Update
World Bank Executive Directors Directory
3 November 2003
Last updated: October 14, 2008
The Bank Information Center organized this guide first according to the top 5 shareholders of the Bank followed by the rest. 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 World Bank Group 1818 H Street, NW Washington, D.C. 20433, USA
*One Executive Director is housed at the IMF, 700 19th Street, Washington, DC 20431, USA
All Executive Directors belong to Committees.
Executive Directors with available biographies can be found in blue and bold font. Please click on his/her name to be taken to a new page with the respective biographical information.
