The portfolio performance has improved significantly compared with the mid-90s. The World Bank monitors its quality of lending by identifying Projects at Risk, projects which require greater attention. Overall, the level of commitments at risk dropped from 49 percent in 1995 to 12 percent in 2001, and has sustained its sound performance since 2002. The quality of the WSS portfolio is very much in line with the complete World Bank portfolio. This improved quality was obtained through increased emphasis on quality-at-entry (assessment of the quality of projects as they enter the lending program), and on early closing of nonperforming projects.
