World Bank Publications and Speakers Bureau

1. Publications

The World Bank Brussels office has a small reference room where visitors, upon making an appointment (tel: + 32 2 552 00 52), can consult World Bank publications, as well as its website and CD ROMs. The Brussels office does not sell World Bank publications. We do, however, have a small section where visitors can come and pick up leaflets, general information, and the World Bank Annual Report (in both French and English versions).

The Depository Library at the University of Antwerp receives all official World Bank publications (about 200 titles per year), enabling the public to borrow publications on topics covered by the Bank.
