IBRD’s market presence and strong financial policies provide a solid foundation for offering clients a broad menu of financing options at highly competitive market-based terms.

IBRD Flexible Loan

Borrowers benefit from long maturities (up to 30 years), transparent LIBOR-based pricing, built-in hedging products to manage financial risks over the life of the loan, and the ability to customize repayment schedules to project, program, or debt management requirements. IBRD financing is available in major currencies and a growing list of local currencies.

Local currency loans

Through options embedded in the IBRD Flexible Loan borrowers have access to local currency at the time of disbursement or at any time during the life of the loan to reduce future vulnerabilities to foreign exchange risk.

Financing for subnationals

The World Bank Group offers subnationals two options: IBRD financing with a sovereign guarantee on the same terms as national governments, or financing without a sovereign guarantee on commercial terms through the joint IFC-World Bank Subnational Finance program.

Contingent financing

Borrower gain the flexibility to rapidly fund financing requirements due to an unexpected a shortfall in resources. The IBRD Deferred Drawdown Option – or DDO - is a committed line of credit with similar pricing and the same built-in risk management features and flexibility as the IBRD Flexible Loan.
