9.3: Development Solutions

Build a competitive menu of development solutions for middle-income countries, with customized services as well as finance.

Other Information:

The Challenge. Middle-income countries are still home to most of the world's poor people, often with a heavy concentration in specific regions or ethnic groups. These countries are generally creditworthy and have some access to financial markets, but they face constraints in mobilizing the funds they need to invest in infrastructure and essential services. They also need help to reform policies and institutions in ways that improve the investment climate. What We're Doing. The World Bank Group is working to meet middle-income countries' specific needs with tailored assistance that draws on an array of competitive financial products and knowledge and learning services. These countries are also increasingly important partners in our work to address critical cross-border and global issues, such as clean energy, trade integration, environmental protection, international financial stability, and the fight against infectious diseases.
