference in 1944 as an instrument for restoring the economies of countries devastated by the Second World War. 

Russia has been a full-fledged member of the World Bank since 1992. In June 1993, a multilateral meeting was held in Paris to discuss top priority reforms in Russia and coordinate external assistance. In total, over USD 16 billion was provided to Russia for structural reforms through the World Bank. At the moment, Russia was moved from the category of World Bank borrowers to the category of its partners, both in terms of Russia’s socio-economic development, as well as with respect to fighting poverty around the world, writing off debt of the poorest countries and environmental protection.

The World Bank operates as a collective credit institution with 189 member states as shareholders in its organization. The total number of votes held by its member countries depends on their respective share in the Bank’s capital.

The World Bank is comprised of the IBRD and IDA. The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) provides funding to governments with middle and low-level GDP. In turn, the International Development Association (IDA) provides interest-free loans (also known as credits) and grants to the governments of the world's poorest countries.
