The 2025 World Bank Impact Report is focused on IBRD Sustainable Development Bonds and Green Bonds, and the IBRD-financed projects supported by these bonds in fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. The report illustrates how bond proceeds support the financing of projects and programs in IBRD member countries in line with the World Bank Group mission to end extreme poverty and boost shared prosperity on a livable planet. It also illustrates the World Bank Group’s focus on creating jobs and fostering sustainable, inclusive growth as it pursues its mission.
The World Bank has been publishing an impact report for Green Bonds since 2015 and in 2020 published its first impact report for Sustainable Development Bonds, effectively covering all bond issuance. IBRD has again obtained limited assurance from an independent third party on the commitments and disbursements of IBRD-financed loans made possible by bond issuance. Read the report.
