SUMMARY INFORMATION

As of June 30, 2022, unless otherwise indicated

The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) is an international organization established in 1945 and owned by its member countries. As a global development cooperative owned by 189 member countries, IBRD’s purpose is to work with its borrowing members so that they can achieve equitable and sustainable economic growth in their national economies and find effective solutions to pressing regional and global problems in economic development and environmental sustainability, all with a view to overcoming poverty and improving standards of living. It pursues this goal primarily by providing financing, risk management products, and other financial services, access to experts and a pool of knowledge in development-related disciplines, so that borrowing members can pool, administer and prioritize resources they dedicate to development-related objectives. IBRD has 189 shareholders, of which the six largest shareholders are the United States (with 15.79% of the total voting power), Japan (7.44%), China (5.33%), Germany (4.10%), and France and the United Kingdom (with 3.92% each).

The financial strength of IBRD is based on the continued support it receives from its shareholders, and on its array of financial policies and practices. Shareholder support for IBRD is reflected in the capital backing it continues to receive from its members and in the record of its borrowing member countries in meeting their debt service obligations to IBRD. On October 1, 2018, the Governors approved a new GCI and SCI. The new GCI and SCI are part of a capital package endorsed by the Governors in April 2018 that includes institutional and financial reforms designed to ensure long-term financial sustainability. The capital increases will result in additional subscribed capital of up to $60.1 billion, with $7.5 billion of paid-in capital and $52.6 billion of callable capital.

Basis of Reporting and Results of Operations

IBRD’s financial statements conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). All financial instruments in the investment and borrowing portfolios and all other derivatives are reported at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in the Statement of Income, except for changes in IBRD’s own credit, which are reflected in Other Comprehensive Income. IBRD’s loans are reported at amortized cost, except for loans with embedded derivatives, if any, which are reported at fair value. Management uses net income as the basis for deriving allocable income.

IBRD had a net income of $3,990 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. Management recommends allocations out of net income to augment reserves and support developmental activities at the end of each fiscal year. Net income allocation decisions are based on allocable income, which is derived by adjusting the reported net income to exclude certain items, in order to arrive at amounts realized during the year and available for use. IBRD has earned positive allocable income in every year since 1964. IBRD’s allocable income was $806 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.

Equity and Borrowings

Equity – As of June 30, 2022, IBRD’s shareholders have subscribed to $307.1 billion of capital, $20.5 billion of which has been paid in and the remainder of which is callable. The callable portion may be called only to meet IBRD’s obligations for borrowings or guarantees; it may not be used for making loans. IBRD’s equity also included $35.0 billion of retained earnings. The equity-to-loans ratio was 22.0%.

Borrowings – IBRD diversifies its borrowings by currency, country, source and maturity to provide flexibility and cost-effectiveness in funding. It has borrowed in all of the world’s major capital markets, as well as directly from member governments and central banks. IBRD’s outstanding borrowings totaled $235.2 billion as of June 30, 2022.

Assets

Loans – The largest component of IBRD’s assets are its loans outstanding. The net loans outstanding were $227.1 billion as of June 30, 2022. IBRD’s net loan commitments in FY 2022 totaled $33.1 billion. In accordance with the Articles of Agreement (Articles), all of IBRD’s loans are made to, or guaranteed by, countries that are members of IBRD. IBRD’s Articles also limit the total amount of loans and guarantees IBRD can extend. IBRD loans are made only to countries deemed creditworthy. It is IBRD’s practice not to reschedule interest or principal payments on its loans.

Loans in nonaccrual status totaled 0.2% of IBRD’s loan portfolio and related to one borrower country. IBRD’s accumulated loan loss provision was 0.8% of its total loans outstanding as of June 30, 2022.

Liquid Asset Portfolio – IBRD holds a portfolio of liquid investments to help ensure that it can meet its financial commitments and to retain flexibility in the timing of its market borrowings. As of June 30, 2022, its liquid asset portfolio totaled $78.8 billion. Under IBRD’s liquidity management guidelines, aggregate liquid asset holdings are kept at or above a specified prudential minimum to safeguard against cash flow interruptions. The Target Liquidity Level represents twelve-months’ coverage as calculated at the start of every fiscal year. The Prudential Minimum is defined as 80% of the Target Liquidity Level. The maximum guideline of 150% of the Target Liquidity Level continues to function as a guideline rather than a hard ceiling. As of June 30, 2022, the liquid asset portfolio was 138% of the Target Liquidity Level. The FY23 Target Liquidity Level is set at $54 billion, $3 billion lower than FY22 due to the lower projected debt service for FY23.

Asset / Liability Management

IBRD seeks to avoid exchange rate risks by matching its liabilities in various currencies with assets in those same currencies and by matching the currency composition of its equity to that of its outstanding loans. IBRD also seeks to limit its interest rate risk in its loan and liquidity portfolio. IBRD uses derivatives, including currency and interest rate swaps, in connection with its operations in order to better manage balance sheet risks. The credit exposures on swaps are controlled through specified credit-rating requirements for counterparties and through netting and collateralization arrangements.

Section I: Executive Summary

With its many years of experience and its depth of knowledge in the international development arena, IBRD plays a key role in achieving the World Bank Group’s (WBG1) goal of helping countries achieve better development outcomes. IBRD contributes to both the WBG’s twin goals of ending extreme poverty and promoting shared prosperity, and to the Forward Look2, by providing countries with loans, advisory services and analytical support.

IBRD and its affiliated organizations seek to help countries achieve improvements in growth, job creation, poverty reduction, governance, the environment, climate adaptation and resilience, human capital, infrastructure and debt transparency, among others. To meet its development goals, the WBG has been increasing its focus on country programs in order to improve growth and development outcomes. Further, in response to the ongoing coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and other geopolitical events, IBRD continues to work in solidarity with partners at global and country levels to support its borrowing countries.

Further, the last fiscal year brought new challenges to the global outlook – high inflation and the rise in food insecurity that came on top of growing inequality, global fragility, the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and other geopolitical events, rising debt, and macroeconomic imbalances. In response, IBRD, as part of the WBG efforts, continues to work with partners at global and country levels to support its borrowing countries in addressing the impact of these multiple crises, to enhance resilience, and lay the groundwork for rebuilding better. The responses all remain in compliance with IBRD’s existing financial, operational and risk management policies.

Summary Financial Results

Net Income

IBRD recorded net income of $3,990 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $1,951 million, compared with net income of $2,039 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. The increase in FY22 was largely due to higher unrealized mark-to-market gains on IBRD’s non-trading portfolios compared to FY21, primarily from derivatives in the loan portfolio. Given IBRD’s intention to maintain its non-trading portfolio positions to maturity, unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses are not included in IBRD’s allocable income.

The other WBG institutions are the International Development Association (IDA), the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), and the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID). The World Bank consists of IBRD and IDA.

2 

The Forward Look: A Vision for the WBG in 2030, describes how the WBG will deliver on its twin goals and its three priorities of sustainable and inclusive growth, human capital, and resilience. The Forward Look rests on four pillars: serving all clients; mobilizing resources for development and creating markets; leading on global issues; and improving the business model.

Allocable Income

Allocable income is the measure IBRD uses for making net income allocation decisions. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, allocable income was $806 million, compared with $1,248 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in allocable income was mainly due to higher provision for losses on loans and other exposures, primarily reflecting the increase in the loss given default (severity) due to the increase in the implied forward interest rates during the year (See Section III).

Lending Operations

IBRD’s lending operations during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 provided $33.1 billion of net commitments, the highest annual amount in a decade, and $28.2 billion of gross loan disbursements. Net disbursements of $14.9 billion were the key driver for the increase in net loans outstanding, from $218.8 billion at the end of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, to $227.1 billion at the end of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.

Net commitments were $2.6 billion higher compared with FY21 (Table 9), reflecting continued support for COVID-19 related efforts, including $3.3 billion of financing for COVID-19 vaccines. The regions with the largest share of commitments during FY22 were Latin America and the Caribbean with 28% and Europe and Central Asia with 18%.

Net Investment Portfolio

 

IBRD’s net investment portfolio decreased by $3.7 billion, from $85.8 billion as of June 30, 2021, to $82.1 billion as of June 30, 2022. The investments remain concentrated in the upper end of the credit spectrum, with 77% rated AA or above (Table 30), reflecting IBRD’s objective of principal protection and its preference for high-quality investments.

LOGO

Borrowing Portfolio

 

As of June 30, 2022, the borrowings portfolio was $256.9 billion, $3.2 billion higher than June 30, 2021. The increase was mainly due to net new debt issuances that financed development and lending operations and satisfied liquidity requirements. The debt issuances were highly diversified in terms of investor types and location, with an average maturity of 7.6 years.

Equity-to-Loans Ratio

 

The Equity-to-Loans ratio was 22.0% as of June 30, 2022, above the policy minimum of 20%. It was lower compared with 22.6% as of June 30, 2021, as the increase in the loan and other exposures outpaced the increase in usable equity. In line with IBRD’s currency management policy, exchange rate movements during the year did not have an impact on IBRD’s equity-to-loans ratio.

 

In FY22, IBRD received $1.3 billion of paid-in capital subscribed under the 2018 General and Selective Capital Increases (GCI and SCI), bringing the cumulative amounts received to $4.0 billion, 54% of the total amount expected over the subscription period.

Section II: Overview

Introduction

IBRD, an international organization owned by its 189-member countries, is one of the five institutions of the WBG. Each institution is legally and financially independent, with separate assets and liabilities. IBRD is not liable for the obligations of the other institutions.

IBRD is a multilateral development bank that combines knowledge services and financing with a global reach. IBRD’s value derives from its ability to help eligible borrowing members address their development challenges and meet their rising demand for innovative products. IBRD provides loans, guarantees, and other financial products for development-focused projects and programs to creditworthy middle-income and lower-income countries to support sustainable development. By operating across a full range of country clients, IBRD maintains a depth of development knowledge, uses its convening power to promote development and advance the global public goods agenda, and coordinates responses to regional and global challenges.

Member countries use IBRD’s technical advice and analysis and convening power to develop or implement better policies, programs, and reforms that help sustain development over the long term. The products delivered range from development data, to reports in key social economic and social issues at the local, country, regional and global levels. The products also include knowledge-sharing workshops focused on local issues, to flagship events and fora to address the most pressing global development challenges.

Presentation

This document provides management’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations for IBRD for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. At the end of this document there is a Glossary of Terms and a list of Abbreviations and Acronyms. Certain reclassifications of prior years’ information have been made to conform to the current year’s presentation.

Financial Business Model

IBRD’s objective is not to maximize profits, but to earn adequate income to ensure that it has the long-term financial capacity necessary to support its development activities. IBRD seeks to generate sufficient revenue to finance its operations as well as to be able to set aside funds in reserves to strengthen its financial position.

It also seeks to provide support to IDA and trust funds via income transfers for other developmental purposes.

IBRD’s financial strength rests on the support it receives from its shareholders, and on its array of financial policies and practices. Shareholder support for IBRD is reflected in the capital backing it continues to receive from its members and in the record of its borrowing member countries in meeting their debt service obligations to IBRD. Sound financial and risk management policies and practices have enabled IBRD to maintain adequate capital, diversify its funding sources, hold a portfolio of liquid investments to meet its financial commitments, and limit its risks, including credit and market risks.

IBRD offers its borrowers, in creditworthy middle-income and lower-income countries, long-term loans with maturities up to 35 years. Borrowers may customize their repayment terms to meet their debt management or project needs, and loans have fixed or variable spread terms in multiple currencies. Effective April 1, 2021, IBRD’s offering of loans on fixed spread terms has been suspended in the context of the global markets’ transition away from the London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR). Borrowers have generally preferred loans denominated in U.S dollars and euros. IBRD also supports its borrowers by providing access to risk management products such as derivative instruments, including currency and interest rate swaps and interest rate caps and collars.

To meet its development goals, IBRD intermediates funds for lending from the international capital markets. IBRD’s loans are financed through its equity, and from borrowings raised in the capital markets. IBRD is rated triple-A by the major rating agencies and its bonds are viewed as high-quality securities by investors. IBRD’s

funding strategy is aimed at achieving the best long-term value on a sustainable basis for its borrowing members. This strategy has enabled IBRD to borrow at favorable market terms and pass the savings on to its borrowing members. IBRD’s annual funding volumes vary from year to year, and funds raised are used to finance IBRD’s development projects and programs in member countries. Funds not deployed for lending are maintained in IBRD’s investment portfolio to supply liquidity for its operations. Figure 1 below illustrates IBRD’s financial business model.

Figure 1: IBRD’s Financial Business Model

 

 

LOGO

IBRD uses derivatives to manage its exposure to various market risks from the above activities. These are used to align the interest and currency composition of its assets (loan and investment trading portfolios) with that of its liabilities (borrowing portfolio), and to stabilize earnings on the portion of the loan portfolio funded by equity. See Section IX: Risk Management for additional details on how IBRD uses derivatives.

Management believes that these risk management strategies, taken together, effectively manage market risk in IBRD’s operations from an economic perspective. However, these strategies entail the use of derivatives, which introduce the potential for volatility in net income through unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses (particularly given the long-term nature of some of IBRD’s assets and liabilities). Accordingly, management makes decisions on income allocation without reference to unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on risk management instruments in the non-trading portfolios – see Basis of Reporting – Allocable Income.    

Financial Performance

IBRD’s primary sources of revenue are from loans and investments, both net of funding costs (see Figure 2). These revenues cover administrative expenses, provisions for losses on loans and other exposures3 (LLP), as well as transfers to Reserves, Surplus, and for other development purposes, including transfers to IDA.

In addition, other development activities generate non-interest revenue that is classified as Revenue from externally funded activities. These external funds include trust funds, reimbursable funds and revenues from fee-based services to member countries. Noninterest revenue from externally funded activities provides additional capacity to support the development needs of client countries.

Other exposures include deferred drawdown options (DDO), irrevocable commitments, exposures to member countries’ derivatives and guarantees.

Basis of Reporting

Audited Financial Statements

IBRD’s financial statements conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). All financial instruments in the investment and borrowing portfolios and all other derivatives are reported at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in the Statement of Income, except for changes in IBRD’s own credit, which are reflected in Other Comprehensive Income. IBRD’s loans are reported at amortized cost, except for loans with embedded derivatives, if any, which are reported at fair value. Management uses net income as the basis for deriving allocable income, as discussed below.

Allocable Income

IBRD’s Articles of Agreement (the Articles) require that the Governors determine the allocation of income at the end of every fiscal year. Allocable income, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is an internal management measure that reflects income available for allocation. IBRD defines allocable income as net income after certain adjustments, that are approved by the Board at the end of every fiscal year. These adjustments primarily relate to unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses associated with its non-trading portfolios, as well as the expenses for Board of Governors-approved and other transfers, which primarily relate to the allocation of the prior year’s net income.

See Financial Results Section (Section III) for details of the adjustments to reported net income to calculate allocable income.

The volatility in IBRD’s reported net income is usually driven by the unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on the derivative instruments in IBRD’s non-trading portfolios: loans, borrowings, and other asset/liability management (ALM). IBRD’s risk management strategy entails the use of derivatives to manage market risk. These derivatives are primarily used to align the interest rate and currency bases of its assets and liabilities. IBRD has elected not to designate any hedging relationships for accounting purposes. Rather, all derivative instruments are reported at fair value on the Balance Sheet, with changes in fair values accounted for through the Statement of Income.

Table of Contents

In line with its financial risk management policies, for the non-trading portfolios, unrealized gains and losses from instruments carried at fair value (borrowings and associated derivatives, and derivatives in the loan and other ALM portfolios) are excluded from allocable income.

For the trading portfolio (investment portfolio), allocable income generally includes both realized and unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses. In some cases, the unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on certain trades are excluded from allocable income when the hedged item is a physical asset held at amortized cost.

a.

The fair value of IBRD’s loans was $225,046 million as of June 30, 2022 ($223,687 million – June 30, 2021).

The main drivers of the change in the Balance sheet items are: 1) decrease in investments and due from banks primarily from translation adjustment losses and the reduction in cash collateral balances, 2) increase in net loans outstanding due to net loan disbursements, partially offset by translation adjustment losses, and 3) decrease in borrowings from mark-to-market gains as a result of the increase in interest rates, with offsetting losses on derivatives that decreased derivative assets and increased derivative liabilities.

Net Income

IBRD’s net income was $3,990 million in FY22, compared with net income of $2,039 million in FY21. The increase was primarily due to net unrealized mark-to-market gains on the loan-related derivatives of $5,988 million in FY22 compared to gains of $2,415 million in FY21. The gains in both years were mainly driven by the increase in interest rates, with a greater increase and resultant gains in FY22 (see Table 1 and Notes to Financial Statements, Note L: Fair Value Disclosures, Table L11).

Results from Lending activities

Loan Interest Revenue, net

Under IBRD’s pricing policy, the lending rates for all of IBRD’s loans are based on the underlying cost of the borrowings funding these loans. After the effect of related derivatives (see Figure 24 and Figure 25), the loan and borrowing portfolios are based on variable interest rates, and the portion of the loan portfolio funded by equity is sensitive to changes in short-term interest rates.

 

Figure 3: Loan interest revenue and funding cost (including derivatives)

Figure 4: Loan interest revenue, net

 

In millions of U.S. dollars

LOGO

The increase in IBRD’s loan interest revenue and corresponding increase in the loan funding cost in FY22 compared to FY21 (Figure 3) was primarily due to the increase in the average balance of the loan and borrowing portfolios.

IBRD’s FY22 loan interest revenue, net of funding costs was $1,892 million, an increase of $138 million compared with $1,754 million in FY21. The increase was primarily due to the higher average balance, as well as the impact of the pricing measures previously adopted.

Other ALM derivatives moderate the impact of interest rate changes on the portion of the loan portfolio that is sensitive to interest rate movements, thereby stabilizing the net interest revenue earned from these loans (see Figure 4). Other ALM derivatives comprise interest rate swaps which are used to convert the variable rate cash flows from these loans to fixed rate cash flows. The combined effect of the decrease in interest revenue from Other ALM derivatives, net of $21 million and the increase in loan interest revenue, net of $138 million from FY21 to FY22, resulted in a total increase in net loan interest revenue of $117 million.

Provision for losses on loans and other exposures

During FY22, IBRD recorded a provision for losses on loans and other exposures of $562 million, $415 million higher than the same period in FY21, primarily reflecting the increase in the loss given default (severity) due to the increase in the implied forward interest rates during the year. The severity reflects the expected losses from delays in receiving interest payments since IBRD does not charge for overdue interest. As the majority of IBRD’s loans carry a variable interest rate, increases in forward interest rates increase the expected losses that are recorded through the provision for losses on loans and other exposures in the statement of income.

As of June 30, 2022, IBRD’s net loans outstanding totaled $227.1 billion, $8.3 billion or 4% higher than June 30, 2021 (see Figure 5). The increase was mainly attributable to $14.9 billion of net loan disbursements in FY22, partially offset by currency translation loss of $6.0 billion, primarily due to the 12.5% depreciation of the euro against the U.S. dollar during the year.

Gross disbursements were $28.2 billion, 19% higher compared to FY21, primarily due to higher disbursements for Investment Project Financing (IPF) operations.

Investment Portfolio

IBRD’s net investment portfolio was $82.1 billion as of June 30, 2022 ($85.8 billion as of June 30, 2021). Of this amount $78.8 billion related to the liquid asset portfolio ($82.8 billion as of June 30, 2021). See Note C: Investments in the Notes to the Financial Statements. The decreased level of liquidity reflects the lower debt service requirements and higher loan disbursements during the year (see Section VI).

Table of Contents

Net Investment Revenue

During FY22, IBRD’s net investment revenue decreased by $89 million, compared to FY21. This was mainly due to the unrealized mark-to market losses in FY22 compared to unrealized mark-to-market gains in FY21. The impact of the increase in interest rates drove the unrealized mark-to-market losses in FY22, while FY21 saw a decline in interest rates.

Results from Borrowing Activities

As of June 30, 2022, the borrowing portfolio was $256.9 billion, $3.2 billion higher than June 30, 2021 (see Note E: Borrowings in the Notes to the Financial Statements). The increase was primarily due to new net short-term debt issuances during the year. New issuances of medium-and long-term debt of $40.8 billion during the year (Table 24) were highly diversified by currencies, with an average maturity of 7.6 years. The decrease in medium-and long-term debt issuances in FY22 is primarily due to lower debt servicing and refinancing requirements.

Net Other Revenue

Net other revenue represents certain non-interest sources of revenue, which was lower by $192 million during FY22. The decrease was mainly due to lower investment earnings from the PEBP and PCRF holdings, consistent with prevailing market conditions.

Net Non-Interest Expenses

As shown in Table 5, IBRD’s net non-interest expenses primarily comprise administrative expenses, net of revenue from externally funded activities. IBRD/IDA’s administrative budget is a single resource envelope that funds the combined work programs of IBRD and IDA. The allocation of net administrative expenses between IBRD and IDA is based on an agreed cost and revenue sharing methodology, approved by their Boards, which is primarily driven by the relative level of lending, knowledge services, and other services between these two institutions. The administrative expenses shown in Table 5 include costs related to IBRD-executed trust funds and other externally funded activities.

On a GAAP basis, net non-interest expenses in FY22 decreased by $220 million compared to FY21. This is primarily due to the decrease in pension costs, mainly driven by the higher return on plan assets in FY21, which resulted in lower amortization of unrecognized actuarial losses in FY22.

Figure 9: Net Non-Interest Expenses

(GAAP basis)

In millions of U.S. dollars

 

LOGO

IBRD’s net non-interest expenses for allocable income purposes were $1,245 million in FY22 compared to $1,182 million in FY21, an increase of $63 million. FY21’s net non-interest expenses were significantly impacted by COVID-related restrictions. FY22’s increase was driven by higher travel expenses due to the gradual easing of COVID-related travel restrictions/office closures, inflationary cost pressures, acceleration of work programs from the high level of lending activities during the year as well as additional support and engagement in FCV countries to address the growing needs and the increase in conflict situations. As a result, travel costs increased by $47 million but are still less than what they were before the COVID pandemic, approximately 33% of FY19 costs. The cost of operating in FCV countries also affected expenses including costs associated with evacuations and security in dangerous situations.

Table of Contents

IBRD monitors its net administrative expenses as a percentage of its loan spread revenue (Box 2) and certain fee revenue, using an efficiency measure referred to as the Budget Anchor. In FY22, IBRD’s Budget Anchor was 65.4%, a decline of 0.3 percentage point compared with 65.7% in FY21. The decline was due to increase in loan spread revenue partially offset by an increase in net non-interest expenses during the year due to the gradual easing of COVID related travel restrictions/office closures and acceleration of work programs in FY22 compared to FY21 (see Table 6 and Figure 10 for details of the Budget Anchor components).

Unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on non-trading portfolios

Unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses associated with the non-trading portfolios are excluded from reported net income to arrive at allocable income. As a result, from a long-term financial sustainability perspective, income allocations are generally based on amounts that have been realized (except for the Investments-Trading portfolio, as previously discussed). For FY22, $3,356 million of net unrealized mark-to-market gains ($1,218 million net unrealized mark-to-market gains in FY21) were excluded from reported net income to arrive at allocable income (see Table 1).

Loan Portfolio

Loans are reported at amortized cost, whereas the derivatives which convert the loans from fixed-rate to variable-rate instruments for asset liability management purposes, are reported at fair value. As a result, while from an economic perspective, IBRD’s loans after the effect of derivatives carry variable interest rates, and therefore have a low sensitivity to interest rates, the mark to market effect is not reflected in the reported net income. Net income includes only the unrealized mark to market gains and losses on loan related derivatives, which in FY22 was a gain of $5,988 million, primarily due to the increase in the interest rates during the year. See Section IX: Risk Management for additional details on how IBRD uses derivatives in the loan portfolio.

