Media

The World Bank in Brussels aims to offer a wide range of products and events that are of interest to the Brussels-based media. Our office regularly organizes pre-embargo report launches like the World Development Report, the Global Economic Prospectsand the Global Development Finance.

Also, we can be helpful with arranging interviews in Brussels with visiting World Bank senior officials and experts.

We can also be of assistance with background research required for articles and material for the audiovisual media.

Broadcasters and photographers are referred to the free website http://www.thenewsmarket.com/where we store high-quality World Bank-related pictures and clips.
