why-mattersWhy It Matters

World Bank Group guarantees do more than cover losses — they unlock opportunity:

  • Stronger Protection: The World Bank Group's relationships with shareholder governments help deter harmful actions and protect investments.
  • Top-tier ESG standards: We help investors and lenders ensure that projects comply with what are considered to be the world’s best social and environmental safeguards.
  • Early Dispute Resolution: As an honest broker, we step in at any sign of trouble to resolve investment issues and keep projects running smoothly. If we are unable to prevent a claim, our strong balance sheet allows us to make prompt payments.
  • Better Financing: We help attract more funding with longer loan terms (up to 20 years), while lowering borrowing costs.
  • Global Expertise: We offer decades of experience and deep local knowledge in emerging markets.

Products and Services

We offer a flexible menu of guarantee products. Clients can access these guarantees individually, combine them for greater protection, or integrate them with other World Bank Group financial instruments to create comprehensive packages.