Borrowing Portfolio

IBRD’s bonds and the related derivatives are reported at fair value. IBRD recorded $747 million of net unrealized mark-to-market gains on IBRD’s bonds and associated derivatives for the year ended June 30, 2022. The gains on the bonds, due to the increase in interest rates, exceeded the losses on the bond-related derivatives as the bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates (Figure 23). The net unrealized mark-to-market gains on IBRD’s bonds exclude changes in IBRD’s own credit, referred to as the Debit Valuation Adjustment (DVA), which is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI). In FY22, the DVA was $582 million of unrealized mark-to-market gains, resulting mainly from the widening of IBRD’s credit spreads relative to the applicable reference rate during the year. As of June 30, 2022, IBRD’s Balance Sheet included a cumulative DVA of $364 million of mark-to-market gains reflected in AOCI (See Notes to the Financial Statements, Note L –Fair Value Disclosures).

Other ALM Portfolio

IBRD uses derivatives to stabilize its interest revenue from the portion of loans which are sensitive to changes in short-term interest rates. The Other ALM portfolio consists of derivatives which convert variable rate cash flows to fixed rate cash flows. In FY22, IBRD recorded unrealized mark-to-market losses of $3,392 million on this

portfolio, primarily due to the increase in interest rates during the year. As of June 30, 2022, the duration of this portfolio was 3.4 years, within the Board established limit of 5 years.

Net Income Allocation

Net income allocation decisions are based on allocable income. Management recommends allocations out of net income to the Board at the end of each fiscal year to augment reserves and support developmental activities. As illustrated in Table 8, the key differences between allocable income and reported net income relate to unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on IBRD’s non-trading portfolios, and expenses related to Board of Governors-approved and other transfers.

c.

Represents the difference between the pension cost incurred and pension contributions.

All of the adjustments between reported net income and allocable income are recommended by management and approved by the Board:

Board of Governors-approved and other transfers

Board of Governors-approved and other transfers refer to the allocations recommended by the Board and approved by the Governors, as part of the prior year’s net income allocation process and subsequent decisions on uses of surplus, as well as on payments from restricted retained earnings.

Since these amounts primarily relate to allocations out of IBRD’s FY21 allocable income, Surplus, or restricted retained earnings, they are excluded from FY22 reported net income in calculating FY22 allocable income.

Non-functional currency translation adjustment gains/losses

Translation gains and losses relating to non-functional currencies are reflected in reported net income. Since these are unrealized gains/losses that relate to asset/liability positions still held by IBRD, they are excluded from reported net income to arrive at allocable income.

Unrealized mark-to-market gains/losses on non-trading portfolios

These mainly comprise unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on the loan, borrowing, and other ALM portfolios as discussed previously.

 

21


Table of Contents

Unrealized mark-to-market gains/losses on certain positions in the investments-trading portfolio, net

This adjustment applies to trades where the unrealized gains and losses on derivative forward contracts are recorded in the statement of income and the underlying physical assets being purchased and sold are recorded at amortized cost during the holding period. In these cases, the unrealized gains and losses on the forward contract at the end of the reporting period (if any) are excluded from net income when calculating allocable income. As of June 30, 2022, there were no active trades requiring adjustment.

Pension, PEBP and PCRF adjustments

The Pension adjustment reflects the difference between the accounting expense and IBRD’s cash contributions to the pension plans, the Post-Employment Benefit Plan (PEBP) and the Post-Retirement Contribution Reserve Fund (PCRF). It also includes investment revenue earned on pension plan, PEBP, and PCRF assets. The PCRF was established by the Board to stabilize contributions to the pension and post-retirement benefits plans. Management bases allocation decisions on IBRD’s cash contributions to the pension plans, PEBP and PCRF, rather than pension accounting expenses. In addition, Management has designated the income from these assets to meet the future needs of the pension plans. As a result, PEBP and PCRF investment revenues are excluded from allocable income.

Other Adjustments

 

 

Under certain arrangements (such as Externally Financed Outputs), IBRD enters into agreements with donors under which it receives grants to finance specified IBRD outputs or services. These funds may be utilized only for the purposes specified in the agreements and are, therefore, considered restricted until IBRD has fulfilled those purposes. Management excludes amounts arising from these arrangements from allocable income, because IBRD has no discretion over the use of the related funds. In line with this, the income is transferred out of restricted retained earnings and in FY22, the net balance of these restricted funds decreased by $16 million.

 

 

The income recognized for the right to receive reimbursement from the FIF related to the PAF for Methane and Climate Change Mitigation4 is excluded, as this is required for the payout for the changes in market value on put options under the PAF. Therefore, it is not available for other uses. In FY22, $5 million of expense was recognized in reported net income, and thus excluded to arrive at the FY22 allocable income. The change in the market value of the put option is also excluded from reported net income to arrive at allocable income, as part of the unrealized mark-to market gains/(losses) on non-trading portfolios. All PAF trades matured during FY22.

 

 

 

Effective from FY22, the difference between fee revenue and expenses from the Reserve Advisory and Management Partnership (RAMP) program is excluded from the reported net income to arrive at allocable income. Under the Board-approved framework, RAMP fees are dedicated for the purpose of providing technical assistance and asset management services to external clients. Due to the potential timing mismatch between fee revenue (recognized as earned) and program expenditures (recognized when incurred), fees earned in a given fiscal year may be used to provide services in a future fiscal year. To ensure that RAMP revenues are only used for the delivery of RAMP services, and not allocated for other purposes, any difference between fee revenue and expenses from RAMP included in reported net income are excluded to arrive at allocable net income. In FY22, the difference between fee revenue and expenses from RAMP of $7 million was excluded to arrive at the FY22 allocable income.

 

4 

In FY16, IBRD issued put options for methane and climate change mitigation. The PAF is a climate finance model developed by IBRD to stimulate investment in projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions in developing countries. The PAF is a pay-for-performance mechanism which uses auctions to allocate public funds and attract private sector investment to projects that reduce methane emissions by providing a medium-term guaranteed floor price on emission rights.

Income Allocation

Since 1964, IBRD has made transfers to IDA from its net income, upon approval by the Board of Governors. In FY17, the Board approved a formula-based approach for determining IBRD’s transfers to IDA. The approach links transfers to IBRD’s allocable income for the year, ensuring that most allocable income is retained to grow IBRD’s reserves. In addition, as part of the commitment made under the 2018 capital package, the incremental revenue from the 2018 price increase is excluded from the formula used to calculate the amount to be transferred to IDA, and fully retained in IBRD’s reserves.

IBRD’s strong support of IDA is reflected in the $16.4 billion of cumulative income transfers it has made since IDA’s first replenishment.

Annual IDA transfer recommendations are subject to approval by the Governors as part of the net income allocation process in accordance with IBRD’s Articles. In making their decisions, Governors will continue to take the overall financial standing of IBRD into consideration.

Allocable income in FY22 was $806 million, and of this, the Board approved the allocation of $589 million to the General Reserve on August 4, 2022, and the Board recommended to IBRD’s Governors a transfer of $117 million to IDA and $100 million to Surplus.

Section IV: Lending Activities

IBRD provides financing instruments and knowledge services to middle-income and creditworthy low-income countries to reduce poverty and promote shared prosperity, while ensuring that social, environmental, and governance considerations are taken into account. Country teams with an understanding of each country’s circumstances work with clients to tailor the mix of instruments, products, and services.

Engagements with borrowing members are aligned with IBRD’s strategic priorities, including engagements that support global public goods such as climate, fragility and gender.

Projects and programs supported by IBRD are designed to achieve a positive social impact and undergo a rigorous review and internal approval process, aimed at safeguarding equitable and sustainable economic growth, that includes early screening to identify environmental and social impacts and designing mitigation actions.

Identifying and appraising a project, and approving and disbursing a loan, can often take several years. However, IBRD has shortened the preparation and approval cycle for countries in emergency situations (e.g., natural disasters) and in crises (e.g., food, fuel, and global economic crises).

Loan disbursements must meet the requirements set out in loan agreements. During implementation of IBRD-supported operations, IBRD’s staff review progress, monitor compliance with IBRD policies, and help resolve any problems that may arise. The Independent Evaluation Group, an IBRD unit whose Director General reports to the Board, evaluates the extent to which operations have met their development objectives.

All IBRD loans, are made to, or guaranteed by, member countries. IBRD may also make loans to IFC without any guarantee. In most cases, IBRD’s Board approves each loan and guarantee after appraisal of a project by staff. Under the Multiphase Programmatic Approach, the Board may approve an overall program framework, its financing envelope and the first appraised phase, and then authorize Management to appraise and commit financing for later program phases.

For FY23, eligible countries with 2021 per capita Gross National Income (GNI) of more than $1,255 are eligible to borrow from IBRD.

Net Lending Commitments and Gross Disbursements

IBRD provided $33.1 billion of new net loan commitments in FY22, through 136 operations (including blend operations), an increase of $2.6 billion (8%) compared to FY21, mainly driven by the increase in Development Policy Financing (DPF) commitments (Figure 12).

Lending Categories

IBRD’s lending is classified in three categories: investment project financing, development policy financing, and program-for-results (Figure 12).

Investment Project Financing (IPF)

IPF provides financing for a wide range of activities aimed at creating the physical and social infrastructure necessary to reduce poverty and create sustainable development. IPF is usually disbursed over the long-term (roughly a 5 to 10-year horizon). FY22 net commitments under this lending category were $14.1 billion, compared with $14.5 billion in FY21.

Development Policy Financing (DPF)

DPF aims to support borrowers in achieving sustainable development through a program of policy and institutional actions. Examples of DPF projects include strengthening public financial management, improving the investment climate, addressing bottlenecks to improve service delivery, and diversifying the economy. DPF supports reforms through non-earmarked general budget financing. DPF provides fast-disbursing financing (roughly 1 to 3 years) to help borrowers address actual or anticipated financing requirements. FY22 net commitments under this lending category were $13.2 billion, compared with $10.8 billion in FY21.

Program-for-Results (PforR)

PforR helps countries improve the design and implementation of their development programs and achieve specific results by strengthening institutions and building capacity. PforR disburses when agreed results are achieved and verified. Results are identified and agreed upon during the loan preparation stage.

FY22 net commitments under this lending category were $5.8 billion compared with $5.2 billion in FY21.

Currently Available Lending Products

As of June 30, 2022, 85 member countries were eligible to borrow from IBRD. See Appendix for a list of eligible countries.

IBRD Flexible Loans (IFLs)

IFLs allow borrowers to customize their repayment terms (i.e., grace period, repayment period, and amortization profile) to meet their debt management or project needs. The IFL previously offered two types of loan terms: variable-spread terms and fixed-spread terms. Effective April 1, 2021, IBRD’s offering of loans on fixed spread terms as well as a related conversion feature from the variable spread terms to fixed spread terms was suspended (see section IX: Risk Management). As of June 30, 2022, 71% of IBRD’s loans outstanding carried variable-spread terms and 29% had fixed-spread terms. See Table 13 for details of loan terms for IFL loans.

IFLs include options to manage the currency and/or interest rate risk over the life of the loan. The outstanding balance of loans, for which currency or interest rate conversions have been exercised was $41.6 billion as of June 30, 2022 and $38.8 billion as of June 30, 2021. IFLs may be denominated in the currency or currencies chosen by the borrower if IBRD can efficiently intermediate in that currency. Using currency conversions, some borrowing member countries have converted their IBRD loans into domestic currencies to reduce their foreign currency exposure for projects or programs that do not generate foreign currency revenue. These local currency loans may carry fixed or variable-spread terms. The balance of such loans outstanding was $3.7 billion as of June 30, 2022 and $3.5 billion as of June 30, 2021. Box 2 below shows the components of the spread on IBRD’s IFLs and how these are determined.

Box 2: Components of Loan spread

 

 Contractual lending spread

  Set by Management

 Funding Cost Margin

 

The ability to offer long-term financing distinguishes development banks from other sources of funding for member countries. Since IBRD introduced maturity-based pricing in 2010, most countries continue to choose loans with the longer maturities with a higher maturity premium, highlighting the value of longer maturities to member countries. However, in FY22, due to the ongoing multiple crises, some countries requested more fast-disbursing loans with shorter maturities (See Table 11).

Description

 

    

Loans with a Deferred Drawdown Option

  

The Development Policy Loan Deferred Drawdown Option (DPL DDO) gives borrowers the flexibility to rapidly obtain the financing they require. For example, such funds could be needed owing to a shortfall in resources caused by unfavorable economic events, such as declines in growth or unfavorable shifts in commodity prices or terms of trade. The Catastrophe Risk DDO (CAT DDO) enables borrowers to access immediate funding to respond rapidly in the wake of a natural disaster. Under the DPL DDO, borrowers may defer disbursement for up to three years, renewable for an additional three years. The CAT DDO has a revolving feature, and the three-year drawdown period may be renewed up to four times, for a total maximum drawdown period of 15 years (Table 13). As of June 30, 2022, the amount of DDOs disbursed and outstanding was $8.8 billion (compared to $9.6 billion on June 30, 2021), and the undisbursed amount of effective DDOs were $0.6 billion, compared to Nil a year earlier.

    

Special Development Policy Loans (SDPLs)

  

SDPLs support structural and social reforms by creditworthy borrowers that face a possible global financial crisis or are already in a crisis and have extraordinary and urgent external financing needs. As of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, the outstanding balance of such loans was Nil. IBRD made no new SDPL commitments in either FY22 or FY21.

    

Loan-Related Derivatives

  

IBRD assists its borrowers with access to better risk management tools by offering derivative instruments, including currency and interest rate swaps and interest rate caps and collars, associated with their loans. These instruments may be executed either under a master derivatives agreement, which substantially conforms to industry standards, or under individually negotiated agreements. Under these arrangements, IBRD passes through the market cost of these instruments to its borrowers. The balance of loans outstanding for which borrowers had entered into currency or interest rate derivative transactions under a master derivatives agreement with IBRD was $9 billion as of June 30, 2022, compared with $11.1 billion a year earlier.

    

Loans with IFC

  

IBRD provides loans to IFC in connection with the release of a member’s National Currency Paid-In Capital (NCPIC) to IBRD. (See Section VIII for explanation of NCPIC). There was no outstanding amount as of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021.

Lending Terms Applicable to IBRD Products

Until the end of FY19, loans for all eligible members were subject to the same pricing. However, as part of the 2018 capital package, IBRD implemented a new pricing structure that classifies member countries into four pricing groups, based on income and other factors, and relates the maturity premium to the exemptions, discounts or surcharges applicable to each pricing group (See Table 12 below).

Discontinued Lending Products

IBRD’s loan portfolio includes lending products whose terms are no longer available for new commitments. These products include currency pool loans and fixed-rate single-currency loans. As of June 30, 2022, loans outstanding of $468 million (0.2% of the portfolio) carried terms no longer offered, with final maturity in May 2026.

Waivers

Loan terms offered prior to September 28, 2007 included a partial waiver of interest and commitment charges on eligible loans. For these loans, waivers are approved annually by the Board. For FY23, the Board has approved the same waiver rates as in FY22 for all eligible borrowers with eligible loans. The foregone income in FY22 due to previously approved waivers was $20 million (FY21: $31 million).

Figure 13 illustrates a breakdown of IBRD’s loans outstanding and undisbursed balances by loan terms, as well as loans outstanding by currency composition. The interest and currency profile of loans outstanding after the use of derivatives for risk management purposes is discussed under Market Risk in Section IX.

Section V: Other Development Activities

IBRD continues to deliver value to its client countries through its knowledge services, convening power, and capacity to implement solutions that address global issues where coordinated action is critical.

IBRD also assists clients with designing financial products and structuring transactions to help mobilize resources for development projects and mitigate the financial effects of market volatility and disasters.

Other financial products and services provided to borrowing member countries, and to affiliated and non-affiliated organizations, include financial guarantees, grants, externally-funded activities (described below), and advisory services and analytics.

Guarantees

IBRD’s exposure on its guarantees was $6.3 billion as of June 30, 2022 compared to $6.7 billion as of June 30, 2021 (see Table 15). Exposure is measured by discounting each guaranteed amount from its next call date.

IBRD offers project-based and policy-based guarantees for priority projects and programs in member countries. Project-based guarantees are provided to mobilize private financing for projects; they are also used to mitigate projects’ payment- and performance-related risks. Policy-based guarantees are provided to mobilize private financing for sovereigns or sub- sovereigns. IBRD’s guarantees are partial and are intended to provide only the coverage necessary to obtain the required private financing, considering country, market and, if appropriate, project circumstances. All guarantees require a sovereign counter-guarantee and indemnity, comparable to the requirement of a sovereign guarantee for IBRD lending to sub-sovereign and non-sovereign borrowers (see Box 4). The Corporate Risk Guarantee Committee reviews the choice of instrument for all proposed new guarantee operations.

Box 4: Types of Guarantees Provided by IBRD

 

Guarantee   Description     

Project-based guarantees

 

Two types of project-based guarantees are offered:

1.  Loan guarantees: these cover loan-related debt service defaults caused by the government’s failure to meet specific payment and/or performance obligations arising from contract, law or regulation, in relation to a project. Loan guarantees include coverage for debt service defaults on: (i) commercial debt, normally for a private sector project where the cause of debt service default is specifically covered by IBRD’s guarantee; and, (ii) a specific portion of commercial debt irrespective of the cause of such default, normally for a public-sector project.

2.  Payment guarantees: These cover payment default on non-loan related government payment obligations to private entities and foreign public entities arising from contract, law or regulation.

    

Policy-based guarantees

 

These cover debt service default, irrespective of the cause of such default, on a specific portion of commercial debt owed by national or sub national government and associated with the supported government’s program of policy and institutional actions.

    
Guarantees for enclave operations  

IBRD extends guarantees for projects in IDA-only member countries that (i) are expected to generate large economic benefits with significant developmental impact in the member country; and (ii) cannot be fully financed out of the country’s own resources, IDA resources, or other concessional financing. Those projects are known as enclave operations. The provision of IBRD support to enclave operations is subject to credit enhancement features that adequately mitigate IBRD’s credit risk.

In addition, IBRD has entered into the following arrangements, which are treated as financial guarantees under U.S. GAAP:

 

 

Advance Market Commitment (AMC): AMC is a multilateral initiative to accelerate the creation of a market and sustainable production capacity for pneumococcal vaccines for developing countries. IBRD provides a financial platform for AMC by holding donor-pledged assets as an intermediary agent and passing them on to the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) when appropriate conditions are met. Moreover, should a donor fail to pay, or delay paying any amounts due, IBRD has committed to pay from its own funds any amounts due and payable by the donor, to the extent there is a shortfall in total donor funds received. During FY22, the AMC initiative concluded and there was no exposure for IBRD as of June 30, 2022.

 

 

Exposure Exchange Agreements (EEA): IBRD has an exposure exchange agreement outstanding with MIGA under which IBRD and MIGA exchanged selected exposures through reciprocal guarantees, with each divesting itself of exposure in countries where their lending capacities are limited, in return for exposure in countries where they had excess lending capacity.

IBRD also has an EEA with the African Development Bank (AfDB) and the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB), a Multilateral Development Bank (MDB) EEA. Under this EEA, each MDB exchanged credit risk exposure of a reference portfolio supported by underlying loans to borrowing member countries. For each MDB, EEAs through diversification benefits, help reduce credit risk at the portfolio level; improve the risk-weighted capital ratios especially by addressing exposure concentration concerns; and create lending headroom for individual borrowing countries where MDBs may be constrained. The EEA involved the receipt of a guarantee and the provision of a guarantee against nonpayment in the reference portfolio by each MDB to the other. The guarantee received and the guarantee provided are two separate transactions: (a) a receipt of an asset for the right to be indemnified and receive risk coverage (recoverable asset) and (b) the provision of a financial guarantee, respectively (see Notes to the Financial Statements, Note D: Loans and Other Exposures).

 

 

Other guarantee arrangements: As of June 30, 2022, IBRD had received guarantees totaling $2,116 million ($1,544 million for FY21) on borrowing member loans. These guarantees serve as a credit enhancement to increase IBRD’s lending capacity in certain countries.

Grants

Grant-Making Facilities (GMFs) are complementary to IBRD’s work. In FY22, IBRD deployed $17 million under this program, compared with $18 million in FY21. These amounts are reflected in contributions to special programs on IBRD’s Statement of Income, after IDA’s share is determined in accordance with the cost sharing ratio.

Externally-Funded Activities

Mobilization of external funds from third-party partners includes trust funds. Additional external funds include reimbursable funds and revenues from fee-based services to member countries, which are related to RAS, EFOs, and other financial products and services, including RAMP.

Trust Funds

Trust Funds provide development solutions that serve member recipients and donors. Trust funded partnerships often serve as a platform for IBRD and the partners to access WBG’s diverse technical and financial resources, and achieve development goals whose complexity, scale, and scope exceed any individual partner’s capabilities. IBRD’s roles and responsibilities in managing trust funds depend on the type of fund, outlined as follows:

 

 

IBRD-Executed Trust Funds (BETFs): IBRD, alone or jointly with one or more of its affiliated organizations, manages the funds and implements the activities financed. These trust funds support IBRD’s work program. IBRD disbursed $494 million in FY22 ($470 million in FY21) of trust fund program funds.

 

 

Recipient-Executed Trust Funds (RETFs): Funds are provided to a third party, normally in the form of project grant financing, and are supervised by IBRD.

 

 

Financial Intermediary Funds (FIFs): IBRD, as trustee, administrator, or treasury manager, offers specific administrative or financial services with a limited operational role. Arrangements include the administration of debt service trust funds, fiscal agency funds and other more specialized limited fund management roles.

IBRD uses a cost recovery framework for trust funds, which aims to recover the costs of performing agreed roles in administering trust funds, and is guided by principles of transparency, fairness, simplification, standardization, predictability and consistent treatment across all trust fund donors.

Management continues to implement measures to improve planning, support sustainability and enhance alignment of External Funds with mission priorities through greater use of umbrella trust fund programs, increased cost recovery, and new budgetary measures to manage External Funds usage.

During FY22, IBRD’s share of revenue and fees from trust fund administration was $50 million ($44 million in FY21) (see Notes to Financial Statements, Note I: Management of External Funds and Other Services).

Reimbursable Advisory Services (RAS)

While most of IBRD’s advisory and analytical work is financed by its own budget or donor contributions (e.g., trust funds), clients may also pay for services. IBRD offers technical assistance and other advisory services to its member countries, in connection with, and independent of, lending operations. Available services include, for example, assigning qualified professionals to survey developmental opportunities in member countries; analyzing member countries fiscal, economic, and developmental environments; helping members devise coordinated development programs; and improving their asset and liability management techniques. In FY22, IBRD earned revenue of $47 million ($53 million in FY21) from RAS.

Externally Financed Outputs (EFOs)

IBRD offers donors the ability to contribute to specific projects and programs. EFO contributions are recorded as restricted revenue when received because they are for contractually specified purposes. In FY22, IBRD had $4 million of restricted revenue, compared with $18 million in FY21, which are included in Net non-interest expenses – GAAP basis in Table 5.

Restrictions are released once the funds are used for the purposes specified by donors. In FY 22, there was a release of $20 million ($24 million in FY21).

Other Financial Products and Services

Managing Financial Risks for Clients

IBRD helps member countries build resilience to shocks by facilitating access to risk management solutions to mitigate the financial effects of currency, interest rate, and commodity price volatility, disasters, and extreme weather events.

Box 5 below lists some financial solutions and disaster risk financing instruments IBRD offers:

Box 5: Financing Instruments

   Regional Pooling Facilities

IBRD also intermediates the following risk management transactions for clients:

 

   

Affiliated Organization: To assist IDA with its asset/liability management, IBRD executes currency forward contracts on its behalf.

 

   

Unaffiliated Organization: To assist the International Finance Facility for Immunization (IFFIm) with its asset/liability management strategy, IBRD executes currency and interest rate swaps on its behalf. In addition, IBRD, as Treasury Manager, is a counterparty to IFFIm and enters into offsetting swaps with market counterparties. During FY22, IBRD executed currency swaps with notional amounts of $250 million under this agreement.

(See Risk Management, Section IX, for a detailed discussion of IBRD’s risk mitigation of these derivative transactions).

