World Bank Executive Directors Directory

3 November 2003

Last updated: July 9, 2008

The Bank Information Center organized this guide first according to the top 5 shareholders of the Bank. All other shareholders are organized alphabetically according to the Executive Director's country of origin. For those Executive Director offices with shared representation, the first country that is listed is the Executive Director’s country of origin, though the ED represents all of the countries in that box. Please note that because Executive Directors are rotated periodically, BIC will publish updates on this page as necessary.

When writing to Board members, use the following format:

Full Name, Room Number

1818 H Street, NW
Washington, D.C. 20433, USA

*Two Executive Directors are housed at the IMF, 700 19th Street, Washington, DC 20431, USA
