As official site for The World Bank, a multilateral aid-finance organization, Worldbank.org provides news and events and in-depth analysis with a regional overview, country briefs, data and statistics, publications, development topics, initiatives, projects and programs.
Because The World Bank is one of the leading credit-agencies catering for third-world underdevelopment problems, it is usually in the core of international turmoil and comment, so taking a look at it can be refreshing when trying to build one’s opinion on any international-affair issue. Possibly most important area of the site, the very-well stocked library hosts reports and documents issued by the bank on political, social, economical and educational matters, among other issues. The eLibrary, which holds electronic versions of all of the Bank’s publications is free to be consulted.