Asset Management

The Reserves Advisory and Management Partnership (RAMP) provides services that build clients’ capacity to support the sound management of their official sector assets. Clients include central banks, sovereign wealth funds, national pension funds, and supranational organizations. RAMP helps clients to upgrade their asset management capabilities, including portfolio and risk management, operational infrastructure, and human

resources capacity. Under most of these arrangements, IBRD is responsible for managing a portion of the institution’s assets and, in return, receives a fee based on the average value of the portfolio managed (see Table 18). The fees earned are used to provide training and capacity-building services. In addition to RAMP, IBRD invests and manages investments on behalf of IDA, MIGA, and trust funds; those investments are not included in IBRD’s assets.

As noted in the discussion of Trust Fund Activities above, IBRD, alone or jointly with one or more of its affiliated organizations, administers on donors’ behalf funds restricted for specific uses. Such administration is governed by agreements with donors, who include members, their agencies and other entities. These funds are held in trust and are not included on IBRD’s Balance Sheet, except for $566 million of undisbursed third-party contributions made to IBRD-executed trust funds, which are recognized on the Balance Sheet as an asset and a liability. The cash and investment assets held in trust by IBRD as administrator and trustee totaled $33.7 billion in FY22, of which $108 million ($93 million in FY21) relates to IBRD contributions to these trust funds (Table 19).

Other Financing Solutions

From time to time, IBRD uses its debt issuance platform for other financing support for clients and other development organizations with complementary objectives. For example, during FY22, IBRD issued a five-year $150 million Wildlife Conservation bond (WCB) which contains features aimed to protect and increase black rhino populations in protected areas in South Africa. The pay-for-success financial structure enables private sector investment in global public goods such as biodiversity conservation.

Section VI: Investment Activities

IBRD’s investment portfolio consists mainly of the liquid asset portfolio. As of June 30, 2022, the net investment portfolio totaled $82.1 billion with $78.8 billion representing the liquid asset portfolio. This compares with $85.8 billion a year earlier, of which $82.8 billion represented the liquid asset portfolio (see Note C: Investments in the Notes to the Financial Statements). The decreased level of liquidity reflects the lower debt service requirements and higher loan disbursements during the year.

Liquid Asset Portfolio

Funds raised through IBRD’s borrowing activities that have not yet been deployed for lending are held in the liquid asset portfolio to provide liquidity for IBRD’s operations. The portfolio is managed with the goal of ensuring sufficient cash flows to meet all IBRD’s financial commitments. While it seeks a reasonable return on this portfolio, IBRD restricts its liquid assets to high-quality investments, consistent with its investment objective of prioritizing principal protection over yield. Liquid assets are managed conservatively and are primarily held against any disruptions in IBRD’s access to capital markets.

IBRD’s liquid assets are held mainly in highly rated, fixed-income instruments (see Box 8: Eligibility Criteria for IBRD’s Investments) and include the following:

 

   

Government and agency obligations

 

   

Time deposits and other unconditional obligations of banks and financial institutions

 

   

Asset-backed securities (including agency mortgage-backed securities)

 

   

Currency, interest rate and other risk management derivatives

 

   

Exchange-traded options and futures

Figure 14: Liquid Asset Portfolio by Asset Class

In millions of U.S. dollars, except for ratios

 

LOGO

IBRD keeps liquidity volumes above a Prudential Minimum which is defined as 80% of the twelve-month Target Liquidity Level. The twelve- month Target Liquidity Level is calculated before the end of each fiscal year based on Management’s estimates of projected net loan disbursements approved at the time of projection and twelve months of debt-service for the upcoming fiscal year. This twelve-month estimate becomes the target for the upcoming fiscal year and the Prudential Minimum is 80% of this target (see Section IX for details of how IBRD manages liquidity risk).

The liquid asset portfolio is composed largely of assets denominated in, or swapped into, U.S. dollars, with net exposure to short-term interest rates after derivatives. The portfolio has an average duration of less than three months, and the debt funding these liquid assets has a similar currency and duration profile. This is a direct result of IBRD’s exchange-rate and interest-rate-risk-management policies (see Section IX), combined with appropriate investment guidelines (see Box 8).

 

36


Table of Contents

The maturity profile of IBRD’s liquid asset portfolio reflects a high degree of liquidity. As of June 30, 2022, $69.6 billion (approximately 88% of total volume) was due to mature within six months, of which $29.3 billion was expected to mature within one month.

The liquid asset portfolio is held in three sub-portfolios: Stable, Operational, and Discretionary, each may have different risk profiles and performance guidelines (see Table 20).

 

   

Stable portfolio is mainly an investment portfolio holding all or a portion of the Prudential Minimum level of liquidity, set at the start of each fiscal year.

 

   

Operational portfolio is used to meet IBRD’s day-to-day cash flow requirements.

 

   

Discretionary portfolio gives IBRD the flexibility to execute its borrowing program and can be used to tap attractive market opportunities. Additional portions of the Prudential Minimum may also be held in this portfolio.

During FY22, IBRD’s total return of 0.32% on the liquid asset portfolio was relatively stable, compared to last year.

In addition to monitoring gross investment returns relative to their benchmarks, IBRD also monitors overall earnings from the investment portfolio, net of funding costs. In FY22, IBRD had $3 million of losses, net of funding costs on the investment portfolio as discussed in Section III.

Section VII: Borrowing Activities

IBRD has been issuing bonds in the international capital markets since 1947. The proceeds of these bonds support IBRD’s lending operations which are aimed at promoting sustainable development for IBRD’s borrowing member countries.

Borrowing Portfolio

IBRD borrows at attractive rates underpinned by its strong financial profile and shareholder support that together are the basis for its triple-A credit rating. As a result of its financial strength and triple-A credit rating, IBRD is recognized as a premier borrower and its bonds and notes are viewed as a high credit quality investment in the global capital markets.

IBRD uses the proceeds to finance development activities in creditworthy middle-income and low-income countries eligible to borrow from IBRD at market-based rates. Funding raised in any given year is used for IBRD’s operations, including loan disbursements, replacement of maturing debt, and prefunding for lending activities. IBRD determines its funding requirements based on a three-year rolling horizon and funds about one-third of the projected amount in the current fiscal year.

As discussed in Section II, IBRD uses currency and interest rate derivatives in connection with its borrowings for asset and liability management purposes. New medium- and long-term funding is swapped into variable-rate U.S. dollar instruments, with conversion to other currencies carried out subsequently. This is in accordance with loan funding requirements, so that IBRD can minimize interest rate and currency risk. IBRD also uses derivatives to manage the re-pricing risks between loans and borrowings. Further discussion on how IBRD manages this risk is included in the Risk Management Section, Section IX.

IBRD issues short-term debt (maturing in one year or less), and medium- and long-term debt (with a maturity greater than one year). From time to time, IBRD exercises the call option in its callable bond issues; it may also repurchase its debt to meet other operational or strategic needs such as providing liquidity to its investors (Table 24). In FY22, IBRD raised a total of $40.8 billion of medium- and long-term debt (Table 24).

As of June 30, 2022, the borrowing portfolio totaled $256.9 billion, $3.2 billion higher than June 30, 2021 (see Note E: Borrowings in the Notes to the Financial Statements). The increase was primarily due to new net short-term debt issuances during the year (Table 23).

Denotes percentage less than 0.5%.

As of June 30, 2022, IBRD’s total borrowing portfolio, after the effects of derivatives, carried variable rates, with a weighted average cost of 1.0% (0.1% as of June 30, 2021). The increase in the weighted average cost from the prior year reflects the increase in the short-term market interest rates during the year. The increase in short-term

Table of Contents

market interest rates also resulted in an increase in IBRD’s weighted average loan rates, which are also based on IBRD’s funding cost. IBRD’s lending spread was therefore not impacted by the increase in short-term interest rates (Figure 3).

Short-Term Borrowings

Table 23 summarizes IBRD’s short-term borrowings, which mainly include discount notes, securities lent or sold under securities lending and repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings.

Discount Notes

IBRD’s short-term borrowings consist mainly of discount notes issued in U.S. dollars. These borrowings have a weighted average maturity of approximately 136 days. As of June 30, 2022, the outstanding balance of discount notes was $15.0 billion, $5.0 billion higher compared with the previous year.

Securities Lent or Sold under Repurchase Agreements

These short-term borrowings are secured mainly by highly-rated collateral in the form of securities, including government-issued debt, and have an average maturity of less than 30 days.

Other Short-Term Borrowings

Other short-term borrowings have maturities of one year or less. The outstanding balance of $199 million as of June 30, 2022, remains stable compared to last year ($199 million in FY21).

Medium- and Long-Term Borrowings

In FY22, medium- and long-term debt raised directly by IBRD in the capital markets amounted to $40.8 billion with an average maturity to first call of 7.6 years (Table 24). The decrease in medium-and-long-term debt issuances in FY22 is primarily due to lower debt servicing and refinancing requirements. IBRD called and repurchased a lower volume of debt in FY22, compared with FY21.

Section VIII: Capital Activities

Capital Structure

Principal Shareholders and Voting Power

As of June 30, 2022, IBRD had 189 member countries, with the top six accounting for 41% of the total voting power (Figure 17). The percentage of votes held by members rated AA and above by at least two major rating agencies was 37% (Figure 18).

The United States is IBRD’s largest shareholder, with 16% of total voting power. Accordingly, it also has the largest share of IBRD’s uncalled capital, $47,785 million, or 17% of total uncalled capital.

Subscribed Capital

Total subscribed capital is comprised of paid-in capital and uncalled subscribed capital. See Statement of Subscriptions to Capital Stock and Voting Power in IBRD’s Financial Statements for balances by country.

Uncalled Subscribed Capital

As of June 30, 2022, the total uncalled portion of subscriptions was $286,636 million. The amount may be called only when required to meet IBRD’s obligations for funds borrowed or loans guaranteed and is, thus, not available for use by IBRD in making loans. Of this amount, $40,928 million was restricted pursuant to resolutions of the Governors (though such conditions are not required by IBRD’s Articles). While these resolutions are not legally binding on future Governors, they do record an understanding among members that this amount will not be called for use by IBRD in its lending activities or for administrative purposes.

No call has ever been made on IBRD’s capital. Any such calls are required to be uniform, but the obligations of IBRD’s members to make payment on such calls are independent of one another. If the amount received on a call is insufficient to meet the obligations of IBRD for which the call is made, IBRD has the right to make further

calls until the amounts received are sufficient to meet such obligations. On any such call or calls, however, no member is required to pay more than the unpaid balance of its capital subscription.

Under the Bretton Woods Agreements Act and other U.S. legislation, the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury is permitted to pay approximately $7,663 million of the uncalled portion of the subscription of the United States, if called for use by IBRD, without need for further congressional action.

The balance of the uncalled portion of the U.S. subscription, $40,122 million, has been authorized but not appropriated by the U.S. Congress. Further action by the U.S. Congress is required to enable the Secretary of the Treasury to pay any portion of this balance. The General Counsel of the U.S. Treasury has rendered an opinion that the entire uncalled portion of the U.S. subscription is an obligation backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S., notwithstanding those congressional appropriations have not been obtained with respect to certain portions of the subscription.

Capital Increases

In October 2018, the Governors approved a new GCI and SCI as part of a capital package endorsed by the Governors in April 2018 that includes institutional and financial reforms designed to ensure long-term financial sustainability. The capital increases will result in additional subscribed capital of up to $60.1 billion, with $7.5 billion of paid-in capital and $52.6 billion of callable capital.

Paid-In Capital

Paid-in capital has two components:

 

 

The U.S. dollar portion, which is freely available for use by IBRD.

 

 

National Currency Paid-In Capital (NCPIC) portion, usage of which is subject to certain restrictions under IBRD’s Articles and is subject to Maintenance-Of-Value (MOV) requirements. For additional details see the Notes to the Financial Statements, Note A: Summary of Significant Accounting and Related Policies.

Usable Paid-in Capital

Usable paid-in capital represents the portion of paid-in capital that is available to support IBRD’s risk bearing capacity and includes all U.S. dollar paid-in capital, as well as NCPIC for which use restrictions have been lifted (referred to as released NCPIC). The adjustments made to paid-in capital to arrive at usable paid-in capital are provided in Table 27.

The $769 million increase in usable paid-in capital between FY22 and FY21 was primarily due to the receipt of $998 million for GCI and $257 million for SCI during FY22, partially offset by the NCPIC adjustment.

Usable Equity

Usable equity represents the amount of equity that is available to support IBRD’s lending operations. Usable equity is central to the three frameworks IBRD uses to manage its capital adequacy, credit risk, and equity earnings. These frameworks, described in Section IX, are:

 

 

Strategic Capital Adequacy Framework

 

 

Credit Risk and Loan Loss Provisioning Framework

 

 

Other ALM Framework

Usable equity consists of usable paid-in capital, and elements of retained earnings and reserves (see Table 28). The components of retained earnings and reserves included in usable equity are as follows:

Special Reserve: Amount set aside pursuant to IBRD’s Articles, held in liquid form and to be used only for meeting IBRD’s liabilities on its borrowings and guarantees;

General Reserve: Generally consists of earnings from prior fiscal years which the Board has approved for retention in IBRD’s equity. On August 4, 2022, the Board approved the transfer of $589 million to the General Reserve from FY22 net income;

Cumulative Translation Adjustments: Comprise translation adjustments that arise upon revaluing currency balances to U.S. dollars for reporting purposes. IBRD’s functional currencies are the U.S. dollar and euro and changes in cumulative translation adjustments only relate to translation adjustments on euro-denominated balances. Translation adjustments associated with non-functional currencies are reflected in other adjustments in Table 28. Usable equity excludes cumulative translation adjustments associated with unrealized mark-to-market gains/losses on non-trading portfolios;

Other Adjustments: These adjustments relate to the income earned on PEBP assets before FY11, and currency translation adjustments on non-functional currencies. These also reflect the measure of the under-funded status of the pension plans, if any, which is based on the funding methodology used by the Pension Finance Committee to determine sustainable funding levels for the pension plans.

The increase in usable equity in FY22 primarily reflects the increase in reserve retention out of the FY22 allocable income and the increase in usable paid-in capital.

Section IX: Risk Management

Risk Governance

IBRD’s risk management processes and practices evolve to reflect changes in activities in response to market, credit, product, operational, and other developments. The Board, particularly Audit Committee (AC) members, periodically review trends in IBRD’s risk profiles and performance, and any major developments in risk management policies and controls.

Management believes that effective risk management is critical for its overall operations. Accordingly, the risk management governance structure is designed to manage the principal risks IBRD assumes in its activities, and supports Management in its oversight function, particularly in coordinating different aspects of risk management and in connection with risks that are common across functional areas.

IBRD’s financial and operational risk governance structure is built on the “Three Lines Model” (Figure 19) where:

 

i.

Business units are responsible for directly managing risks in their respective functional areas;

ii.

The Vice President and WBG Chief Risk Officer (CRO) provides direction, challenge, and oversight over financial and operational risk activities; and

iii.

Internal Audit provides independent oversight.

IBRD’s risk management process comprises risk identification, assessment, response and risk monitoring and reporting. IBRD has policies and procedures under which risk owners and corporate functions are responsible for identifying, assessing, responding to, monitoring and reporting risks.

Figure 19: Financial and Operational Risk Management Structure

Risk Oversight and Coverage

Financial and Operational Risk Management

The CRO oversees both financial and operational risks. These risks include (i) country credit risks in the core sovereign-lending business, (ii) market and counterparty risks, including liquidity risk, and (iii) operational risks relating to people, processes and systems. In addition, the CRO works closely with IFC, MIGA, and IDA’s Management, to review, measure, aggregate, and report on risks, and share best practices across the WBG. The CRO also helps enhance cooperation between the entities and facilitates knowledge sharing in the risk management function.

 

45


Table of Contents

The following three departments report directly to the CRO:

Credit Risk Department

 

   

Identifies, measures, monitors, and manages country credit risk faced by IBRD. By agreement with the Board, the individual country credit risk ratings are not shared with the Board and are not made public.

 

   

Assesses loan portfolio risk, determines the adequacy of provisions for losses on loans and other exposures, and monitors borrowers that are vulnerable to crises in the near term. These reviews are taken into account in determining the overall country programs and lending operations, and they are included in the assessment of IBRD’s capital adequacy.

 

   

Reviews proposed new financial products for any implications for country credit risk.

Market and Counterparty Risk Department

 

   

Responsible for market, liquidity, and counterparty credit risk oversight, assessment, and reporting. It does these in coordination with IBRD’s financial managers who are responsible for the day-to-day execution of trades for the liquid asset and derivative portfolios, within applicable policy and guideline limits.

 

   

Ensures effective oversight, including: (i) maintaining sound credit assessments, (ii) addressing transaction and product risk issues, (iii) providing an independent review function, (iv) monitoring market and counterparty risk in the investment, borrowing and client operation portfolios, and (v) implementing the model risk governance framework. It also provides reports to the Audit Committee and the Board on the extent and nature of risks, risk management, and oversight.

Operational Risk Department

 

   

Provides direction and oversight for operational risk activities by business function.

 

   

Key operational risk management responsibilities include: (i) administering the Operational Risk Committee (ORC) for IBRD, (ii) implementing the operational risk management framework which is aligned with Basel principles and provides direction to business unit partners to ensure consistent application, (iii) assisting and guiding business units in identifying and prioritizing significant operational risks and enabling monitoring and reporting of risks through suitable metrics (or risk indicators), (iv) helping identify emerging risks and trends through monitoring of internal and external risk events, (v) supporting risk response and mitigating actions, and prepares a corporate Operational Risk Report for review and discussion by the ORC.

 

   

Responsible for business continuity management, enterprise risk management functions and corporate insurance.

The risk of IBRD’s operations not meeting their development outcomes (development outcome risk) in IBRD’s lending activities is monitored at the corporate level by Operations Policy and Country Services (OPCS). Where fraud and corruption risks may impact IBRD-financed projects, OPCS, the regions and practice groups, and the Integrity Vice Presidency jointly address such issues.

LOGO

Financial Risk Committees:

The Finance and Risk Committee (FRC), a Vice President level committee, provides a high-level governance structure for decisions that may have financial risks. The FRC was created under the authority of the Managing Director and WBG Chief Financial Officer (MDCFO) to approve, clear, or discuss: (a) risk policy and procedure documents related to financial integrity, income sustainability and balance sheet strength, and (b) issues new business initiatives with policy implications related to IBRD’s financial risks, including country credit, market, counterparty, liquidity and model risks; and operational risks related to the finance business functions. The FRC helps to integrate individual components of finance and risk management activities by building on mechanisms and processes already in place and provides a forum for discussing and communicating significant risk related issues. The FRC meets regularly to discuss new products and services, and financial risk management of IBRD.

New Business Committee (NBC) is a standing subcommittee of the FRC. The NBC provides advice, guidance and recommendations to the FRC, by performing due diligence over new financial products or services to ensure that Management has a full understanding of the rationale, costs, risks and rewards of the product or service being considered.

Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO), a Vice President-level committee chaired by the MDCFO, provides a high-level forum to ensure prudent balance sheet management of IBRD by: a) monitoring its financial positions and Asset-Liability Management (ALM) activities for compliance with its respective guidelines, policies and procedures, including borrowing and investment activities; b) identifying and providing recommendations on emerging ALM issues for IBRD, as well as those related to capital, balance-sheet planning, and financial sustainability and c) serving as reviewing and recommending body for ongoing decisions as part of implementing the ALM policies and procedures of IBRD, including those that impact lending rates and net income.

Operational Risk Committees:

The Enterprise Risk Committee (ERC) is a corporate committee that has oversight over operational and non-financial risks across IBRD. Chaired by the Managing Director and Chief Administrative Officer (MDCAO), it consists of a Vice President level committee to review and discuss enterprise risk matters. Specifically, the Committee has a governance role over risk matters relating to corporate security, business continuity and IT security.

Operational Risk Committee (ORC) is the main governance committee for operational risk and provides a mechanism for an integrated review and response across IBRD units on operational risks associated with people, processes, and systems, including business continuity, and recognizing that business units remain responsible for managing operational risks. The Committee’s key responsibilities include monitoring significant operational risk

matters and events on a quarterly basis to ensure that appropriate risk-response measures are taken and reviewing and concluding on IBRD’s overall operational risk profile. The ORC is chaired by the CRO and escalates significant risks/decisions to the FRC and ERC.

Management of IBRD’s Risks

IBRD assumes financial risks in order to achieve its development and strategic objectives. IBRD’s financial risk management framework is designed to enable and support the institution in achieving its goals in a financially sustainable manner. IBRD manages credit, market and operational risks for its financial activities, which include lending, borrowing and investing (Box 6). The primary financial risk to IBRD is the country credit risk inherent in its loan portfolio. IBRD is also exposed to risks in its liquid asset and derivative portfolios, where the major risks are interest rate, exchange rate, commercial counterparty, and liquidity risks. IBRD’s operational risk management framework is based on a structured and uniform approach to identify, assess and monitor key operational risks across business units.

In an effort to maximize IBRD’s capacity to lend to member countries for development purposes, IBRD limits its exposure to market and counterparty credit risks. In addition, to ensure that the financial risks associated with its loans and other exposures do not exceed its risk-bearing capacity, IBRD uses a strategic capital adequacy framework as a key medium-term capital planning tool.

Geopolitical Events and COVID-19 Pandemic

Ukraine

The war in Ukraine that began in February 2022 has negatively impacted regional and global financial markets and economic conditions. It has also created significant needs for humanitarian and other critical support. From the outbreak of the conflict, through June 30, 2022, IBRD committed $1,073 million and disbursed $1,428 million (including commitments made prior to the start of the war) to help the government of Ukraine provide critical services.

As of June 30, 2022, IBRD’s loans outstanding to Ukraine and the Russian Federation were $7.8 billion and $0.1 billion, respectively (3.4% and 0.1% of the total loans outstanding, respectively). Of the total loans outstanding to Ukraine, $1.1 billion are guaranteed by third parties. In addition, IBRD issued $685 million of guarantees to Ukraine that were outstanding as of June 30, 2022.

COVID-19

As a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, IBRD continues to respond to client needs and operate its core business functions effectively by utilizing technology for remote work, where needed. IBRD will continue to prioritize the health and safety of its staff through mitigation measures, including vaccination, masking, and testing.

Table of Contents

As of June 30, 2022, despite the broad impact of geopolitical events and the COVID-19 pandemic on macroeconomic conditions, IBRD had sufficient resources to meet its liquidity requirements and continues to have access to capital market resources. The liquid asset portfolio was 138% of the Target Liquidity Level.

Management remains vigilant in assessing funding needs in the medium and longer-term to manage the effect of possible severe market movements.

IBRD’s capital adequacy, as indicated by Equity-to-Loans ratio, remains stable (Figure 21 and Table 29) and above the minimum level.

As of the reporting date, country credit risk and counterparty credit risk remain in line with the existing governance framework and established credit limits. The loan loss provisions include IBRD’s current assessment of country credit risk. The fair values of related financial instruments reflect counterparty credit risk in IBRD’s portfolios. Developments in the market continue to be closely monitored and managed.

Capital Adequacy

IBRD holds capital to cover the credit, market and operational risks inherent in its operating activities and financial assets. Country credit risk is the most substantive risk covered by IBRD’s equity.

IBRD’s capital adequacy is the degree to which its equity is sufficient to withstand unexpected shocks. IBRD’s Board monitors IBRD’s capital adequacy within a strategic capital adequacy framework and uses the equity-to-loans ratio as a key indicator of capital adequacy. The framework seeks to ensure that IBRD’s equity is aligned with the financial risk associated with its loan portfolio as well as other exposures over a medium-term capital-planning horizon. Under the currency management policy, to minimize exchange rate risk, IBRD matches its borrowing obligations in any one currency (after derivatives) with assets in the same currency. In addition, IBRD periodically undertakes currency conversions to align the currency composition of its equity with that of its outstanding loans, across major currencies.

c.

IBRD’s equity-to-loans ratio decreased to 22.0% as of June 30, 2022, compared with 22.6% as of June 30, 2021, above the 20% minimum threshold level (Table 29). The decline was due to the increase of approximately $14.7 billion in total exposure, partially offset by the receipt of capital subscription payments of $1.3 billion and the retention of $0.6 billion in the General Reserve out of FY22 allocable income.

