The World Bank is an international financial institution that provides loans to developing countries for capital programs. It comprises two institutions: the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), and the International Development Association (IDA).

It was created together with the monetary fund -- the International Monetary Fund -- and what was going to be later the WTO -- the World Trade Organization. In the case of the Bank, its main purpose was to borrow money on the markets -- in those days Europe more than the U.S. -- and to lend this money for the reconstruction of Europe and of Japan and so forth. So it was a very bold design for the times, and it did that in the '50s. Mostly it was in the reconstruction business. It financed reconstruction, for instance, of Toyota in Japan.

At which point did Putin become the big, bad wolf? Was it Crimea, the alleged MH17 airliner disaster, or another fabricated story on behalf of Western mainstream media? I guess there was that one time when he told Mr. McCain where his place was at the Munich Security Conference (2007) - as well as repay all of Yeltsin's IMF / World Bank loans much ahead of schedule, so that the international financial terrorists no longer had leverage over Russia.

Britain's exit from the European Union has led to "economic uncertainty which is not good but India seems to be doing quite well," World Bank President Jim Yong Kim has told NDTV in his first comments since Brexit. In an exclusive interview to NDTV, Dr Kim, who met Prime Minister Narendra Modi earlier today in Delhi, said he was concerned by the uncertainty in the world economy. "The uncertainty has led to fluctuations in currency, we see that UK has been downgraded two notches by one of the ratings agencies and this is very serious...to go down two notches at the same time. I am concerned, but unfortunately, right now we don't know which direction it's going to go." He also cautioned countries on turning "inward", saying multilateralism is critical.

Payday 2 FIRST WORLD BANK Heist on Death Wish difficulty. Solo stealth the classic FIRST WORLD BANK from the original PAYDAY the HEIST game! A great port from the original, First World Bank solo stealth looks easy but can turn tricky! I try and give some Payday Tips and Tricks on the First World Bank solo, but give it a try and let me know if you need any pointers or have any Payday tips yourself! Enjoy the First World Bank Heist, Stealth on Death Wish difficulty!

On the First World Bank heist in Payday 2, there's an achievement called "Overdrill", it's a secret 2000 seconds (33.33 minutes) long drill that activates when all 4 crew members stand in specific places and face certain directions at the same time. This has to be completed on Deathwish difficulty and the result is not only the Steam achievement but 70 bags of gold! That's right, 70 bags of gold. It takes over 20 minutes to move all these bags and is not easy on Deathwish difficulty. The payout ain't bad either... succeed and you will get a little over 40,000,000 offshore cash and a little over 10,000,000 in spending cash! We had a lot of fun doing this in a livestream! Overdrill achievement is a lot of work though.... My links here: ● Twitch - https://twitch.tv/b33croft ● Twitter - ht...
