Currency Choice

 

By matching the currency of assets and liabilities, clients can mitigate the impact of foreign exchange volatility on public budgets and development programs.


In addition to major currencies, IBRD financing is available in a growing list of local currencies. Some of the ways clients can access local currency include currency conversion options embedded in IBRD loans, stand-alone currency hedging transactions, and local currency bonds tied to IBRD loans.