Credit Risk

IBRD faces two types of credit risk: country credit risk and counterparty credit risk. Country credit risk is the risk of loss due to a country not meeting its contractual obligations, and counterparty credit risk is the risk of loss attributable to a counterparty not honoring its contractual obligations. IBRD is exposed to commercial as well as non-commercial counterparty credit risk.

Country Credit Risk

IBRD’s mandate is to take only sovereign credit risk in its lending activities. Within country credit risk, three distinct types of risks can be identified: idiosyncratic risk, correlation risk, and concentration risk. Idiosyncratic risk is the risk of an individual borrowing country’s exposure falling into nonaccrual status for country-specific reasons (such as policy slippage or political instability). Correlation risk is the risk that exposure to two or more borrowing countries will fall into nonaccrual in response to common global or regional economic, political, or financial developments. Concentration risk is the risk resulting from having a large portion of exposure outstanding which, if the exposure fell into nonaccrual, would result in IBRD’s financial health being excessively impaired. Concentration risk needs to be evaluated both on a stand-alone basis (exposure of one borrowing

 

50


Table of Contents

country) and when taking into account correlation when more than one borrowing country is affected by a common event, such that when combined, IBRD’s exposure to a common risk is elevated.

To estimate idiosyncratic risk and stand-alone concentration risk, the Credit Risk Department looks at IBRD’s exposure to each borrowing country and each borrowing country’s expected default to IBRD as captured in its credit rating. Credit ratings and default probabilities reflect country economic, financial and political circumstances, and also consider environmental, social and governance (ESG) risk factors. For correlation risk, the Credit Risk Department models the potential common factors that could impact borrowing countries simultaneously. The existence of correlation increases the likelihood of large nonaccrual events, as most of these nonaccrual events involve the joint default of two or more obligors in the portfolio.

IBRD manages country credit risk by using individual country exposure limits and produces credit risk ratings for all its borrowing countries. In addition, IBRD conducts stress tests of the effects of changes in market variables and of potential geopolitical events on its portfolio to complement its capital adequacy framework.

Portfolio Concentration Risk

Portfolio concentration risk, which arises when a small group of borrowers, accounts for a large share of loans outstanding, is a key concern for IBRD. It is carefully managed for each borrowing country, in part, through an exposure limit for the aggregate balance of loans outstanding, the present value of guarantees, and the undisbursed portion of Deferred Drawdown Options (DDOs) that have become effective, among other potential exposures. Under current guidelines, IBRD’s exposure to a single borrowing country is restricted to the lower of an Equitable Access Limit (EAL) or the Single Borrower Limit (SBL).

Equitable Access Limit

The EAL is equal to 10% of IBRD’s Statutory Lending Limit (SLL). Under IBRD’s Articles, as applied, total loans outstanding, including participations in loans and callable guarantees, may not exceed the sum of unimpaired subscribed capital, reserves and surplus, referred to as the SLL. The SLL seeks to ensure that sufficient resources are available to meet IBRD’s obligations to bondholders in the highly unlikely event of substantial and historically unprecedented losses on IBRD’s loans. As of June 30, 2022, the SLL totaled $339.0 billion, of which the outstanding loans and callable guarantees totaled $235.7 billion, or 69.5% of the SLL. The EAL was $34.0 billion, as of June 30, 2022.

Single Borrower Limit

The SBL amount is established, in part, by assessing its impact on overall portfolio risk relative to equity. The SBL caps the maximum exposure to IBRD’s most creditworthy and largest borrowing countries in terms of population and economic size. The SBL framework reflects a dual-SBL system, with the SBL for countries above the Graduation Discussion Income (GDI) threshold set lower than the SBL for countries below GDI. GDI is the level of GNI per capita of a member country above which graduation from IBRD starts being discussed. The GDI threshold was $7,155 as of July 1, 2021. Under the dual-SBL system, the SBL for FY22 was $24.9 billion for highly creditworthy countries below the GDI and $21.2 billion for highly creditworthy countries above the GDI. The SBL framework also contains a 50-basis point surcharge (SBL surcharge) payable on the incremental exposure in excess of the SBL surcharge threshold (defined as $2.5 billion below the SBL for the respective GDI group). In the event that a borrowing country eligible for one of the limits set under the SBL framework is downgraded to the high-risk category, management may determine that the borrowing country continue to be eligible for borrowing at the currently applicable limit, but the borrowing country would not be eligible for any future increases in the SBL approved by the Board. During FY22, there were two countries below-GDI and two countries above-GDI, which have their exposure limits set at the applicable SBLs. For all other countries, the individual country exposure limits were set below the relevant SBL. In the context of IBRD’s overall response to the impact of the COVID 19 crisis, on June 17, 2021, the Board approved temporary relief from the SBL surcharge by excluding all financings approved between May 20, 2021 and the end of FY22 for

 

51


Table of Contents

purposes of calculating whether a country’s exposure exceeds the SBL surcharge threshold. Operations excluded from the SBL surcharge calculation will continue to count towards SBL compliance.

As of June 30, 2022, the ten countries with the highest exposures accounted for about 61% of IBRD’s total exposure (Figure 22: Country Exposures as of June 30, 2022). IBRD’s largest exposure to a single borrowing country was $18.7 billion on June 30, 2022. Monitoring these exposures relative to the limits, however, requires consideration of the repayment profiles of existing loans, as well as disbursement profiles and projected new loans and guarantees.

Sustainable Annual Lending Limit (SALL)

The Financial Sustainability Framework (FSF) requires IBRD to align its annual lending levels to its long-term sustainable capacity, while retaining flexibility to respond to crises by maintaining a crisis buffer.

The SALL is the maximum annual commitment level sustainable, in real terms, for 10 years in line with IBRD’s capital adequacy framework and the Statutory Lending Limit set out in IBRD’s Articles, as determined by management. Under the FSF, the Board annually approves a crisis buffer. The crisis buffer-adjusted sustainable annual lending limit (SALL-Adj) serves as the upper bound for regular lending in the next year. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022 the SALL-Adj was $28.0 billion. On June 28, 2022, the Board approved a crisis buffer of $5.0 billion, resulting in a SALL-Adj of $27.0 billion for FY23. Based on the final lending outcome for FY22, resulting in a carryover of $4.5 billion from the FY22 crisis buffer, the applicable FY23 lending ceiling is $36.5 billion.

Management uses risk models to estimate the size of a potential nonaccrual shock that IBRD could face over the next three years at a given confidence level. The model-estimated nonaccrual shock is a single measure of the credit quality of the portfolio that combines the following:

 

 

IBRD’s country-credit-risk ratings and their associated expected risk of default;

 

 

Covariance risks;

 

 

The loan portfolio’s distribution across risk rating categories; and

 

 

The exposure concentration.

The shock estimated by this risk model is used in IBRD’s capital adequacy testing to determine the impact of potential nonaccrual events on equity and income earning capacity.

Expected Losses, Overdue Payments, and Non-Performing Loans

The loan loss provision is calculated by taking into account IBRD’s total estimated exposure, the Expected Default Frequency (EDF), i.e. probability of default, and the assumed loss in the event of default. Expected losses inherent in the loan portfolio attributable to country credit risk are covered by the accumulated provision for losses on loans and other exposures, while unexpected losses owing to country credit risk are covered by equity (see Notes to the Financial Statements, Note A: Summary of Significant Accounting and Related Policies and Note D: Loans and Other Exposures).

When a borrower fails to make payments due to IBRD on any principal, interest, or other charges, IBRD may suspend disbursements immediately on all loans to that borrower. IBRD’s current practice is to exercise this option using a graduated approach (Box 7). These practices also apply to member countries eligible to borrow from both IBRD and IDA, and whose payments on IDA loans may become overdue. It is IBRD’s practice not to reschedule interest or principal payments on its loans or participate in debt rescheduling agreements with respect to its loans. As of June 30, 2022, there were no principal or interest amounts on loans in accrual status, that were overdue by more than three months.

As of June 30, 2022, 0.2% of IBRD’s loans were in nonaccrual status and all related to Zimbabwe. The exposures to Zimbabwe were $428 million as of June 30, 2022, compared with $432 million as of June 30, 2021. IBRD received a payment of $3 million from Zimbabwe in FY22 (FY21: $1.5 million).

Box 7: Treatment of Overdue Payments

 

Overdue by 30 days  

Where the borrower is the member country, no new loans to the member country, or to any other borrower in the country, will be presented to the Board for approval, nor will any previously approved loan be signed, until payments for all amounts 30 days overdue or longer have been received. Where the borrower is not the member country, no new loans to that borrower will be signed or approved. In either case, the borrower will lose its eligibility for any waiver of interest charges in effect at that time for loans signed before May 16, 2007, and those loans signed between May 16, 2007, and September 27, 2007, if the borrowers elected not to convert the terms of their loans to the pricing terms effective September 27, 2007. For loans with the pricing terms applicable from May 16, 2007, an overdue interest penalty will be charged at a rate of 50 basis points on the overdue principal. In addition, if an overdue amount remains unpaid for a period of 30 days, then the borrower will pay a higher interest rate (LIBOR + fixed spread) plus 50 basis points on the overdue principal amount until the overdue amount is fully paid.

Overdue by 45 days  

In addition to the provisions cited above for payments overdue by 30 days, to avoid proceeding further on the notification process leading to suspension of disbursements, the country as borrower or guarantor and all borrowers in the country must pay not only all payments overdue by 30 days or more, but also all payments due regardless of the number of days since they have fallen due. Where the borrower is not the member country, no new loans to, or guaranteed by, the member country, will be signed or approved. Additionally, all borrowers in the country will lose eligibility for any waivers of interest in effect at the time.

Overdue by 60 days  

In addition to the suspension of approval for new loans and signing of previously approved loans, disbursements on all loans to, or guaranteed by, the member country are suspended until all overdue amounts are paid. This policy applies even when the borrower is not the member country. Under exceptional circumstances, disbursements can be made to a member country upon the Board’s approval.

 

53


Table of Contents
Overdue by more than six months  

All loans made to, or guaranteed by, a member of IBRD are placed in nonaccrual status, unless IBRD determines that the overdue amount will be collected in the immediate future. Unpaid interest and other charges not yet paid on loans outstanding are deducted from the income for the current period. To the extent that these payments are received, they are included in income. At the time of arrears clearance, if collectability risk is considered to be particularly high, the member’s exposures may not automatically emerge from nonaccrual status. In such instances, a decision is made on the restoration of accrual status on a case-by-case basis; in certain cases, this decision may be deferred until after a suitable period of payment performance has passed.

Counterparty Credit Risk

IBRD is exposed to commercial and non-commercial counterparty credit risk.

Commercial Counterparty Credit Risk

Commercial counterparty credit risk is the risk that counterparties fail to meet their payment obligations under the terms of the contract or other financial instruments. Effective management of counterparty credit risk is vital to the success of IBRD’s funding, investment, and asset/liability management activities. The monitoring and management of these risks is continuous as the market environment evolves.

IBRD mitigates the counterparty credit risk from its investment and derivative holdings through the credit approval process, the use of collateral agreements and risk limits, and other monitoring procedures. The credit approval process involves evaluating counterparty and product-specific creditworthiness, assigning internal credit ratings and limits, and determining the risk profile of specific transactions. Credit limits are set and monitored throughout the year. Counterparty exposure is updated daily, considering the current market values of assets held, estimates of potential future movements of exposure for derivative instruments, and related counterparty collateral agreements, where collateral posting requirements are based on thresholds driven by public credit ratings. Collateral held includes cash and highly rated liquid investment securities. Commercial credit risk management includes ESG related assessments in the approval and monitoring of higher exposure counterparties for the liquid asset portfolio and for derivative counterparties. In addition, third-party ESG scores of the liquid asset portfolio and derivative exposures are monitored.

IBRD’s liquid asset investment portfolio consists mostly of sovereign government bonds, debt instruments issued by sovereign government agencies, and bank time deposits. More than half of these investments are with issuers and counterparties rated triple-A and AA (Table 30).

Derivative Instruments

In the normal course of its business, IBRD enters into various derivative instruments to manage foreign exchange and interest rate risks. These derivatives are used mainly to meet the financial needs of IBRD borrowers and to manage the institution’s exposure to fluctuations in interest and exchange rates. These transactions are conducted with other financial institutions and, by their nature, entail commercial counterparty credit risk.

While the volume of derivative activity can be measured by the contracted notional value of derivatives, notional value is not an accurate measure of credit or market risk. IBRD uses the estimated replacement cost of the derivative instrument, or potential future exposure to measure counterparty credit risk with these trading partners.

Under IBRD’s collateral arrangements, IBRD receives collateral when mark-to-market exposure is greater than the ratings based collateral threshold. As of June 30, 2022, IBRD had received collateral of cash and securities totaling $0.6 billion.

IBRD is not required to post collateral under its derivative agreements as long as it maintains a triple-A credit rating. (For the contractual value, notional amounts, related credit risk exposure amounts, and the amount IBRD

would be required to post in the event of a downgrade, see Notes to Financial Statements, Note F: Derivative Instruments).

Investment Securities

The Board-approved General Investment Authorization provides the basic authority for IBRD to invest its liquid assets. Furthermore, all investment activities are conducted in accordance with a more detailed set of Investment Guidelines. The Investment Guidelines are approved by the MDCFO and implemented by the Treasurer. These Investment Guidelines set out detailed trading and operational rules, including which instruments are eligible for investment, and establish risk parameters relative to benchmarks. These include an overall consultative loss limit and duration deviation, specifying concentration limits on counterparties and instrument classes, as well as clear lines of responsibility for risk monitoring and compliance. Credit risk is controlled by applying eligibility criteria (Box 8).

The overall market risk of the investment portfolio is subject to a consultative loss limit to reflect a level of tolerance for the risk of underperforming the benchmark in any fiscal year. IBRD has procedures in place to monitor performance against this limit and potential risks, and it takes appropriate actions if the limit is reached. All investments are subject to additional conditions specified by the Chief Risk Officer, as deemed necessary.

IBRD’s exposure to futures and options and resale agreements is marginal. For futures and options, IBRD generally closes out open positions prior to expiration. Futures are settled on a daily basis. In addition, IBRD monitors the fair value of resale securities received and, if necessary, closes out transactions and enters into new repriced transactions.

Management has broadened its universe of investment assets in an effort to achieve greater diversification in the portfolio and better risk-adjusted investment performance. This exposure is monitored by the Market and Counterparty Risk Department.

Borrowing Member Countries:    Currency and interest rate swap transactions are executed between IBRD and its borrowers under master derivative agreements. As of June 30, 2022, the notional amounts and net fair value exposures under these agreements were $8.5 billion and $0.3 billion, respectively. Expected losses inherent in these exposures due to country credit risk are incorporated in the fair value of these instruments.

 

 

Affiliated Organizations:    Derivative contracts are executed between IBRD and IDA, under an agreement allowing IBRD to intermediate derivative contracts on behalf of IDA. As of June 30, 2022, the notional amount under this agreement was $0.3 billion. As of June 30, 2022, IBRD had exposure of $8 million to IDA. Under its derivative agreement with IBRD, IDA is not required to post collateral as long as it maintains liquidity holdings at pre-determined levels. As of June 30, 2022, IDA was not required to post any collateral with IBRD.

 

 

Non-Affiliated Organizations:    IBRD has a master derivatives agreement with IFFIm, under which several transactions have been executed. As of June 30, 2022, the notional amounts and net fair value exposures under this agreement were $3.2 billion and $4 million, respectively. IBRD has the right to call for collateral above an agreed specified threshold. As of June 30, 2022, IBRD had not exercised this right, but it reserves the right under the existing terms of the agreement. Rather than calling for collateral, IBRD and IFFIm have agreed to manage IBRD’s exposure by applying a risk management buffer to the gearing ratio limit. The gearing ratio limit represents the maximum amount of IFFIm’s net financial obligations less cash and liquid assets, as a percentage of the net present value of its financial assets.

Credit and Debit Valuation Adjustments

Most outstanding derivative positions are transacted over the counter and therefore valued using internally developed valuation models. For commercial and non-commercial counterparties where IBRD has a net exposure (net receivable position), IBRD calculates a Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA) to reflect credit risk. For net derivative positions with commercial and non-commercial counterparties where IBRD is in a net payable position, IBRD calculates a Debit Valuation Adjustment (DVA) to reflect its own credit risk.

The CVA is calculated using the fair value of the derivative contracts, net of collateral received under credit support agreements, and the probability of counterparty default based on the Credit Default Swaps (CDS) spread and, where applicable, proxy CDS spreads. IBRD does not currently hedge this exposure. The DVA calculation

 

57


Table of Contents

is generally consistent with the CVA methodology and incorporates IBRD’s own credit spread as observed through the CDS market. As of June 30, 2022, IBRD recorded a CVA on its Balance Sheet of $2 million, and a DVA of $571 million.

Effect of Changes in Credit Spreads

The sensitivity of IBRD’s portfolios to changes in credit spreads is shown in Table 32, where the amount represents the dollar change in fair value which corresponds to a one basis point parallel upward shift in credit spreads.

 

 

Investments:    IBRD purchases investment-grade securities for its liquid asset portfolio. Credit risk is controlled through appropriate eligibility criteria (see Box 8). The overall risk of the investment portfolio is also constrained by a consultative loss limit. In line with these risk management strategies, the potential effect of default risk on IBRD’s investment portfolio is therefore small. The effect of credit changes on the market value of the investment portfolio is also relatively limited; a one-basis-point change in the credit spreads of the investment assets would have an estimated impact of $1 million on the market value of the portfolio.

 

 

Borrowings:    IBRD had $564 million of unrealized mark-to-market gains due to the change in IBRD’s own credit relative to LIBOR in FY22. As shown in Table 32, the dollar value change corresponding to a one basis-point upward parallel shift in credit spreads (IBRD’s own credit relative to LIBOR) is $92 million of unrealized mark-to-market gains.

 

 

Loans.    IBRD’s fair value model represents a hypothetical exit price of the loan portfolio. It incorporates CDS spreads as an indicator of the credit risk for each borrower, after adjusting recovery levels to incorporate IBRD’s institutional experience and assumptions. These assumptions are reviewed annually. The dollar value change corresponding to a one-basis-point parallel rise in CDS rates on the loan portfolio is $2 million of unrealized mark-to-market losses. IBRD does not hedge its sovereign credit exposure, but Management assesses its credit risk through a proprietary loan-loss provisioning model. Loan-loss provision represents the expected losses inherent in its accrual and nonaccrual portfolios. As discussed earlier, IBRD’s country credit risk is managed by using individual country exposure limits and by monitoring its credit-risk-bearing capacity.

 

 

Derivatives.    IBRD uses derivatives to manage exposures to currency and interest rate risks in its investment, loan, other ALM and borrowing portfolios. It is therefore exposed to commercial counterparty credit risk on these instruments. This risk is managed through:

 

  ¡   

Stringent selection of commercial derivative counterparties,

 

  ¡   

Daily marking-to-market of derivative positions, and

 

  ¡   

Use of collateral and collateral thresholds for all commercial counterparties.

Market Risk

IBRD is exposed to changes in interest and exchange rates, and it uses various strategies to minimize its exposure to market risk.

Interest Rate Risk

Under its current interest rate risk management strategy, IBRD seeks to match the interest rate sensitivity of its assets (loan and investment trading portfolios) with those of its liabilities (borrowing portfolio) by using derivatives, such as interest rate swaps. These derivatives effectively convert IBRD’s financial assets and liabilities into variable-rate instruments. After considering the effects of these derivatives, virtually the entire loan and borrowing portfolios are carried at variable interest rates (Figure 24 and Figure 25).

The sensitivity of these portfolios to interest rate movements, after the effect of derivatives, is shown in Table 33 below where the amount represents the dollar change in fair value corresponding to a one basis point parallel upward shift in interest rates as of June 30, 2022.

 

 

Investment Trading Portfolio: After the effects of derivatives, the duration of the investment trading portfolio is less than three months. As a result, the portfolio has a low sensitivity to changes in interest rates, resulting in small fair value adjustments to income.

 

 

Loan and Borrowing Portfolios: In line with IBRD’s financial risk management strategies, the sensitivity of IBRD’s loan and borrowing portfolios to changes in interest rates is relatively small. As noted earlier, IBRD intends to maintain its positions for these portfolios and thus manages these instruments on a cash flow basis. The resulting net unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on these portfolios, associated with the small sensitivity to interest rates, are therefore not expected to be realized.

 

 

Other ALM Portfolio: At the end of FY22, a one basis-point increase in interest rates would result in unrealized mark-to-market losses of $15 million on the other ALM portfolio (unrealized mark-to-market losses of $16 million at the end FY21).

Figure 23 depicts how the use of derivatives affects the overall sensitivity of the borrowing, loan, other ALM and investment portfolios. It indicates the extent to which each portfolio is economically hedged. For example, for the borrowing portfolio, a one basis point increase in interest rates would result in $92 million of unrealized mark-to-market gains on bonds, which would be offset by $87 million of unrealized mark-to-market losses on swaps. Loan sensitivities are illustrative as loans are carried at amortized cost on the Balance Sheet.

Alignment of Assets and Liabilities – IBRD borrows in multiple currency and interest rate bases worldwide and lends the proceeds of those borrowings to eligible member countries. IBRD offers its borrowers the option of converting the currency and interest rate bases on their loans where there is a liquid swap market, thereby enabling them to select loan terms that are best suited to their circumstances. Such options meet borrowers’ preferences and help mitigate their currency and interest rate risk. In the absence of active risk management, IBRD would be exposed to substantial market risk and asset-liability management imbalances. To address such imbalances, IBRD uses derivatives to swap its payment obligations on bonds to a currency and interest rate basis that is aligned with its loan portfolio. Likewise, when a borrower exercises a conversion option on a loan to

 

60


Table of Contents

change its currency or interest rate basis, IBRD uses derivatives to convert its exposure back to a currency and interest rate basis that is aligned with its loan portfolio. Thus, IBRD’s payment obligations on its borrowings are aligned with its loans funded by such borrowings – generally, after the effect of derivatives, IBRD primarily pays U.S. dollar, short-term variable rates on its borrowings, and receives U.S. dollar, short-term variable rates on its loans. Figure 26 below illustrates the use of derivatives in the loan and borrowing portfolios:

Figure 26: Use of Derivatives for Loans and Borrowings

 

 

LOGO

Derivatives are also used to manage market risk in the liquidity portfolio. In line with its development mandate, IBRD maintains a large liquidity balance to ensure that it can make payments on its borrowing obligations and loan disbursements, even in the event of severe market disruptions. Pending disbursement, the liquidity portfolio is invested on a global basis in multiple currencies and interest rates. Derivatives are also used to align the currency and duration of investments with the debt funding the liquidity portfolio. Figure 27 below illustrates the use of derivatives in the liquidity portfolio:

Figure 27: Use of Derivatives for Investments

Other ALM – Given most loans carry variable rates, for the portion of loans that are funded by equity, loan interest revenue, if left unmanaged, would be highly sensitive to fluctuations in short-term interest rates. The equity-to-loans ratio of 22.0% indicates the portion of loans funded by equity. To manage this exposure, Management has put in place a framework with the primary goal of stabilizing this revenue. Under this framework, IBRD uses derivatives to convert the variable rate cash flows on loans funded by equity back to fixed rate cash flows, thereby stabilizing loan interest revenue over time. See Figure 28 below.

Although interest rates have been rising, low and negative interest rates present a challenge for various IBRD portfolios.

Loans to borrowing countries:

Under IBRD’s loan agreements, if an interest rate formula yields a negative rate, the interest rate charged is zero.

Liquid Asset Portfolio:

IBRD’s existing guidelines allow for the investment in a wide variety of credit products in both developed and emerging market economies (see investment eligibility criteria in Box 8). However, even markets with negative rates can provide positive spread returns once the investment is swapped back into a U.S. dollar floating rate basis. In FY22, IBRD’s liquid asset portfolio incurred unrealized mark-to-market losses due to the sharp increase in interest rates. However, excluding these unrealized mark-to-market losses, IBRD was able to generate a positive spread on its liquid asset portfolio.

