The World Bank Group has set two goals for the world to achieve by 2030:

1. i. End extreme poverty by decreasing the percentage of people living on less than $1.25 a day to no more than 3%
2. ii. Promote shared prosperity by fostering the income growth of the bottom 40% for every country

The World Bank is a vital source of financial and technical assistance to developing countries around the world. We are not a bank in the ordinary sense but a unique partnership to reduce poverty and support development.
