The World Bank Group consists of five closely associated institutions (IBRD, IDA, IFC, MIGA, ICSID), all owned by member countries that carry ultimate decision-making power. Each institution plays a distinct role in the mission to fight poverty and improve living standards for people in the developing world. The term 'World Bank Group' encompasses all five institutions. The term 'World Bank' refers specifically to two of the five, IBRD and IDA (International Development Association).