The interest rate risk on IBRD’s liquid asset portfolio, including the risk that the value of assets in the portfolio will fluctuate in response to changes in market interest rates, is managed within specified duration-mismatch limits. The liquid asset portfolio has spread exposure because IBRD holds instruments other than the short-term bank deposits represented by the portfolios’ London Interbank Bid Rate (LIBID) benchmark. These investments generally yield positive returns over the benchmark but can generate mark-to-market losses if their spreads relative to LIBOR widen.

Fixed Spread Loan Refinancing Risk

Refinancing risk for funding fixed-spread loans relates to the potential impact of any future deterioration in IBRD’s funding spread relative to what was computed in the fixed spread. IBRD does not match the maturity of its funding with that of its fixed spread loans as this would result in significantly higher financing costs for all loans. Instead, IBRD targets a shorter average funding maturity and manages the refinancing risk through two technical components of the fixed spread loans pricing, both of which can be changed at Management’s discretion for new loan offers. (see Table 13):

 

 

Projected funding cost: Management’s best estimate of average funding costs over the life of the loan.

 

 

Risk premium: A charge for the risk that actual funding costs are higher than projected Liquid Asset Portfolio Spread Exposure.

Effective April 1, 2021, IBRD’s offering of loans on fixed spread terms has been suspended.

Other Interest Rate Risks

Interest rate risk also arises from other variables, including differences in timing between the contractual maturities or re-pricing of IBRD’s assets, liabilities, and derivative instruments. On variable-rate assets and liabilities, IBRD is exposed to timing mismatches between the re-set dates on its variable-rate receivables and payables. IBRD monitors these exposures and may execute overlay interest rates swaps to reduce sizable timing mismatches.

Alternative Reference Rate

In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the regulator of LIBOR, announced that it would no longer compel panel banks to submit rates required to calculate LIBOR after December 31, 2021, and therefore, market participants, including IBRD and its borrowers needed to move to alternative reference rates. In March 2021, the FCA confirmed that all the LIBOR settings will either cease to be provided by any administrator or no longer be representative, as follows:

   Remaining settings, including 6-month    June 30, 2023

In consideration of the regulatory guidance and in preparation for the global markets’ transition away from LIBOR, IBRD took the necessary steps to facilitate a smooth and orderly transition of its financial instruments effected by alternative reference rates.

In FY20, the Board endorsed an omnibus amendment process with borrowers for certain existing loan agreements to address inadequate fallback provisions for LIBOR replacement and a notification process, allowing IBRD to maintain and preserve the pre-existing relationship between its funding costs and lending rates and maintain the principles of fairness and equivalence for any replaced reference rate. The majority of IBRD loans were denominated in USD, EUR, GBP and JPY as of December 31, 2021. IBRD adopted the following alternative reference rates: SOFR for USD denominated loans, Euro Interbank Offered Rate (EURIBOR) for EUR denominated loans, Sterling Overnight Index Average (SONIA) for GBP denominated loans, and Tokyo Overnight Average Rate (TONA) for JPY denominated loans. Through these processes, the vast majority of its borrowers’ loans were ready for transition by December 31, 2021. Effective January 1, 2022, IBRD offers new loans with alternative reference rates and ceased to offer LIBOR based loans.

Out of the total loans outstanding of $229,344 million as of June 30, 2022, approximately 62% have transitioned and 10% are still subject to transition to alternative reference rates. The remaining 28% of the total loans outstanding are not required to transition to alternative reference rates. The switch over of existing variable spread and non-USD fixed spread loans to alternative reference rates began in January 2022, at the loan reset dates, which concluded as of June 30, 2022. The remaining USD fixed spread loans will begin transitioning in July 2023, as the loans reset.

Out of the total derivative portfolio notional value as of June 30, 2022, less than 1% have transitioned and 71% are still subject to transition to alternative reference rates. The remaining 29% of the total derivative portfolio notional is not subject to transition to alternative reference rates. For the vast majority of these trades, IBRD either has sufficient provisions in the derivative agreements with its counterparties, has adhered to the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) 2020 IBOR Fallbacks Protocol (IBOR Protocol) or works bilaterally with counterparties, to ensure a smooth transition to alternative reference rates.

As of June 30, 2022, about 98% of IBRD’s borrowing portfolio either carries fixed interest rates or is not subject to transition to alternative reference rates.

IBRD will continue to work with key stakeholders, including internal subject matter experts, senior management, borrowers, industry groups and other market participants, to mitigate potential financial and operational risks to which IBRD is exposed, and to ensure an orderly transition to the alternative reference rates.

Exchange Rate Risk

IBRD holds the majority of its assets and liabilities in U.S. dollars and euro. However, the reported levels of its assets, liabilities, income, and expenses in the financial statements are affected by exchange rate movements in

 

63


Table of Contents

all the currencies in which IBRD transacts, relative to its reporting currency, the U.S. dollar. IBRD’s functional currencies are the U.S. dollar and euro. Currency translation adjustments relating to euro-denominated balances are reflected in other comprehensive income, a component of equity. Currency translation adjustments relating to non-euro denominated balances (non-functional currencies) are reported in the Statement of Income. While IBRD’s equity could be affected by exchange rate movements, IBRD’s risk management policies work to minimize the exchange rate risk in its capital adequacy, by immunizing the equity-to-loans ratio against exchange rate movements.

To minimize exchange rate risk, IBRD matches its borrowing obligations in any one currency (after derivative activities) with assets in the same currency (Figure 29). In addition, IBRD undertakes periodic currency conversions to align the currency composition of its equity with that of its outstanding loans across major currencies. Together, these policies are designed to minimize the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on the equity-to-loans ratio; thereby preserving IBRD’s ability to better absorb unexpected losses from arrears on loan repayments, regardless of exchange movements. As a result, exchange rate movements during the year generally do not have a material impact on the overall equity-to-loans ratio.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk arises in the general funding of IBRD’s activities and in managing its financial position. It includes the risk of IBRD being unable to fund its portfolio of assets at appropriate maturities and rates, and the risk of being unable to liquidate a position in a timely manner at a reasonable price.

Under IBRD’s liquidity management guidelines, aggregate liquid asset holdings are kept at or above a specified Prudential Minimum to safeguard against cash flow interruptions.

The Target Liquidity Level represents twelve-months’ coverage as calculated at the start of every fiscal year. The Prudential Minimum is defined as 80% of the Target Liquidity Level. The maximum guideline of 150% of Target Liquidity Level continues to function as a guideline rather than a hard ceiling (see Table 34).

The FY23 Target Liquidity Level is set at $54 billion, $3 billion lower than the FY22 Target Liquidity Level due to the lower projected debt service for FY23.

Operational Risk

Operational risk is defined as the risk of financial loss or damage to IBRD’s reputation resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems, or from external events.

IBRD recognizes the importance of operational risk management activities, which are embedded in its financial operations. As part of its business activities, IBRD is exposed to a range of operational risks including physical security and staff health and safety, data and cyber security, business continuity, and third-party vendor risks. IBRD’s approach to identifying and managing operational risk includes a dedicated program for these risks and a robust process that includes assessing and prioritizing operational risks, monitoring and reporting relevant key risk indicators, aggregating and analyzing internal and external events, and identifying emerging risks that may affect business units and developing risk response and mitigating actions.

Cybersecurity Risk Management

IBRD’s operations rely on the secure processing, storage and transmission of confidential and other information in computer systems and networks. As is the case for financial institutions generally, cybersecurity risk continues to be significant for IBRD due to the evolving sophistication and complexity of the cyber threat landscape. These risks are unavoidable and IBRD seeks to manage them on a cost-effective basis consistent with its risk appetite.

To protect the security of its computer systems, software, networks and other technology assets, IBRD has developed its cybersecurity risk management program, consisting of cybersecurity policies, procedures, compliance and awareness programs. IBRD deploys a multi-layered approach for cybersecurity risk management to help prevent and detect malicious activity, both from within the organization and from external sources. In managing emerging cyber threats such as malware including ransomware, denial of service and phishing attacks, IBRD strives to adapt its technical and process-level controls and raise the level of user awareness to mitigate the risk.

IBRD periodically assesses the maturity and effectiveness of its cyber defenses through risk mitigation techniques, including but not limited to, targeted testing, internal and external audits, incident response tabletop exercises and industry benchmarking.

Section X: Contractual Obligations

In conducting its business, IBRD takes on contractual obligations that may require future payments. These include borrowings, operating leases, contractual purchases, capital expenditures, and other long-term liabilities. Table 35 shows IBRD’s contractual obligations for the next five years and thereafter; it excludes the following obligations reflected on IBRD’s balance sheet: undisbursed loans, amounts payable for currency and interest rate swaps, amounts payable for investment securities purchased, guarantees, and cash received under agency arrangements.

 

 

Borrowings: IBRD issues debt in the form of securities to private and governmental buyers.

 

 

Operating Leases: IBRD leases real estate and equipment under lease agreements for varying periods. Operating lease expenditures represent future cash payments for real estate-related obligations and equipment, based on contractual amounts.

 

 

Contractual Purchases: IBRD is a party to various obligations to purchase products and services, which are purchase commitments in the ordinary course of business.

 

 

Other Long-Term Liabilities: IBRD provides a variety of benefits to its employees. As some of these benefits are of a long-term nature, IBRD records the associated liability on its balance sheet. The obligations payable represents expected benefit payments as well as contributions to the pension plans. These include future service and pay accruals for current staff and new staff projections for the next 10 years.

Table of Contents

Operating leases, contractual purchases and capital expenditures, and other long-term obligations, include obligations shared with IDA, IFC, and MIGA under cost-sharing and service arrangements. These arrangements reflect the WBG strategy of maximizing synergies, to best leverage resources for development (see Notes to Financial Statements, Note H: Transactions with Affiliated Organizations).

Section XI: Pension and Other Post-Retirement Benefits

Governance

IBRD participates, along with IFC and MIGA, in pension and post-retirement benefit plans. The Staff Retirement Plan (SRP), Retired Staff Benefits Plan (RSBP), and PEBP (collectively called the “Plans”) are defined benefit plans and cover substantially all WBG employees, retirees and their beneficiaries. Costs, assets, and liabilities associated with the Plans are allocated among IBRD, IFC, and MIGA, based on their employees’ respective participation in the Plans. Costs allocated to IBRD are subsequently shared with IDA, based on an agreed cost-sharing ratio (see Notes to Financial Statements, Note J: Pension and Other Post-Retirement Benefits).

The benefits of the Plans at retirement are determined pursuant to the Plan Documents adopted by the Board (Plan Document). IBRD has a contractual obligation to make benefit payments to the Plans’ beneficiaries. The governance mechanism of the Plans, including the funding and investment policies described here, are designed to support this objective.

There are two committees that govern the Plans. From a governance standpoint, both committees are independent of IBRD and the Board.

 

 

The Pension Finance Committee (PFC), which is responsible for the financial management of the Plans and is supported by the Pension Finance Administrator.

 

 

The Pension Benefits Administration Committee (PBAC), which is responsible for the administration of the benefits of the Plans.

Contributions to the SRP and RSBP are irrevocable, with assets held in separate trusts, and the PEBP assets are included in IBRD’s investment portfolio. IBRD acts as trustee for the Plans and the assets are used for the exclusive benefit of the participants and their beneficiaries. The objective of the Plans is to accumulate sufficient assets to meet future pension benefit obligations. As of June 30, 2022, IBRD and IDA’s share of the assets amounted to $29.6 billion (see Table 36). This represents the accumulated contributions paid into the plans net of benefit payments, together with the accumulated value of investment earnings, net of related expenses.

Funding and Investment Policies

The key policies underpinning the financial management of the Plans, including the determination of WBG contributions and the investment of Plan assets, are the funding and investment policies. The objective of these

 

66


Table of Contents

policies is to ensure that the Plans have sufficient assets to meet benefit payments over the long term. The funding policy, as approved by the PFC, establishes the rules that determine the WBG’s contributions. The policy seeks to fund the Plans in a consistent and timely manner, while at the same time avoiding excessive volatility in WBG contributions. The funding policy determines how much the WBG must contribute annually to sustain and ensure the accumulation of sufficient assets over time to meet the expected benefit payments. Under the Plan Document, the PFC determines the WBG contribution based on actuarial valuations. IBRD is required to make the contribution determined by the PFC. In FY22, the WBG’s rate for contributions to the Plans was 19.33% of net salaries.

The Projected Benefit Obligation (PBO) is derived from AA-rated corporate bonds, as required by U.S. GAAP. The selection of this rate as the basis for the discount rate is to establish a liability equivalent to an amount that if invested in high-quality fixed income securities would match the benefit payment stream. While this measure is based on an objective, observable market rate, it does not necessarily reflect the realized or expected returns of the Plan which depend on how the Plans are managed and invested. The PBO for funding purposes is discounted using a 3.5% real discount rate since the funding strategy for the Plans is based on a target of 3.5% real return on investments. This rate constitutes the long-term return objective for the Plan’s assets, referred to as the Long-Term Real Return Objective (LTRRO), which Management has followed since the year ended June 30, 1999 and recently reaffirmed under the strategic asset allocation review in April 2021. If the return on pension assets is 3.5% in real terms and contributions are made at the actuarially required rates (which reflect the long-term cost of the plan benefit), the Plan benefits will be funded over time.

The assets of the Plans are diversified across a variety of asset classes, with the objective of achieving returns consistent with the LTRRO over the long term without taking undue risks. The returns on investments for the Plans have met or exceeded the LTRRO on a consistent basis in the long term as well as in recent years. The PFC periodically reviews the LTRRO for appropriateness. See Notes to Financial Statements, Note J: Pension and Other Post-Retirement Benefits for asset allocation, expected return on Plan assets and assumptions used to determine the PBO.

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Policies

The Plan has a long-standing ESG policy that reflects the latest developments and an understanding of responsible investments and ESG integration. The ESG policy is based on a principled and pragmatic approach in accordance with and subject to the fiduciary standard applicable to the administration and investment of Plan assets. The Plan’s ESG policy states that consideration of ESG factors, including but not limited to environmental practices, worker safety and health standards, and corporate governance, can add value to the investment process and affect assessment of the risk and return characteristics of investments.

Projected Benefit Obligation

Given that pension plan liabilities can be defined and measured in different ways, it is possible to have different funded status measures for the same plans. The most widely used and publicly disclosed measure of pension plan liabilities is the PBO measure required under U.S. GAAP. It reflects the present value of all retirement benefits earned by participants (adjusted for assumed inflation) as of a given date, including projected salary increases to retirement. Therefore, the PBO measure is an appropriate metric for assessing the ability of the Plans to cover expected benefits as of a certain date. The underlying actuarial assumptions used to determine the PBO, accumulated benefit obligations, and funded status associated with the Plans are based on financial market interest rates, experience, and Management’s best estimate of future benefit changes, economic conditions and earnings from plan assets.

The discount rate used to convert future obligations into today’s dollars is derived from high-grade, AA-rated corporate bond yields as required by U.S. GAAP. The overall overfunded status of the pension plans for IBRD and IDA of $2 billion as of June 30, 2022, net of PEBP assets, was primarily due to the actuarial gains in the projected benefit obligations as a result of the increase in the real discount rate. As the Plans are managed with a long-term horizon, results over shorter time periods may be impacted positively or negatively by market fluctuations.

Section XII: Critical Accounting Policies and the Use of Estimates

IBRD’s significant accounting policies, as well as estimates made by Management, are integral to its financial reporting. While all of these policies require a certain level of judgment and estimates, significant policies require Management to make highly difficult, complex, and subjective judgments as these relate to matters inherently uncertain and susceptible to change. Note A to the financial statements contains a summary of IBRD’s significant accounting policies including a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair values of financial instruments are based on a three-level hierarchy. For financial instruments classified as Level 1 or 2, less judgment is applied in arriving at fair value measures as the inputs are based on observable market data. For financial instruments classified as Level 3, unobservable inputs are used. These require Management to make important assumptions and judgments in determining fair value measures. Investments measured at net asset value per share (or its equivalent) are not classified in the fair value hierarchy.

Most of IBRD’s financial instruments which are recorded at fair value are classified as Levels 1 and 2. Table 37 presents the summary of the fair value of financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, and the amounts measured using significant Level 3 inputs. IBRD’s level 3 instruments are mainly structured bonds and related swaps held in the borrowing portfolio; these use market observable inputs and unobservable inputs such as correlations and interest rate volatilities. There were no Level 3 instruments in IBRD’s investment or loan portfolios as of June 30, 2022. All of IBRD’s loans were carried at amortized cost as of June 30, 2022.

IBRD reviews the methodology, inputs, and assumptions on a quarterly basis to assess the appropriateness of the fair value hierarchy classification of each financial instrument.

Some financial instruments are valued using pricing models. The valuation group, which is independent of the treasury and risk management functions, reviews all financial instrument models affecting financial reporting through fair value and assesses model appropriateness and consistency. The review looks at whether the models accurately reflect the characteristics of the transaction and its risks, the suitability and convergence properties of numerical algorithms, the reliability of data sources, the consistency of the treatment with models for similar products, and sensitivity to input parameters and assumptions that cannot be priced from the market.

Reviews are conducted of new and/or changed models, as well as previously validated models, to assess whether any changes in the product or market may have affected the model’s continued validity and whether any theoretical or competitive developments may require reassessment of the model’s adequacy.

The financial models used for input to IBRD’s financial statements are subject to both internal and periodic external verification and review by qualified personnel.

In cases where Management relies on instrument valuations supplied by external pricing vendors, procedures are in place to validate the appropriateness of the models used, as well as the inputs applied in determining those values.

Provision for Losses on Loans and Other Exposures

IBRD evaluates estimated exposures over the life of loans and other exposures, to incorporate undisbursed loan commitments in the measure of exposure, and to incorporate estimations of future market conditions for a reasonable and supportable forecast period along with historical experience. The overall provision for expected losses is the sum of the computed annual losses, taking into account borrower risk ratings and associated expected default frequencies, estimates of exposure, and severity of loss given default.

For loans carried at fair value, if any, the credit risk assessment is a determinant of fair value.

The determination of a borrower’s risk rating is based on complex variables such as: political risk, external debt and liquidity, fiscal policy and the public debt burden, balance of payments risks, economic structure and growth prospects, monetary and exchange rate policy, and financial sector risks and corporate sector debt and other vulnerabilities. Additionally, estimations of disbursements and repayments of exposures are made, as well as estimations of future interest cash flows based on forward looking market variables.

IBRD periodically reviews these variables and reassesses the adequacy of the accumulated provision accordingly. Actual losses may differ from expected losses owing to unforeseen changes in any of the variables affecting the creditworthiness or estimates inherent in the exposure measurements of borrowers.

The Credit Risk Committee monitors aspects of country credit risk, in particular, reviewing the provision for losses on loans and guarantees taking into account, among other factors, any changes in exposure, risk ratings of borrowing member countries, or movements between the accrual and nonaccrual portfolios.

The accumulated provision for loan losses is reported separately in the balance sheet as a reduction from IBRD’s total loans outstanding. The accumulated provision for losses on loan commitments and other exposures is

 

69


Table of Contents

included in accounts payable and miscellaneous liabilities. Increases or decreases in the accumulated provision for losses on loans and other exposures are reported in the Statement of Income as a provision for losses on loans and other exposures (see Notes to Financial Statements: Note A: Summary of Significant Accounting and Related Policies and Note D: Loans and Other Exposures).

Pension and Other Post-Retirement Benefits

The underlying actuarial assumptions used to determine the PBO, accumulated benefit obligations, and funded status associated with IBRD pension and other post-retirement benefit plans are based on financial market interest rates, experience, and Management’s best estimate of future benefit changes and economic conditions. All costs, assets and liabilities associated with these plans are allocated between IBRD, IFC, and MIGA based upon their employees’ respective participation in the plans. Costs allocated to IBRD are then shared between IBRD and IDA based on an agreed cost-sharing ratio. IDA, IFC and MIGA reimburse IBRD for their proportionate share of any contributions made to these plans by IBRD. Contributions to the plans are calculated as a percentage of salary (see Notes to Financial Statements, Note J: Pension and Other Post-Retirement Benefits).

Section XIII: Governance and Controls

Figure 30: Governance Structure

Business Conduct

The WBG promotes a positive work environment in which staff members understand their ethical obligations to the institution. In support of this commitment, the institution has a Code of Conduct in place. The WBG has both an Ethics Help Line and a Fraud and Corruption hotline. A third-party service offers many methods of worldwide communication. Reporting channels include telephone, mail, email, or confidential submission through a website.

IBRD has in place procedures for receiving, retaining, and handling recommendations and concerns relating to business conduct identified during the accounting, internal control, and auditing processes.

WBG staff rules clarify and codify the staff’s obligations in reporting suspected fraud, corruption, or other misconduct that may threaten the operations or governance of the WBG. These rules also offer protection from retaliation.

General Governance

IBRD’s decision-making structure consists of the Board of Governors, Executive Directors, the President, Management, and staff. The Board of Governors is the highest decision-making authority. Governors are

 

70


Table of Contents

appointed by their member governments for a five-year term, which is renewable. The Board of Governors may delegate authority to the Executive Directors to exercise any of its powers, except for certain powers enumerated in IBRD’s Articles. IBRD has its own policies and frameworks that are carried out by staff that share responsibilities over both IBRD and IDA.

In addition, IBRD and IDA have joint internal institutional oversight units which play an assurance role to shareholders and management that IBRD’s work is impactful and accountable, informed by best practices, and delivered to the highest ethical standards with risk management controls and governance processes that are functioning effectively. Expenses for these oversight units, including the Executive Directors, were $116.6 million in FY22 (and $111.7 million FY21) shared between IBRD and IDA.

Executive Directors

In accordance with IBRD’s Articles, Executive Directors are appointed or elected every two years by their member governments. The Board currently has 25 Executive Directors, who represent all 189 member countries. Executive Directors are neither officers nor staff of IBRD. The President is the only member of the Board from management, and he serves as a non-voting member and as Chairman of the Board.

The Board is required to consider proposals made by the President on IBRD loans, grants and guarantees and on other policies that affect its general operations. The Board is also responsible for presenting to the Governors, at the Annual Meetings, audited accounts, an administrative budget, and an annual report on operations and policies and other matters.

The Board and its committees are in continuous session based in Washington DC, as business requires. Each committee’s terms of reference establish its respective roles and responsibilities. As committees do not vote on issues, their role is primarily to serve the Board in discharging its responsibilities.

The committees are made up of eight members and function under their respective stipulated terms of reference. These committees are as follows:

 

 

Audit Committee—assists the Board in overseeing IBRD’s finances, accounting, risk management and internal controls (see further explanation below).

 

 

Budget Committee—assists the Board in approving the World Bank’s budget and in overseeing the preparation and execution of IBRD’s business plans. The committee provides guidance to management on strategic directions of IBRD.

 

 

Committee on Development Effectiveness—supports the Board in assessing IBRD’s development effectiveness, providing guidance on strategic directions of IBRD, monitoring the quality and results of operations.

 

 

Committee on Governance and Executive Directors’ Administrative Matters—assists the Board on issues related to the governance of IBRD, the Board’s own effectiveness, and the administrative policy applicable to Executive Directors’ offices.

 

 

Human Resources Committee—strengthens the efficiency and effectiveness of the Board in discharging its oversight responsibility on the World Bank’s human resources strategy, policies and practices, and their alignment with the business needs of the organization.

Audit Committee

Membership

The Audit Committee consists of eight Executive Directors. Membership in the Committee is determined by the Board, based on nominations by the Chairman of the Board, following informal consultation with Executive Directors.

 

71


Table of Contents

Key Responsibilities

The Audit Committee is appointed by the Board for the primary purpose of assisting the Board in overseeing IBRD’s finances, accounting, risk management, internal controls and institutional integrity. Specific responsibilities include:

 

 

Oversight of the integrity of IBRD’s financial statements.

 

 

Appointment, qualifications, independence and performance of the External Auditor.

 

 

Performance of the Group Internal Audit Department.

 

 

Adequacy and effectiveness of financial and accounting policies and internal controls and the mechanisms to deter, prevent and penalize fraud and corruption in IBRD operations and corporate procurement.

 

 

Effective management of financial, fiduciary and compliance risks in IBRD.

 

 

Oversight of the institutional arrangements and processes for risk management across IBRD.

