World Bank Dialogue with Germany The World Bank's External Affairs Europe offices are responsible for the World Bank's daily dialogue with eighteen Western European countries, including Germany. Germany and the World Bank work together with other member governments to finance projects, design policies and deliver programs to combat poverty in the developing world. This website provides an introduction to Germany's formal involvement with and influence on the World Bank.
Through facilitating meetings, participating in the national debate, launching reports, and giving seminars we seek stay in touch with stakeholders in global development, including government officials, parliamentarians, academics and members of think tanks, NGO representatives, business leaders and journalists.
