Established in 1944, the World

developing countries; a unique global partnership of five institutions: the

Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID). With 189 member
countries and more than 120 offices worldwide, the WBG works with public and
private sector partners, investing in groundbreaking projects and using data,