In carrying out its role, the Audit Committee discusses financial issues and policies that affect IBRD’s financial position and capital adequacy with Management, external auditors, and internal auditors. It recommends the annual audited financial statements for approval to the Board. The Audit Committee monitors and reviews developments in corporate governance and its own role on an ongoing basis.

Executive Sessions

Under the Audit Committee’s terms of reference, it may convene an executive session at any time, without Management’s presence. The Audit Committee meets separately in executive sessions with the external and internal auditors.

Access to Resources and to Management

Throughout the year, the Audit Committee receives a large volume of information to enable it to carry out its duties and meets both formally and informally throughout the year to discuss relevant matters. It has complete access to Management, and reviews and discusses with Management topics considered in its terms of reference.

The Audit Committee has the authority to seek advice and assistance from outside legal, accounting, or other advisors as it deems necessary.

Auditor Independence

The appointment of the external auditor for IBRD is governed by a set of Board-approved principles. These include:

 

 

Limits on the external auditor’s provision of non-audit-related services

 

 

Requiring all audit-related services to be pre-approved on a case-by-case basis by the Board, upon recommendation of the Audit Committee, and

 

 

Renewal of the external audit contract every five years, with a limit of two consecutive terms and mandatory rotation thereafter.

The external auditor may provide non-prohibited, non-audit related services subject to monetary limits. Broadly, the list of prohibited non-audit services include those that would put the external auditor in the roles typically performed by management and in a position of auditing their own work, such as accounting services, internal audit services, and provision of investment advice. The total non-audit services fees over the term of the relevant external audit contract shall not exceed 70 percent of the audit fees over the same period.

Communication between the external auditor and the Audit Committee is ongoing and carried out as often as deemed necessary by either party. The Audit Committee meets periodically with the external auditor and

 

72


Table of Contents

individual committee members have independent access to the external auditor. IBRD’s external auditors also follow the communication requirements with the Audit Committee as set out under generally accepted auditing standards in the United States.

External Auditors

The external auditor is appointed to a five-year term, with a limit of two consecutive terms, and is subject to annual reappointment based on the recommendation of the Audit Committee and approval of a resolution by the Board.

Following a mandatory rebidding of the external audit contract, IBRD’s Board approved the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as IBRD’s external auditor for a five-year term from FY19 through FY23, subject to annual reappointment. In addition, in May 2022, IBRD’s Board approved Deloitte & Touche LLP as IBRD’s external auditor for a second five-year term commencing in FY24.

Senior Management Changes

The following changes were effective January 1, 2022:

 

 

Jingdong Hua, Vice President and Treasurer of the World Bank, retired.

 

 

Jorge Familiar was appointed to the role of Vice President and Treasurer of the World Bank.

 

 

Pamela O’Connell was appointed as the Vice President and World Bank Group Controller, succeeding Jorge Familiar in that role.

Internal Control

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Each fiscal year, Management evaluates the internal controls over financial reporting to determine whether any changes made in these controls during the fiscal year materially affect, or would be reasonably likely to materially affect, IBRD’s internal control over financial reporting. The internal control framework promulgated by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), “Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013)” provides guidance for designing, implementing and conducting internal control and assessing its effectiveness. IBRD uses the 2013 COSO framework to assess the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting. As of June 30, 2022, management maintained effective internal control over financial reporting. See “Management’s report regarding effectiveness of Internal Control over Financial Reporting” on page 86.

IBRD’s internal control over financial reporting was audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, and their report expresses an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of IBRD’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2022. See Independent Auditor’s Report on page 88.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed is gathered and communicated to Management as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure by IBRD. Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of such controls and procedures and the President and the MDCFO have concluded that these controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2022.

SECTION XIV: AFFILIATED ORGANIZATIONS—IDA, IFC AND MIGA

IDA’s purpose is to promote economic development in the less developed areas of the world included in IDA’s membership by providing a combination of grants and financing on concessionary and non-concessionary terms. IDA may not borrow from IBRD.

IDA has financed its operations over the years with its own equity, including periodic regular additions to equity provided by member countries as part of the replenishment process. As a result of strong support of member countries, IDA has built up a substantial equity base, amounting to $178.7 billion as of June 30, 2022. In order to make the most efficient use of the strong equity base that has been built up over the decades, IDA has moved to a hybrid financing model by including market debt in its business model starting from FY18. Leveraging its equity and blending market debt with additional contributions from members allows IDA to support the escalating demand for its resources and, through prudent risk management practices, ensure IDA’s long-term financial sustainability.

Under a statement of policy of IBRD’s Board of Governors, IBRD may make transfers to IDA only out of net income that (a) accrued during the fiscal year in respect of which the transfer is made and (b) is not needed for allocation to reserves or otherwise required to be retained in IBRD’s business. Transfers may also be made out of net income previously transferred to surplus, upon the approval of the Board of Governors. In FY 2022, IDA received $274 million from IBRD, resulting in cumulative transfers to IDA of $16.4 billion as of June 30, 2022. For additional information on transfers of IBRD’s net income to IDA, see Section III of the MD&A Net Income Allocation and the Notes to Financial Statements—Note G—Retained Earnings, Allocations and Transfers.

IFC helps developing countries achieve sustainable growth by financing private sector investments, mobilizing capital in international financial markets and providing advisory services to businesses and governments. Under its Articles, IBRD is permitted to make loans to IFC (without a guarantee), subject to the limitation that IBRD may not lend IFC any amount which would increase its total outstanding debt beyond a certain threshold. IBRD has a Local Currency Loan Facility Agreement with IFC, which is capped at $300 million. As of June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2021, there were no loans outstanding under this facility.

MIGA was established to encourage the flow of investments for productive purposes by providing guarantees against noncommercial risks for foreign investment in its developing member countries. IBRD may not lend to MIGA.

For details of transactions with affiliated organizations, see the Notes to the Financial Statements—Note H— Transactions with Affiliated Organizations.

SECTION XV: ADMINISTRATION OF IBRD

IBRD’s administration is composed of the Board of Governors, the Executive Directors, the President, other officers, and staff.

All the powers of IBRD are vested in the Board of Governors, which consists of a Governor and an Alternate Governor appointed by each member of IBRD, who exercise the voting power to which that member is entitled. Each member is entitled to an equal number of basic votes (representing 5.55 percent of the total voting power in aggregate) plus one vote for each share held. The Board of Governors holds regular annual meetings.

There are 25 Executive Directors. Five of these are appointed, one by each of the five members having the largest number of shares of capital stock at the time of such appointment (the United States, Japan, China, Germany, and France and the United Kingdom (tied for fifth)), and the remainder are elected by the Governors representing the other members. The Board of Governors has delegated to the Executive Directors authority to exercise all the

powers of IBRD except those reserved to the Governors under the Articles. The Executive Directors function as a board, and each Executive Director is entitled to cast the number of votes of the member or members by which such person is appointed or elected.

SECTION XVI: THE ARTICLES OF AGREEMENT

The Articles constitute IBRD’s governing charter. They establish the status, privileges and immunities of IBRD, prescribe IBRD’s purposes, capital structure and organization, authorize the operations in which it may engage and impose limitations on the conduct of those operations. The Articles also contain, among other things, provisions with respect to the admission of additional members, the increase of the authorized capital stock of IBRD, the terms and conditions under which IBRD may make or guarantee loans, the use of currencies held by IBRD, the distribution of net income of IBRD to its members, the withdrawal and suspension of members, and the suspension of operations of IBRD.

The Articles provide that they may be amended (except for certain provisions the amendment of which requires acceptance by all members) by consent of three-fifths of the members having 85% of the total voting power. The Articles further provide that questions of interpretation of provisions of the Articles arising between any member and IBRD or between members of IBRD shall be decided by the Executive Directors. Their decisions may be referred by any member to the Board of Governors, whose decision is final. Pending the result of such reference, IBRD may act on the basis of the decision of the Executive Directors.

The Articles and the decisions made by the Executive Directors on questions of interpretation may be obtained from IBRD.

SECTION XVII: LEGAL STATUS, PRIVILEGES AND IMMUNITIES

The Articles contain provisions which accord to IBRD, in the territories of each of its members, legal status and certain privileges and immunities. The following is a summary of the more important of these provisions.

IBRD has full juridical personality with capacity to make contracts, to acquire and dispose of property and to sue and be sued. Actions may be brought against IBRD in a court of competent jurisdiction in territories of any member in which IBRD has an office, has appointed an agent for accepting service or notice of process or has issued or guaranteed securities, but no actions against IBRD may be brought by its members or persons acting for or deriving claims from its members.

The Governors and Executive Directors, and their Alternates, and the officers and employees of IBRD are immune from legal process for acts performed by them in their official capacity, except when IBRD waives such immunity.

The archives of IBRD are inviolable. The assets of IBRD are immune from seizure, attachment or execution prior to delivery of final judgment against IBRD.

IBRD, its assets, property and income, and its operations and transactions authorized by the Articles, are immune from all taxation and from all customs duties. IBRD is also immune from liability for the collection or payment of any tax or duty.

The securities issued by IBRD and the interest thereon are not exempt from taxation generally.

Under the Articles, securities issued by IBRD and the interest thereon are not subject to any tax by a member (a) which tax discriminates against such securities solely because they are issued by IBRD, or (b) if the sole jurisdictional basis for the tax is the place or currency in which such securities are issued, made payable or paid, or the location of any office or place of business maintained by IBRD. Also, under the Articles, IBRD is not under any obligation to withhold or pay any tax on any interest on such securities.

SECTION XVIII: FISCAL YEAR, ANNOUNCEMENTS, AND ALLOCATION OF NET INCOME

FISCAL YEAR

IBRD’s fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Pursuant to the Articles, IBRD published an annual report containing its audited financial statements and distributed quarterly financial statements to its members.

ALLOCATION OF NET INCOME

The Board of Governors determines annually what part of IBRD’s net income, after making provisions for reserves, shall be allocated to surplus and what part, if any, shall be distributed. Since its inception, IBRD has neither declared nor paid any dividend to its member countries. However, IBRD has periodically transferred a portion of its net income to IDA or to other uses that promote the purpose of IBRD (see Section III of the MD&A Net Income Allocation and the Notes to Financial Statements—Note G—Retained Earnings, Allocations and Transfers).

SECTION XIX: FEES TO EXTERNAL AUDITORS

The external auditor is appointed to a five-year term, with a limit of two consecutive terms, and is subject to annual reappointment based on the recommendation of the Audit Committee and approval of a resolution by the Board. Following a mandatory rebidding of the external audit contract, IBRD’s Board approved the appointment of Deloitte & Touche, LLP (Deloitte) as IBRD’s external auditor for a five-year term from FY19 through FY23, subject to annual reappointment. In addition, in May 2022, IBRD’s Board approved Deloitte as IBRD’s external auditor for a second five-year term commencing in FY24.

For FY 2022 and FY 2021 Deloitte served as IBRD’s independent external auditors. The aggregate fees for professional services rendered for IBRD and IDA by Deloitte for FY 2022 and FY 2021 are as follows: $2.5 million for FY 2022 audit services ($2.5 million—FY 2021) and $0.6 million for FY 2022 audit-related services ($0.9 million—FY 2021). Audit-related services include accounting consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards. Starting in FY 2019, the external auditors are now able to provide non-prohibited non-audit services. Fees related to non-audit services amounted to $4.1 million for FY 2022 ($2.4 million for FY 2021). IBRD records its share of these fees as part of administrative expenses based on an agreed cost sharing formula. (See the Notes to the Financial Statements—Note H—Transactions with Affiliated Organizations, for a description of the allocation of administrative expenses between IBRD and IDA.)

See the Governance section of this Information Statement for additional discussion of auditor independence matters.

MANAGEMENTS FINANCIAL REPORTING ASSURANCE

 

 

 

August 5, 2022

Audit Committee of the Board of Executive Directors

International Bank for Reconstruction and Development

We have reviewed the financial statements for the period ending on June 30, 2022, and the accompanying management’s discussion and analysis of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) (collectively, the “Reports”). Based on our knowledge, the Reports do not (1) contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or (2) omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by the Reports.

Based on our knowledge, the financial statements and other financial information included in the Reports fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations, changes in net assets, and cash flows of IBRD for the periods presented in the Reports.

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls and procedures over financial reporting for IBRD. As part of carrying out these responsibilities, Management has:

 

   

designed internal controls and procedures to ensure that material information required to meet the accuracy and completeness standards set forth above with regard to the Reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner, as well as to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to Management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure; and

 

   

designed internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Management has evaluated the effectiveness of IBRD’s internal controls and procedures as of the date of the Reports; and presented in management’s discussion and analysis its conclusions about the effectiveness of such controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by the Reports, based on such evaluation. Management has disclosed in the Reports any change in IBRD’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by the Reports that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, IBRD’s internal control over financial reporting.

Further, Management has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to IBRD’s external auditors and the Audit Committee of IBRD’s Board of Executive Directors:

 

   

all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect IBRD’s ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial information; and

 

   

any fraud, whether or not material, that involves Management or other employees who have a significant role in IBRD’s internal control over financial reporting.

MANAGEMENTS REPORT REGARDING EFFECTIVENESS OF INTERNAL CONTROL OVER EXTERNAL FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

 

 

Management’s Report Regarding Effectiveness of

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

August 5, 2022

The management of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) is responsible for the preparation, integrity, and fair presentation of its published financial statements. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include amounts based on informed judgments and estimates made by management.

The financial statements have been audited by an independent audit firm, which was given unrestricted access to all financial records and related data, including minutes of all meetings of the Executive Directors and their Committees. Management believes that all representations made to the independent auditors during their audit of IBRD’s financial statements and audit of its internal control over financial reporting were valid and appropriate. The independent auditors’ reports accompany the audited financial statements.

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting for financial statement presentations in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Management maintains a comprehensive system of controls intended to ensure that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization, assets are safeguarded, and financial records are reliable. The system of internal control contains monitoring mechanisms, and actions are taken to correct deficiencies identified. Management believes that internal control over financial reporting supports the integrity and reliability of the external financial statements.

There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal control, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal controls may vary over time.

IBRD assessed its internal control over financial reporting for financial statement presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as of June 30, 2022. This assessment was based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based upon this assessment, management believes that IBRD maintained effective internal control over financial reporting presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as of June 30, 2022. The independent audit firm that audited the financial statements has issued an Independent Auditors Report which expresses an opinion on IBRD’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Executive Directors of IBRD have appointed an Audit Committee responsible for monitoring the accounting practices and internal controls of IBRD. The Audit Committee is comprised entirely of Executive Directors who are independent of IBRD’s management. The Audit Committee is responsible for recommending to the Executive Directors the selection of independent auditors. It meets periodically with management, the independent auditors, and the internal auditors to ensure that they are carrying out their responsibilities. The Audit Committee is responsible for performing an oversight role by reviewing and monitoring the financial, accounting and auditing procedures of IBRD in addition to reviewing IBRD’s financial reports.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

President and Board of Executive Directors

International Bank for Reconstruction and Development

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (“IBRD”) as of June 30, 2022, based on the criteria established in the Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, IBRD maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2022, based on the criteria established in the Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

We also have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS), the financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022 of IBRD, and our report dated August 5, 2022, expressed an unmodified opinion on those financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with GAAS. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Internal Control over Financial Reporting section of our report. We are required to be independent of IBRD and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Responsibilities of Management for Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment about the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report Regarding Effectiveness of Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion on internal control over financial reporting. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit of internal control over financial reporting conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material weakness when it exists.

 

88


Table of Contents

In performing an audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with GAAS, we:

 

   

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

 

   

Obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assess the risks that a material weakness exists, and test and evaluate the design and operating effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the assessed risk.

Definition and Inherent Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

An entity’s internal control over financial reporting is a process effected by those charged with governance, management, and other personnel, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the preparation of reliable financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. An entity’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the entity; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the entity are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and those charged with governance; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention, or timely detection and correction of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the entity’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements. Also, projections of any assessment of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

President and Board of Executive Directors

International Bank for Reconstruction and Development

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (“IBRD”), which comprise the balance sheets as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the related statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in retained earnings, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2022, and the related notes to the financial statements (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of IBRD as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2022, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS), IBRD’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated August 5, 2022, expressed an unmodified opinion on IBRD’s internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with GAAS. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of IBRD and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Change in Accounting Principle

As described in Note A to the financial statements, IBRD changed its method of accounting for the accumulated provision for loan losses and other exposures on July 1, 2020, due to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

90


Table of Contents

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about IBRD’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

 

   

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

 

   

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

 

   

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances.

 

   

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.

 

   

Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about IBRD’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Report on Supplementary Information

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a whole. The supplementary information listed in the table of contents is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements. These schedules are the responsibility IBRD’s management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. Such schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with GAAS. In our opinion, such information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

Other Information Included in Management’s Discussion & Analysis and Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the other information included in Management’s Discussion & Analysis and Financial Statements. The other information comprises the information included in Management’s Discussion & Analysis and Financial Statements but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.

 

91


Table of Contents

In connection with our audits of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

PURPOSE AND AFFILIATED ORGANIZATIONS

The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) is an international organization which commenced operations in 1946. The principal purpose of IBRD is to promote sustainable economic development and reduce poverty in its member countries, primarily by providing loans, guarantees and related technical assistance for specific projects and for programs of economic reform in developing member countries. The activities of IBRD are complemented by those of three affiliated organizations, the International Development Association (IDA), the International Finance Corporation (IFC), and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA). Each of these organizations is legally and financially independent from IBRD, with separate assets and liabilities, and IBRD is not liable for their respective obligations. Transactions with these affiliated organizations are disclosed in the notes that follow.

IBRD is immune from taxation pursuant to Article VII, Section 9, Immunities from Taxation, of IBRD’s Articles of Agreement.

NOTE A—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND RELATED POLICIES

IBRD’s financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making these estimates, actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant judgment has been used in the valuation of certain financial instruments, the determination of the adequacy of the accumulated provisions for losses on loans and other exposures, the determination of the net periodic cost from pension and other postretirement benefits plans, and the present value of projected benefit obligations.

On August 4, 2022, the Executive Directors approved these financial statements for issue.

Certain reclassifications of the prior year’s information have been made to conform with the current year’s presentation.

Translation of Currencies:    IBRD’s financial statements are expressed in terms of U.S. dollars for the purpose of reporting IBRD’s financial position and the results of its operations. IBRD’s functional currencies are the U.S. dollar and euro.

Assets and liabilities are translated at market exchange rates in effect at the end of the reporting period. Revenue and expenses are translated at either the market exchange rates in effect on the dates on which they are recognized or at an average of the market exchange rates in effect during the month of the transaction. Translation adjustments relating to non-functional currencies are reflected in the Statement of Income, while translation adjustments for assets and liabilities denominated in euro are reflected in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Valuation of Capital Stock:    In the Articles of Agreement, the capital stock of IBRD is expressed in terms of “U.S. dollars of the weight and fineness in effect on July 1, 1944” (“1944 dollars”). Following the abolition of gold as a common denominator of the monetary system and the repeal of the provision of the U.S. law defining

 

107


Table of Contents

the par value of the U.S. dollar in terms of gold, the pre-existing basis for translating 1944 dollars into current dollars or into any other currency was eliminated. The Executive Directors of IBRD have decided, until such time as the relevant provisions of the Articles of Agreement are amended, that the words “U.S. dollars of the weight and fineness in effect on July 1, 1944” in Article II, Section 2(a) of the Articles of Agreement of IBRD are interpreted to mean the Special Drawing Right (SDR) introduced by the International Monetary Fund, as valued in terms of U.S. dollars immediately before the introduction of the basket method of valuing the SDR on July 1, 1974, such value being $1.20635 for one SDR (“1974 SDR”).

Maintenance of Value:    Article II, Section 9 of the Articles of Agreement provides for maintenance of value (MOV), at the time of subscription, of national currencies paid-in, which are subject to certain restrictions. MOV is determined by measuring the foreign exchange value of a member’s national currency against the standard of value of IBRD’s capital based on the 1974 SDR. MOV receivable are amounts due from members on account of movements in exchange rates from the date of initial subscription, resulting in the reduction in the value of their paid-in capital denominated in national currencies. Members are required to make payments to IBRD if their currencies depreciate significantly relative to the standard of value. These amounts may be settled either in cash or a nonnegotiable, noninterest-bearing note, which is due on demand. Certain notes are due on demand only after IBRD’s callable subscribed capital has been entirely called pursuant to Article IV, Section 2 (a) of the Articles of Agreement. Furthermore, the Executive Directors have adopted a policy of reimbursing members whose national currencies appreciate significantly in terms of the standard of value.

MOV is deferred when the restriction of national currencies paid-in is lifted and these currencies are being used in IBRD’s operations and/or are being invested, swapped, or loaned to members by IBRD or through IFC. Once these restricted currencies are no longer being used in operations, the related MOV is no longer deferred, but rather, becomes due on the same terms as other MOV obligations.

All MOV receivable balances are shown as components of Equity, under Receivable amounts to maintain value of currency holdings. All MOV payable balances are included in Other liabilities-Accounts payable and miscellaneous liabilities on the Balance Sheet. The net receivable or payable MOV amounts relating to national currencies used in IBRD’s lending and investing operations are also included as a component of Equity under Deferred amounts to maintain value of currency holdings.

Withdrawal of Membership:    Under IBRD’s Articles of Agreement, in the event a member withdraws from IBRD, the withdrawing member is entitled to receive the value of its shares payable to the extent the member does not have any outstanding obligations to IBRD. IBRD’s Articles of Agreement also state that the former member has continuing obligations to IBRD after withdrawal. Specifically, the former member remains fully liable for its entire capital subscription, including both the previously paid-in portion and the callable portion, so long as any part of the loans or guarantees contracted before it ceased to be a member are outstanding.

Transfers Approved by the Board of Governors:    In accordance with IBRD’s Articles of Agreement, as interpreted by the Executive Directors, the Board of Governors may exercise its reserved power to approve transfers to other entities for development purposes. When unconditional, these transfers, which are included in the Board of Governors-approved and other transfers line in the Statement of Income, are reported as expenses upon approval. If conditional, these transfers are expensed when the conditions specified for the use by the beneficiaries have been met. The transfers are funded from the preceding fiscal year’s Net Income, Surplus, Restricted Retained Earnings or Other Reserves.

Retained Earnings:    Retained Earnings consist of allocated amounts (Special Reserve, General Reserve, Pension Reserve, Surplus, Cumulative Fair Value Adjustments, Restricted Retained Earnings, Other Reserves) and Unallocated Net Income (Loss).

The Special Reserve consists of loan commissions set aside pursuant to Article IV, Section 6 of the Articles of Agreement, which are to be held in liquid assets. These assets may be used only for the purpose of meeting liabilities of IBRD on its borrowings and guarantees in the event of default on loans made, participated in, or guaranteed by IBRD. The Special Reserve assets are included under Investments-Trading, and comprise

 

108


Table of Contents

obligations of the United States Government, its agencies, and other official entities. The allocation of such commissions to the Special Reserve was discontinued in 1964 with respect to subsequent loans and no further additions are being made to it.

The General Reserve consists of earnings from prior fiscal years which, in the judgment of the Executive Directors, should be retained in IBRD’s operations.

The Pension Reserve consists of the difference between the cumulative actual funding of the Staff Retirement Plan and Trust (SRP) and other postretirement benefits plans, and the cumulative accounting income or expense for these plans, from prior fiscal years. This reserve is reduced when pension accounting expenses exceed the actual funding of these plans. In addition, the Pension Reserve also includes investment revenue earned on the Post-Employment Benefits Plan (PEBP) portfolio as well as Post Retirement Contribution Reserve Fund (PCRF), which is used to stabilize IBRD’s contributions to the pension plan.

Surplus consists of earnings from prior fiscal years which are retained by IBRD until a further decision is made on their disposition.

Cumulative Fair Value Adjustments consist of the reclassification and amortization of transition adjustments and the unrealized mark-to-market gains or losses on non-trading portfolios.

Restricted Retained Earnings consists of contributions or revenue from prior years which are contractually restricted as to their purpose.

