Many of the events in the World Bank Group Historical Timeline were carefully selected from the World Bank Group Archivists鈥 Chronology, a comprehensive timeline of key events maintained by World Bank Group archivists. If you are interested in a more expansive history of the World Bank Group, we invite you to download the Chronology, linked above.

Many of the items in the Chronology are "firsts" that document the first occurrence of significant events, such as the first lending for each member country, the first meetings of consultative groups, the first lending in a particular sector, etc. The chronology also includes membership dates for all member countries in each institution within the World Bank Group as well as appointment and retirement announcements for prominent Bank staff.

The Chronology was initially conceived as a means of providing Archives鈥 staff with historical information to assist them in their work. The product was maintained and added to by numerous archivists over many decades. Thus, it contains some inconsistencies in style and substance. Readers are encouraged to cross-reference any statements for accuracy.

Sub-timelines

木瓜影院 Group Historical Timeline was launched with a focus on the entire organization, from its creation at the Bretton Woods Conference in 1944 to the present. These events are captured in the "Key WBG Events" timeline. Since then we have added three sub-timelines that focus on specific topics in the Bank Group's history. We invite you to check out whichever timeline most interests you!
