Spain At-A-Glance

Spain became a member of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development — the World Bank — in 1958 and was a borrower until 1977. Spain is also a member of the International Development Association (IDA), the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), the International Finance Corporation (IFC), and the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID).

IDA: 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.