Unallocated Net Income (Loss) consists of the current fiscal year’s net income (loss) adjusted for Board of Governors-approved and other transfers made during the year.

Other Reserves consist of allocations from Surplus and non-functional currency translation adjustment gains/losses from prior fiscal years. Allocations from Surplus are retained by IBRD until the conditions specified for their use by the beneficiaries have been met.

Loans and Other Exposures:    All IBRD loans are made to or guaranteed by countries that are members of IBRD, except for loans made to IFC. The majority of IBRD’s loans have repayment obligations based on specific currencies. IBRD also holds multicurrency loans which have repayment obligations in various currencies determined on the basis of a currency pooling system. Other exposures comprise signed commitments (including deferred drawdown options that are effective, and irrevocable commitments), exposures to member countries’ derivatives and guarantees.

Loans are reported on the balance sheet at amortized cost. Commitment charges on the undisbursed balance of loans are recognized in revenue as earned. Any loan origination fees incorporated in the terms of a loan are deferred and recognized over the life of the loan as an adjustment of the yield. The unamortized balance of loan origination fees is included as a reduction of the Loans outstanding on the Balance Sheet, and the amortization of loan origination fees are included in Interest revenue from Loans, net in the Statement of Income. Accrued interest is presented in the Balance Sheet line item Other receivables—Accrued income on loans.

It is IBRD’s practice not to reschedule interest or principal payments on its loans or participate in debt rescheduling agreements with respect to its loans. Should modifications be made to the terms of existing loans, IBRD would perform an evaluation to determine the required accounting treatment, including whether the modification would result in the affected loans being accounted for as trouble debt restructuring, as a new loan, or as a continuation of the existing loan.

It is IBRD’s policy to place all loans and other exposures (collectively “exposures”) made to or guaranteed by a member of IBRD into nonaccrual status if principal, interest, or other charges with respect to any such exposures are overdue by more than six months, unless IBRD’s management determines that the overdue amount will be collected in the immediate future. In addition, if loans and other exposures made by IDA to a member government are placed in nonaccrual status, all loans and other exposures made to, or guaranteed by, that member government will also be placed in nonaccrual status by IBRD. On the date a member’s exposures are

 

109


Table of Contents

placed into nonaccrual status, unpaid interest and other charges accrued on exposures to the member are deducted from the revenue of the current period.

Interest and other charges on nonaccruing exposures are included in revenue only to the extent that payments have been received by IBRD. A decision on the restoration of accrual status is made upon arrears clearance. If collectability risk is considered to be particularly high at the time of arrears clearance, the member’s exposures may not automatically emerge from nonaccrual status until a suitable period of payment performance has passed.

Loan Commitments:    Undisbursed loans relate to operations approved by the Executive Directors, for which disbursements are yet to be made. IBRD records a provision for expected losses on undisbursed loan commitments including Deferred Drawdown Options (DDOs), when signed by both parties. The signature of the loan agreement is a binding event that prevents IBRD from unconditionally withdrawing from the agreement.

Guarantees:    Financial guarantees are commitments issued by IBRD to guarantee payment by a member country (the debtor) to a third party in the event that a member government (or a government-owned entity) fails to perform its contractual obligations to a third party.

Guarantees are regarded as outstanding when the underlying financial obligation of the debtor is incurred, and called when a guaranteed party demands payment under the guarantee. IBRD would be required to perform under its guarantees if the payments guaranteed were not made by the debtor and the guaranteed party called the guarantee by demanding payment from IBRD in accordance with the terms of the guarantee. In the event that a guarantee of a member country is called, IBRD has the contractual right to require payment from the member country.

IBRD records the fair value of the obligation to stand ready in Other Liabilities—Accounts payable and miscellaneous liabilities, and a corresponding fees receivable asset in the Other Receivables—Accrued income on loans line on IBRD’s Balance Sheet. Upfront guarantee fees received are deferred and amortized over the life of the guarantee.

Accumulated Provision for Losses on Loans and Other Exposures:    Management determines the appropriate level of accumulated provisions for losses on exposures, which reflects the expected losses inherent in IBRD’s exposures.

Loans

Loan exposures are disaggregated into two groups: exposures in accrual status and exposures in nonaccrual status. In each group, a credit risk rating is assigned to exposures for each borrower.

The total exposure for provisioning is the current exposure and the estimated future exposure, taking into account expected disbursements and repayments over the life of the instruments. The expected credit losses related to loans and other exposures are calculated over the life of the instruments based on the annual estimated exposures, the expected default frequency (probability of default to IBRD) and the estimated loss given default. The provision for expected losses is the sum of the expected annual losses over the life of the instruments.

For countries in accrual status, these exposures are grouped in pools of borrowers with a similar risk rating. The determination of a borrower’s ratings is based on various factors (see Note D—Loans and other exposures). Each risk rating is mapped to an expected default frequency using IBRD’s credit migration matrix, based on historical observations of credit ratings at the beginning and at the end of each year.

Expected losses on loan exposures comprise estimates of potential losses arising from the economic loss due to delays in receiving payments. The estimated loss given default is determined at each balance sheet date, based on IBRD’s historical experience, as well as parameters adjusted for current conditions during the reasonable and supportable forecast period of IBRD. The loss given default is based on the borrower’s eligibility, namely: IBRD, Blend (IBRD and IDA) and IDA, with the highest loss given default associated with IDA eligibility. The main factors used to determine the loss given default are the estimated length of delays in receiving loan payments, and the effective interest rate of the exposure. As the majority of IBRD’s loans carry a variable interest rate, the loss severity is impacted by the changes in forward looking market interest rates.

Table of Contents

For the calculation of expected credit losses, IBRD applies a three-year reasonable and supportable forecast period, representing the most reliable and available economic data during this period. IBRD also applies a ten-year straight-line reversion to the mean to reflect the historical pattern of rating migration to the mean of its loan portfolio.

This methodology is also applied to countries with exposures in nonaccrual status, although the expected default frequency is equal to a hundred percent. At times, to reflect certain distinguishing circumstances of a particular nonaccrual situation, different input assumptions may be used for a specific country.

All exposures for countries in nonaccrual status are individually assessed. Exposure for certain countries in accrual status may be individually assessed on the basis that they do not share common risk characteristics with an existing pool of exposures. It is IBRD’s practice not to write off loans. All contractual obligations associated with exposures in nonaccrual status have eventually been cleared, and borrowers have emerged from nonaccrual status. To date, no loans have been written off.

Management reassesses the adequacy of the accumulated provision on a quarterly basis and adjustments to the accumulated provision are recorded as a charge to or release of provision in the Statement of Income. In addition, reasonableness of the inputs used is reassessed at least annually.

When IBRD receives a third-party guarantee in the form of a credit enhancement that is embedded in the loan agreement with the borrower, it considers the benefit of the credit enhancement in the loan loss provisioning credit risk assessment.

Loan Commitments

IBRD records the expected credit losses on loan commitments based on the projected disbursements of signed loan commitments (adjusted by cancellations based on historical experience), the probability of default and loss given default. The provision is included in Other liabilities—Accounts payable and miscellaneous liabilities on the Balance Sheet.

Guarantees

IBRD records a contingent liability for the expected losses related to guarantees over the projected life of the instruments, which is determined based on the estimated exposure at default, multiplied by the corresponding loss given default and expected default probability for the projected life of the guarantee. This provision, as well as the unamortized balance of the deferred guarantee fees, and the unamortized balance of the obligation to stand-ready, are included in Other Liabilities—Accounts payable and miscellaneous liabilities on the Balance Sheet.

Exposure Exchange Agreements (EEAs)

IBRD executes EEAs with various organizations. While these agreements are not legally considered guarantees, in IBRD’s financial statements they are recognized as financial guarantees as they meet the accounting criteria for financial guarantees. Under an EEA, each party exchanges credit risk exposure of a portfolio supported by underlying loans to borrowers, by providing and receiving guarantees from each other, for the amounts specified. The guarantee provided and the guarantee received are two separate transactions; namely (a) the provision of a financial guarantee, and (b) the receipt of an asset. There is generally no exchange of cash between the organizations for these transactions.

For a guarantee provided under an EEA, IBRD records a liability equivalent to the fair value of the obligation to stand ready. This liability is included in Other liabilities—Accounts payable and miscellaneous liabilities on the Balance Sheet and is amortized over the life of the EEA. IBRD also records a liability, and corresponding expense, in recognition of the risk coverage provided (provision). The value of this liability reflects the credit quality of the underlying loans in the portfolio and changes over the life of the EEA as the credit quality of these loans changes.

Table of Contents

For a guarantee received under an EEA, IBRD records an asset equivalent to the fair value of the right to be indemnified. This asset is included in Other assets – Miscellaneous on the Balance Sheet and is amortized over the life of the EEA. IBRD also records an asset, and corresponding income, in recognition of the risk coverage received (recoverable asset). The value of this asset reflects the credit quality of the underlying loans in the portfolio and changes over the life of the EEA contract as the credit quality of these loans changes.

Segment Reporting:    Based on an evaluation of IBRD’s operations, Management has determined that IBRD has one reportable segment since financial results are reviewed and resource allocation decisions are made at the entity level.

Statement of Cash Flows:    For the purpose of IBRD’s Statement of Cash Flows, cash is defined as the amount of Unrestricted cash and Restricted cash under the Due from banks line on the Balance Sheet.

Restricted Cash:    This includes amounts which have been received from members as part of their capital subscriptions, as well as from donors and other sources, which are restricted for specified purposes. For capital subscriptions, a portion of these subscriptions have been paid to IBRD in the national currencies of the members. These amounts are usable by IBRD in its lending and investing operations, only with the consent of the respective members, and for administrative expenses incurred in national currencies.

Investments:    Investment securities are classified based on Management’s intention on the date of purchase, their nature, and IBRD’s policies governing the level and use of such investments. As of June 30, 2022, all of the financial instruments in IBRD’s investment portfolio were classified as trading. These securities are carried and reported at fair value, or at face value or net asset value (NAV), which approximate fair value.

Where available, quoted market prices are used to determine the fair value of trading securities. These include most government and agency securities, exchange-traded equity securities, Asset-backed Securities (ABS), and Mortgage-backed Securities (MBS). For instruments for which market quotations are not available, fair values are determined using model-based valuation techniques, whether internally-generated or vendor-supplied, that include the discounted cash flow method using observable market inputs such as yield curves, credit spreads, and conditional prepayment rates. Where applicable, unobservable inputs such as conditional prepayment rates, probability of default and loss severity are used. Unless quoted prices are available, time deposits are reported at face value which approximates fair value, as they are short term in nature. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Time deposits and money market deposits are recorded at settlement. The first-in first-out method is used to determine the cost of securities sold in computing the realized gains and losses on these instruments. Derivative instruments used in liquidity management are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes.

Interest revenue is included in the Investments-Trading, net line in the Statement of Income. Unrealized gains and losses for investment securities and related financial instruments held in the trading portfolio are included in the Unrealized mark-to-market gains (losses) on Investments-Trading portfolio, net line in the Statement of Income. Realized gains and losses on trading securities are recognized in the Statement of Income when securities are sold.

IBRD may require collateral in the form of approved liquid securities from individual counterparties or cash, under legal agreements that provide for collateralization, in order to mitigate its credit exposure to these counterparties. For collateral received in the form of cash from counterparties, IBRD invests the amounts received and records the investment and a corresponding obligation to return the cash. Collateral received in the form of liquid securities is only recorded on IBRD’s Balance Sheet to the extent that it has been transferred under securities lending agreements in return for cash.

Securities Purchased Under Resale Agreements, Securities Lent Under Securities Lending Agreements and Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements and Payable for Cash Collateral Received:    Securities purchased under resale agreements, securities lent under securities lending agreements, securities sold under repurchase agreements and payable for cash collateral received are reported at face value which approximates fair value, as they are short term in nature. IBRD receives securities purchased under resale agreements, monitors

the fair value of the securities and, if necessary, closes out transactions and enters into new repriced transactions. The securities transferred to counterparties under repurchase and security lending arrangements and the securities transferred to IBRD under resale agreements have not met the accounting criteria for treatment as a sale. Therefore, securities transferred under repurchase agreements and security lending arrangements are retained as assets on the Balance Sheet, and securities received under resale agreements are not recorded on the Balance Sheet. Securities lent under securities lending agreements and sold under securities repurchase agreements as well as securities purchased under resale agreements are presented on a gross basis which is consistent with the manner in which these instruments are settled. The interest earned from securities purchased under resale agreements is included in Investments–Trading, net in the Statement of Income. The interest expense pertaining to the securities sold under repurchase agreements and security lending arrangements, is included in the Borrowing expenses, net line in the Statement of Income.

Nonnegotiable, Noninterest-bearing Demand Obligations on Account of Subscribed Capital:    All demand obligations are held in bank accounts which bear IBRD’s name and are carried and reported at face value as a reduction to equity. Payments on some of these instruments are due to IBRD upon demand. Others are due to IBRD on demand, but only after IBRD’s callable subscribed capital has been entirely called pursuant to Article IV, Section 2 (a) of the Articles of Agreement.

Premises and Equipment:    Premises and equipment, including leasehold improvements, and information technology assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. IBRD computes depreciation and amortization using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the owned assets, which range between three and fifty years. For leasehold improvements, depreciation is computed over the lesser of the remaining term of the leased facility or the estimated economic life of the improvement.

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, while major improvements are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life.

Lessee Arrangements:    IBRD’s lessee arrangements are mostly real estate operating leases. Under these arrangements, IBRD records right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at lease commencement. Right-of-use assets are reported in Other assets—Premises and equipment, net and the related lease liabilities are reported in Other liabilities—Accounts payable and miscellaneous liabilities. IBRD has elected to account for the lease and non-lease components together as a single lease component. At lease commencement, lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments and discounted using IBRD’s incremental borrowing rate. All leases are recorded on the Balance Sheet except short-term leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. Lease expense, including that for short-term leases, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in Administrative expenses in the Statement of Income.

Borrowings:    To ensure funds are available for lending and liquidity purposes, IBRD borrows in the international capital markets, offering its securities (discount notes, vanilla and structured bonds) to private and governmental buyers. IBRD issues debt instruments of varying maturities denominated in various currencies with both fixed and variable interest rates.

IBRD has elected the fair value option for all borrowings. All changes in fair value are recognized in the related Unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on non-trading portfolios, net, line in the Statement of Income, except for changes in the fair value related to IBRD’s own credit risk, which are reported in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) as a Debit Valuation Adjustment (DVA). The DVA on fair value option elected liabilities is measured by revaluing each borrowing instrument to determine the changes in fair value of that instrument arising from changes in IBRD’s funding spread relative to the applicable reference rate.

Structured bonds issued by IBRD have coupon or repayment terms linked to the level or the performance of interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity indices, catastrophic events or commodities.

For the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows, short-term borrowings, if any, with original maturities less than 90 days, are presented net of new issuances and retirements. By contrast, short-term borrowings with original maturities greater than 90 days and up to one year are presented on a gross basis.

Interest expense relating to all debt instruments in IBRD’s borrowing portfolio is measured on an effective yield basis and is reported as part of Borrowing expenses, net in the Statement of Income.

Amortization of discounts and premiums is recorded using the effective interest method and is included in the Borrowing expenses, net line in the Statement of Income.

Accounting for Derivatives:    IBRD has elected not to designate any hedging relationships for accounting purposes. Rather, all derivative instruments are reported at fair value on the Balance Sheet, with changes in fair values accounted for through the Statement of Income.

The presentation of derivative instruments on IBRD’s Balance Sheet reflects the netting of derivative asset and liability positions and the related cash collateral received from the counterparty, when a legally enforceable master netting agreement exists, and the other conditions set out in ASC Topic 210-20, Balance Sheet—Offsetting, are met.

In addition, in the Notes to the financial statements, unless stated differently, derivatives are presented on a net basis by instrument.

A master netting agreement is an industry standard agreement with a counterparty that permits multiple transactions governed by that agreement to be terminated or accelerated and settled through a single payment in a single currency in the event of a default (e.g., bankruptcy, failure to make a required payment or transfer security or deliver collateral when due). Obligations under master netting agreements are often secured by collateral posted under an industry standard credit support annex to the master netting agreement. Upon default by the counterparty, the collateral agreement grants an entity the right to set-off any amounts payable by the counterparty against any posted collateral.

IBRD uses derivative instruments in its investment trading portfolio to manage interest rate and currency risks. These derivatives are carried and reported at fair value. Interest revenue/expenses are reflected as part of Interest revenue, while unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on these derivatives are reflected as part of the Unrealized mark-to-market gains (losses) in Investments-Trading, net line in the Statement of Income.

IBRD also uses derivatives in its loan, borrowing and asset/liability management activities. It also offers derivative intermediation services to clients. In the loan and borrowing portfolios, derivatives are used to modify the interest rate and/or currency characteristics of these portfolios. The interest component of these derivatives is recognized as an adjustment to the related loan revenue and borrowing costs over the life of the derivative contracts and is included in the related Interest revenue/expenses lines in the Statement of Income. Changes in fair values of these derivatives are recorded in the Statement of Income as Unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses in non-trading portfolios, net.

For the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows, IBRD has elected to report the cash flows associated with the derivative instruments that are used to economically hedge its loans, investments and borrowings, in a manner consistent with the presentation of the related loan, investment and borrowing cash flows.

Derivative contracts include currency forward contracts, TBA securities, swaptions, exchange traded options and futures contracts, currency swaps and interest rate swaps. Currency swaps and interest rate swaps are either plain vanilla or structured. Currency forward contracts and plain vanilla currency and interest rate swaps are valued using the discounted cash flow methods using observable market inputs such as yield curves, foreign exchange rates, basis spreads and funding spreads. For structured currency and interest rate swaps, which primarily consist of callable swaps linked to interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and equity indices, valuation models and inputs similar to the ones applicable to structured bond valuations are used. Where applicable, the models also incorporate significant unobservable inputs such as correlations and long-dated interest rate volatilities.

Most outstanding derivative positions are transacted over-the-counter and therefore valued using internally developed valuation models. For commercial and non-commercial counterparties where IBRD has a net receivable position, IBRD calculates a Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA) to reflect credit risk. For net derivative positions with commercial and non-commercial counterparties where IBRD is in a net payable

 

114


Table of Contents

position, IBRD calculates a DVA to reflect its own credit risk. The CVA is calculated using the fair value of the derivative contracts, net of collateral received under credit support agreements, and the probability of counterparty default based on the Credit Default Swaps (CDS) spread and, where applicable, proxy CDS spreads. The DVA calculation is generally consistent with the CVA methodology and incorporates IBRD’s own credit spread as observed through the CDS market.

Valuation of Financial Instruments:    IBRD has an established and documented process for determining fair values. Fair value is based upon quoted market prices for the same or similar securities, where available. Financial instruments for which quoted market prices are not readily available are valued based on discounted cash flow models and other established valuation models. These models primarily use market-based or independently-sourced market parameters such as yield curves, interest rates, volatilities, foreign exchange rates and credit curves, and may incorporate unobservable inputs, some of which may be significant. Selection of these inputs may involve some judgment. In instances where Management relies on instrument valuations supplied by external pricing vendors, there are procedures in place to validate the appropriateness of the models used as well as inputs applied in determining those values. The fair value of certain instruments is calculated using NAV as a practical expedient. To ensure that the valuations are appropriate where internally-developed models are used, IBRD has various controls in place, which include both internal and periodic external verification and review.

Fair Value Hierarchy:    Financial instruments are categorized based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), the next highest priority to observable market-based inputs or inputs that are corroborated by market data (Level 2) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data (Level 3).

Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the Balance Sheet are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:

 

Level 1:

  

Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2:

  

Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or pricing models for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3:

  

Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

IBRD’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out of levels as of the end of the reporting period in which they occur.

Investments measured at NAV (or its equivalent) are not classified in the fair value hierarchy.

Accounting for Grant Expenses:    IBRD recognizes an expense for unconditional grants, such as Contributions to Special Programs and most Board of Governors-approved and other transfers, upon approval. IBRD recognizes an expense for conditional grants when the conditions specified for use by the beneficiaries have been met.

Trust Funds:    To the extent that IBRD acts as an agent for, or controls IBRD-executed trust funds, assets held on behalf of specified beneficiaries are recorded on IBRD’s Balance Sheet, along with corresponding liabilities. Amounts disbursed from these trust funds are recorded as expenses with corresponding amounts recognized as revenues. For Recipient-executed trust funds, since IBRD acts as a trustee, no assets or liabilities relating to these activities are recorded on the Balance Sheet. In some trust funds, execution is split between Recipient-executed and IBRD-executed portions. Decisions on assignment of funding resources between the two types of execution may be made on an ongoing basis, therefore, the execution of a portion of these available resources may not yet be assigned.

IBRD also acts as a financial intermediary to provide specific administrative or financial services with a limited fiduciary or operational role. These arrangements, referred to as Financial Intermediary Funds, include, for example, administration of debt service trust funds, financial intermediation and other more specialized limited fund management roles. For these arrangements, funds are held and disbursed in accordance with instructions from donors or, in some cases, an external governance structure or a body operating on behalf of donors. For Financial Intermediary Funds, since IBRD acts as a trustee, no assets or liabilities relating to these activities are recorded on the Balance Sheet.

Accounting and Reporting Developments

Evaluated Accounting Standards:

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (CECL ASU). The ASU and its subsequent amendments introduce a new model for the accounting of credit losses on loans and other financial assets measured at amortized cost. The CECL model, requires an entity to estimate the credit losses expected over the life of an exposure, considering historical information, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Additionally, the ASUs require enhanced disclosures about credit quality and significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses.

For IBRD, the ASUs became effective on July 1, 2020. The transition adjustment increased retained earnings by $203 million, which reflects the decrease in the expected credit losses relating to loans and other exposures under CECL compared to the previous “incurred loss” model. The impact was mainly driven by the use of implied forward interest rates under CECL compared to historical average interest rates under the previous methodology. Implied forward interest rates had declined to historically low levels in the context of the global pandemic. This impact was partially offset by the inclusion of signed loan commitments in the determination of the provision and the requirement to provision over the full life of IBRD’s long maturity profile credit exposures.

See the table below for details of the CECL transition adjustment as of July 1, 2020. The transition adjustment had no impact on the Statement of Income. See Note D—Loans and Other Exposures and Note G—Retained Earnings, Allocations and Transfers, for additional details.

Accounting standards under evaluation:

In June 2022, FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, which clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and should not be factored in when measuring fair value. The ASU also clarifies that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. The ASU requires certain

disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. For IBRD, the ASU will be effective from the quarter ending September 30, 2024 (fiscal year 2025 for IBRD), with early adoption permitted. IBRD is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU on its financial statements.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, which eliminates the accounting guidance on troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) for creditors and amends the guidance on “vintage disclosures” to require disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination. This ASU is effective from the quarter ending September 30, 2023 (fiscal year 2024 for IBRD), with early adoption permitted. IBRD is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU on its financial statements.

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Disclosure by Business Entities about Government Assistance, which requires entities to make annual disclosure about certain government assistance they received. This ASU is effective for the annual period ending June 30, 2023 for IBRD (annual statements of fiscal year 2023 for IBRD), with early adoption permitted. IBRD is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU on its financial statements.

As of June 30, 2022, IBRD’s investments include the liquid asset portfolio, the Post Employment Benefit Plan (PEBP), the Post Retirement Contribution Reserve Fund (PCRF), and holdings relating to the Local Currency Market Development (LCMD) investments. LCMD investments are sovereign bonds denominated in the local currencies of less developed markets, and funded by borrowings in the same currency with matching volume, payment and maturity characteristics.

Investments held by IBRD are designated as trading and reported at fair value, or at face value, which approximates fair value. As of June 30, 2022, Investments were primarily comprised of government and agency obligations, and time deposits (47% and 48% respectively), with all the instruments classified as Level 1 or Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, 2022, the largest holdings of investments from a single counterparty was U.S. Treasuries (8%).

IBRD uses derivative instruments to manage the associated currency and interest rate risk in the portfolio. For details regarding these instruments, see Note F—Derivative Instruments. After considering the effects of these derivatives, IBRD’s investment portfolio is predominantly denominated in U.S. dollars.

Commercial Credit Risk

For the purpose of risk management, IBRD is party to a variety of financial transactions, certain of which involve elements of credit risk. Credit risk exposure represents the maximum potential loss due to possible non-performance by obligors and counterparties under the terms of the contracts. For all securities, IBRD limits trading to a list of authorized dealers and counterparties. In addition, IBRD may require collateral in connection with resale and swap agreements. The collateral serves to mitigate IBRD’s exposure to credit risk.

Swap Agreements:    Credit risk is mitigated through the application of eligibility criteria and volume limits for transactions with individual counterparties and through the use of mark-to-market collateral arrangements for swap transactions. IBRD may require collateral in the form of cash or other approved liquid securities from individual counterparties in order to mitigate its credit exposure.

IBRD has entered into master derivative agreements, which contain legally enforceable close-out netting provisions. These agreements may further reduce the gross credit risk exposure related to the swaps. Credit risk with financial assets subject to a master derivatives arrangement is further reduced under these agreements to the extent that payments and receipts with the counterparty are netted at settlement. The reduction in exposure as a result of these netting provisions can vary due to the impact of changes in market conditions on existing and new transactions. The extent of the reduction in exposure may, therefore, change substantially within a short period of time following the balance sheet date. For more information on netting and offsetting provisions see note F—Derivative Instruments.

The following is a summary of the collateral received by IBRD related to swap transactions:

Securities Lending:    IBRD may engage in securities lending and repurchases, against adequate collateral, as well as secured borrowing and reverse repurchases (resales) of government and agency obligations, corporate securities, ABS and MBS. These transactions, if any, are conducted under legally enforceable master netting arrangements, which allow IBRD to reduce its gross credit exposure related to these transactions. For balance sheet presentation purposes, IBRD presents its securities lending and repurchases, as well as resales, on a gross basis. As of June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2021, there were no amounts which could potentially be offset as a result of legally enforceable master netting arrangements.

Securities lending and repurchase agreements expose IBRD to several risks, including counterparty risk, reinvestment risk, and risk of a collateral gap (increase or decrease in the fair value of collateral pledged). IBRD has procedures in place to ensure that trading activity and balances under these agreements are below predefined counterparty and maturity limits, and to actively manage net counterparty exposure, after collateral, through daily mark-to-market. Whenever the collateral pledged by IBRD related to its borrowings under repurchase agreements and securities lending agreements declines in value, the transaction is re-priced as appropriate by returning cash or pledging additional collateral.

Table of Contents

Transfers of securities by IBRD to counterparties are not accounted for as sales as the accounting criteria for the treatment as a sale have not been met. Counterparties are permitted to repledge these securities until the repurchase date.

As of June 30, 2022, liabilities relating to securities transferred under repurchase or securities lending agreements amounted to $37 million ($25 million—June 30, 2021) and there were no unsettled trades relating to repurchase or securities lending agreements. There were no replacement trades entered into in anticipation of maturing trades of a similar amount (Nil—June 30, 2021). As of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, the remaining contractual maturities of these agreements were overnight and continuous. The securities transferred were mainly comprised of government and agency obligations and equity securities.

In the case of resale agreements, IBRD receives collateral in the form of liquid securities and is permitted to repledge these securities. While these transactions are legally considered to be true purchases and sales, the securities received are not recorded on IBRD’s Balance Sheet as the accounting criteria for treatment as a sale have not been met. As of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, there were no unsettled trades pertaining to securities purchased under resale agreements. For resale agreements, IBRD received securities with a fair value of $38 million ($340 million—June 30, 2021). As of June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2021, none of these securities had been transfered.

NOTE D—LOANS AND OTHER EXPOSURES

IBRD’s loans and other exposures (collectively “exposures”) are generally made to, or guaranteed by, member countries of IBRD. In addition, IBRD may also make loans to the IFC, an affiliated organization, without any guarantee. As of June 30, 2022, all IBRD’s loans were reported at amortized cost.

IBRD’s loan portfolio includes loans with multicurrency terms, variable spread terms and fixed spread terms. At June 30, 2022, only loans with variable spread terms (including special development policy loans), were available for new commitments. Effective April 1, 2021, IBRD suspended the offering of loans on fixed spread terms.

As of June 30, 2022, 86% of IBRD’s loans carried variable interest rates. IBRD uses derivative instruments to manage the currency risk as well as repricing risk between its loans and borrowings. After the effects of these derivatives, the entire loan portfolio carried variable interest rates, with a weighted average interest rate of 1.92% as of June 30, 2022 (0.84%—June 30, 2021). For details regarding derivatives used in the loan portfolio see Note F—Derivative Instruments.

The majority of IBRD’s loans outstanding are denominated in U.S. dollars (80%) and euro (18%).

IBRD excludes the interest receivable balance from the amortized cost basis and from the related disclosures as permitted by U.S. GAAP. As of June 30, 2022, accrued interest receivable on loans of $1,029 million is included in Other Receivables—Accrued income on loans in the Balance Sheet ($668 million—June 30, 2021).

As of June 30, 2022, 0.2% of IBRD’s loans were in nonaccrual status and related to one borrower. The total accumulated provision for losses on loans was 0.8% of the total loan portfolio. Based on IBRD’s internal credit quality indicators, the majority of loans outstanding are in the medium-risk or high-risk classes.

Credit Quality of Sovereign Exposures

Based on an evaluation of IBRD’s exposures, management has determined that IBRD has one portfolio segment—Sovereign Exposures. IBRD’s loans constitute the majority of the Sovereign Exposures portfolio segment.

IBRD’s country risk ratings are an assessment of its borrowers’ ability and willingness to repay IBRD on time and in full. These ratings are internal credit quality indicators. Individual country risk ratings are derived on the basis of both quantitative and qualitative analysis. The components considered in the analysis can be grouped broadly into eight categories: political risk, external debt and liquidity, fiscal policy and public debt burden, balance of payments risks, economic structure and growth prospects, monetary and exchange rate policy, financial sector risks, and corporate sector debt and vulnerabilities. The analysis also takes into account Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors. For the purpose of analyzing the risk characteristics of

Table of Contents

IBRD’s exposures, these exposures are grouped into three classes in accordance with assigned borrower risk ratings, which relate to the likelihood of loss: Low, Medium and High-risk classes, as well as exposures in nonaccrual status.

IBRD’s borrowers’ country risk ratings are key determinants in the provision for losses. Country risk ratings are grouped in pools of borrowers with similar credit ratings for the purpose of the calculation of the expected credit losses. Country risk ratings are determined in review meetings that take place several times a year. All countries are reviewed at least once a year, or more frequently, if circumstances warrant, to determine the appropriate ratings.

An assessment was also performed to determine whether a qualitative adjustment of the loan loss provision was needed as of June 30, 2022, including consideration of the COVID-19 pandemic and other global events. Management concluded that a qualitative adjustment beyond the regular application of IBRD’s loan loss provision framework was not warranted.

Accumulated Provision for Losses on Loans and Other Exposures

Management determines the appropriate level of accumulated provision for losses, which reflects the expected losses inherent in IBRD’s exposures.

The balance of the accumulated provision as of July 1, 2020, decreased by the $214 million transition adjustment recorded upon the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (ASC 326). The transition adjustment corresponds to the difference between the accumulated provision calculated under the “incurred loss” model and the current expected credit loss (CECL) model.

Overdue Amounts

IBRD considers loans to be past due when a borrower fails to make payment on any principal, interest or other charges due to IBRD on the dates provided in the contractual loan agreement.

At June 30, 2022, there were no principal or interest amounts on loans in accrual status, which were overdue by more than three months.

Zimbabwe is the only borrowing member with loans or guarantees in nonaccrual status and has been in nonaccrual status since October 2000.

The following tables provide a summary of selected financial information related to loans in nonaccrual status as of and for the stated fiscal years:

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, no loans were placed into nonaccrual status or restored to accrual status.

In addition, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, less than $1 million interest revenue was recognized on loans in nonaccrual status (less than $1 million—June 30, 2021 and less than $1 million—June 30, 2020).

Guarantees

Guarantees of $6,379 million were outstanding at June 30, 2022 ($6,705 million—June 30, 2021). This amount represents the maximum potential amount of undiscounted future payments that IBRD could be required to make under these guarantees, and is not included in the Balance Sheet. These guarantees have original maturities ranging between 10 and 21 years, and expire in decreasing amounts through 2042.

At June 30, 2022, liabilities related to IBRD’s obligations under guarantees included the obligation to stand ready of $298 million ($347 million—June 30, 2021), and the accumulated provision for guarantee losses of $59 million ($50 million—June 30, 2021).

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, no guarantees provided by IBRD were called.

IBRD participates in Exposure Exchange Agreements (EEA) which are recognized as financial guarantees in the financial statements. Information on the location and amounts associated with the EEAs executed with Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), African Development Bank (AfDB) and Inter-American Development Bank (IADB) included on the Balance Sheet and in the Statement of Income is presented in the following table:

Waivers of Loan Charges

IBRD provides waivers on eligible loans, which include a portion of interest on loans, a portion of the commitment charge on undisbursed balances and a portion of the front-end fee charged on all eligible loans. Waivers are approved annually by the Executive Directors of IBRD. As part of the COVID-19 Strategic Preparedness and Response Program (SPRP), the Executive Directors of IBRD approved the waiver of commitment/standby fees for health-related COVID-19 operations payable during the first year of each financing and a reduced front-end fee of 25 bps for CAT DDOs approved under the Fast-Track COVID-19 Facility. Such waivers/reductions are available for financing approved on or prior to March 31, 2021. The Executive Directors also approved the waiver of commitment fees for COVID-19 vaccine related projects under the Additional Financing to the COVID-19 SPRP for the first 18 months, starting from the date of approval of financing for each project. Such waivers being available for financing approved on or prior to October 1, 2022.

NOTE E—BORROWINGS

IBRD issues unsubordinated and unsecured fixed and variable rate debt in a variety of currencies. Variable rates are primarily based on exchange rates or market interest rates.

Borrowings issued by IBRD are reported at fair value. As of June 30, 2022, 98% of the instruments in the portfolio were classified as Level 2, within the fair value hierarchy. In addition, most of these instruments were denominated in U.S. dollars and euro (64% and 12%, respectively).

IBRD uses derivative contracts, reported at fair value, to manage the currency risk and the interest rate risk between its loans and borrowings. For details regarding the derivatives used, see Note F—Derivative Instruments. After the effect of these derivatives, the entire borrowing portfolio carried variable interest rates, with a weighted average cost of 1.04% as of June 30, 2022 (0.12% as of June 30, 2021).

Table of Contents

The derivatives in the related tables of Note F are presented on a net basis by instrument. A reconciliation to the Balance Sheet presentation is shown in table F1.

Offsetting assets and liabilities

IBRD enters into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) master netting agreements with substantially all of its derivative counterparties. These legally enforceable master netting agreements give IBRD the right to liquidate securities held as collateral and to offset receivables and payables with the same counterparty, in the event of default by the counterparty.

The following tables summarize the gross and net derivative positions by instrument type. Instruments that are in a net asset position are included in the Derivative Assets columns and instruments that are in a net liability position are included in the Derivative Liabilities columns. The gross columns represent the fair value of the instrument leg that is in an asset or liability position that are then netted with the other leg of the instrument in the gross offset columns. The effects of the ISDA master netting agreements are applied on a aggregate basis to the total derivative asset and liability positions and are presented net of any cash collateral received on the Balance Sheet. The net derivative asset positions in the tables below have been further reduced by any securities received as collateral to disclose IBRD’s net exposure on its derivative asset positions.

Excludes exchange traded instruments as they are generally subject to daily margin requirements and are deemed to have no material credit risk.

The volume of derivative contracts is measured using the U.S. dollar equivalent notional balance. The notional balance represents the face value, or reference value, on which the calculations of payments on the derivative instruments are determined. At June 30, 2022, the notional amounts of IBRD’s derivative contracts outstanding were as follows: interest rate contracts $433,539 million ($452,450 million at June 30, 2021), currency swaps $117,856 million ($136,467 million at June 30, 2021), long positions of other derivatives $185 million ($186 million at June 30, 2021), and short positions of other derivatives $143 million ($75 million at June 30, 2021).

IBRD is not required to post collateral under its derivative agreements as long as it maintains a triple-A credit rating. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk related contingent features that were in a liability position as of June 30, 2022 was $20,203 million ($1,078 million—June 30, 2021). IBRD has not posted any collateral with these counterparties due to its triple-A credit rating.

If the credit-risk related contingent features underlying these agreements were triggered to the extent that IBRD would be required to post collateral as of June 30, 2022, the amount of collateral that would need to be posted would be $16,141 million ($209 million—June 30, 2021). Subsequent triggers of contingent features would require posting of additional collateral, up to a maximum of $20,203 million as of June 30, 2022 ($1,078 million—June 30, 2021). In contrast, IBRD received collateral totaling $591 million as of June 30, 2022 ($4,391 million—June 30, 2021) in relation to swap transactions (see Note C—Investments).

Table of Contents

On August 5, 2021, IBRD’s Executive Directors approved the following adjustments and allocations relating to the net income earned in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, to arrive at allocable income for that fiscal year:

 

   

$1,218 million increase in the Cumulative Fair Value Adjustments, for the Unrealized mark-to-market gain on non-trading portfolios (this excludes realized amounts).

 

   

Add back $411 million related to Board of Governors-approved transfers approved in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, to reported Net Income to arrive at allocable income. These transfers relate to income earned in prior fiscal years.

 

   

$874 million increase in the General Reserve.

 

   

$38 million decrease in the Pension Reserve.

 

   

$35 million increase in Other reserves, for net non-functional currency translation adjustment.

 

   

$12 million decrease in Restricted Retained Earnings

On August 5, 2021, IBRD’s Executive Directors also approved a one-time transfer of $203 million from Other reserves to the General Reserve, which represents the cumulative effect of adopting ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) on July 1, 2020.

On August 4, 2021, IBRD’s Board of Governors approved a transfer of $20 million from Surplus to the IBRD Fund for Innovative Global Public Goods Solutions (GPG Fund). The transfer was made on August 12, 2021, resulting in a reduction in Surplus and an increase in Other reserves. These funds will be expensed, and Other reserves reduced, when utilized by the GPG Fund. As of June 30, 2022, no funds have been utilized out of the cumulative transfers of $85 million and therefore, no expense has been recognized in the Statement of Income.

On October 14, 2021, IBRD’s Board of Governors approved a transfer to IDA of $274 million and a transfer of $100 million to Surplus out of the net income earned in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. The transfer to IDA was made on October 25, 2021.

Loans and Other Exposures

IBRD has a Local Currency Loan Facility Agreement with IFC, which is capped at $300 million. As of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, there were no loans outstanding under this facility.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, IBRD entered into an exposure exchange agreement with MIGA under which IBRD and MIGA exchange selected exposures, with each divesting exposure in countries where their lending capacities are limited, in return for exposure in countries where they have excess lending capacity. Under the agreement, IBRD and MIGA have each exchanged $120 million of notional exposure as follows: MIGA assumes IBRD’s loan principal and interest exposure in exchange for IBRD’s assumption of principal and interest exposure of MIGA under its Non-Honoring of Sovereign Financial Obligation agreement. As of June 30, 2022, assets related to IBRD’s right to be indemnified under this agreement amounted to $1 million ($1 million—June 30, 2021), while liabilities related to IBRD’s obligation under this agreement amounted to $1 million ($1 million—June 30, 2021). These include an accumulated provision for guarantee losses of less than $1 million as of June 30, 2022 (less than $1 million—June 30, 2021).

Administrative Services

Expenses jointly incurred by IBRD and IDA are allocated based on an agreed cost-sharing methodology, and amounts are settled quarterly. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, IBRD’s administrative expenses are net of the share of expenses allocated to IDA of $1,644 million ($1,873 million—fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, and $1,824 million—fiscal year ended June 30, 2020).

Revenue

Revenue jointly earned by IBRD and IDA is allocated based on an agreed revenue-sharing methodology, and amounts are settled quarterly. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, IBRD’s other revenue is net of revenue allocated to IDA of $252 million ($261 million—fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, and $316 million—fiscal year ended June 30, 2020), and is included in Revenue from externally funded activities in the Statement of Income.

This revenue also includes revenue from contracts with clients, who are not affiliated with IBRD as follows:

Each revenue stream represents compensation for services provided and the related revenue is recognized over time.

IBRD’s rights to consideration are deemed unconditional and are classified as receivables. IBRD also has an obligation to provide certain services for which it has received consideration in advance. Such considerations are presented as contract liabilities and are subsequently recognized as revenue, when the related performance obligation is satisfied.

The following table shows IBRD’s receivables and contract liabilities related to revenue from contracts with clients:

IBRD, alone or jointly with one or more of its affiliated organizations, administers on behalf of donors, including members, their agencies and other entities, funds restricted for specific uses in accordance with administration agreements with donors. Specified uses could include co-financing of IBRD lending projects, debt reduction operations, technical assistance including feasibility studies and project preparation, global and regional programs, and research and training programs. These funds are held in trust with IBRD and/or IDA, and are held in a separate investment portfolio which is not commingled with IBRD and/or IDA funds.

Trust fund execution may be carried out in one of two ways: Recipient-executed or IBRD-executed.

Recipient-executed trust funds involve activities carried out by a recipient third-party executing agency. IBRD enters into agreements with and disburses funds to those recipients, who then exercise spending authority to meet the objectives and comply with terms stipulated in the agreements.

IBRD-executed trust funds involve IBRD execution of activities as described in relevant administration agreements with donors, which define the terms and conditions for use of the funds. Spending authority is exercised by IBRD, under the terms of the administration agreements. The executing agency services provided by IBRD vary and include for example, activity preparation, analytical and advisory activities and project-related activities, including procurement of goods and services.

The following table summarizes the expenses pertaining to IBRD-executed trust funds:

Revenue collected from donor contributions for trust fund administation fees, but not yet earned by IBRD totaling $88 million at June 30, 2022 ($95 million—June 30, 2021) is included in Other assets—Miscellaneous and in Other liabilities—Accounts payable and miscellaneous liabilities, respectively, on the Balance Sheet.

Investment Management Services

IBRD offers treasury and investment management services to affiliated and non-affiliated organizations.

In addition, IBRD offers asset management and technical advisory services to central banks of member countries, under the Reserves Advisory and Management Partnership, for capacity building and other development purposes, and receives a fee for these services.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, IBRD’s fee revenue from investment management activities totaled $18 million ($19 million—June 30, 2021 and $17 million—June 30, 2020) and is included in Revenue from externally funded activities in the Statement of Income.

NOTE J—PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

IBRD, IFC and MIGA participate in the defined benefit Staff Retirement Plan (SRP), a Retired Staff Benefits Plan (RSBP) and PEBP (collectively “the Plans”) that cover substantially all of their staff members.

The SRP provides pension benefits and includes a cash balance plan. The RSBP provides certain health and life insurance benefits to eligible retirees. The PEBP provides certain pension benefits administered outside the SRP.

IBRD uses a June 30th measurement date for its pension and other postretirement benefit plans.

All costs, assets and liabilities associated with these Plans are allocated between IBRD, IFC, and MIGA based upon their employees’ respective participation in the Plans. Costs allocated to IBRD are then shared between IBRD and IDA based on an agreed cost-sharing methodology. IDA, IFC and MIGA reimburse IBRD for their proportionate share of any contributions made to these plans by IBRD. Contributions to the Plans are calculated as a percentage of salary.

Assumptions

The actuarial assumptions used are based on financial market interest rates, inflation expectations, past experience, and Management’s best estimate of future benefit changes and economic conditions. Changes in these assumptions will impact future benefit costs and obligations.

The expected long-term rate of return for the SRP assets is a weighted average of the expected long-term (10 years or more) returns for the various asset classes, weighted by the portfolio allocation. Asset class returns are developed using a forward-looking building block approach and are not strictly based on historical returns. Equity returns are generally developed as the sum of expected inflation, expected real earnings growth and expected long-term dividend yield. Bond returns are generally developed as the sum of expected inflation, real bond yield, duration-adjusted change in yields and risk premium/spread (as appropriate). Other asset class returns are derived from their relationship to equity and bond markets. The expected long-term rate of return for the RSBP is computed using procedures similar to those used for the SRP. The discount rate used in determining the benefit obligation is selected by reference to the year-end yield of AA corporate bonds.

Actuarial gains and losses occur when actual results are different from expected results. Amortization of these unrecognized gains and losses will be included in income if, at the beginning of the fiscal year, they exceed 10 percent of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the market-related value of plan assets. If required, the unrecognized gains and losses are amortized over the expected average remaining service lives of the employee group.

The medical cost trend rate can significantly affect the reported postretirement benefit income or costs and benefit obligations for the RSBP. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the actuarial gains were primarily due to an increase in the discount rates. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, the actuarial losses were primarily the result of a decrease in the real discount rates, whereas the nominal discount rates increased due to an increase in expected inflation.

Investment Strategy

The investment policies establish the framework for investment of the plan assets based on long-term investment objectives and the trade-offs inherent in seeking adequate investment returns within acceptable risk parameters. A key component of the investment policy is to establish a Strategic Asset Allocation (SAA) representing the policy portfolio (i.e., policy mix of assets) around which the SRP and RSBP (the Plans) are invested. The SAA is derived using a mix of quantitative analysis that incorporates expected returns and volatilities by asset class as well as correlations across the asset classes, and qualitative considerations such as the liquidity needs of the Plans. The SAA for the Plans is reviewed in detail and reset about every three to five years, with more frequent reviews and changes if and as needed based on market conditions.

The key long-term objective is to generate asset performance that is reasonable in relation to the growth rate of the underlying liabilities and the assumed sponsor contribution rates, without taking undue risks. Given the relatively long investment horizons of the SRP and RSBP, and the relatively modest liquidity needs over the short-term to pay benefits and meet other cash requirements, the focus of the investment strategy is on generating sustainable long-term investment returns through a globally diversified set of strategies including fixed income, public and private equity, and real assets. In the first half of the fiscal year 2021, following the onset of the global pandemic, the Pension Finance Committee (PFC) re-assessed the assumptions underlying the SAA and reaffirmed the appropriateness of the Long-Term Real Return Objective within the current risk tolerance

parameters. The review of the SAA was completed and approved in April 2021 with an effective date of June 1, 2021. The new SAAs slightly reduced the Fixed Income and Cash policy allocation from 23 percent to 20 percent and increased the policy allocation to Credit Strategy and Market Neutral Hedge Funds by one and two percent, respectively. More recently, in April 2022 the PFC approved a revision to the SAA band around the target allocation for private equity from +/-3 percent to +/-5 percent with the effective date of May 1, 2022. The changes do not materially alter the risk profile of the portfolio but are expected to slightly increase the efficiency of the allocation.

Significant Concentrations of Risk in Plan Assets

The assets of the SRP and RSBP are diversified across a variety of asset classes. Investments in these asset classes are further diversified across funds, managers, strategies, geographies and sectors, to limit the impact of any individual investment. In spite of such level of diversification, equity market risk remains the primary source of the overall return volatility of the Plans. As of June 30, 2022, the largest exposure to a single counterparty was 7% and 6% of the plan assets in SRP and RSBP, respectively (8% and 6%, respectively—June 30, 2021).

Risk Management Practices

Managing investment risk is an integral part of managing the assets of the Plans. Asset diversification is central to the overall investment strategy and risk management approach for the Plans. Absolute risk indicators such as the overall return volatility and drawdown of the Plans are the primary measures used to define the risk tolerance level and establish the overall level of investment risk. In addition, the level of active risk (defined as the annualized standard deviation of portfolio returns relative to those of the policy portfolio) is closely monitored and managed on an ongoing basis.

Market risk is regularly monitored at the absolute level, as well as at the relative levels with respect to the investment policy, manager benchmarks, and liabilities of the Plans. Stress tests are performed periodically using relevant market scenarios to assess the impact of extreme market events.

Monitoring of performance (at both manager and asset class levels) against benchmarks, and compliance with investment guidelines, are carried out on a regular basis, which provides helpful information for assessing the impact on the portfolios caused by market risk factors. Risk management for different asset classes is tailored to their specific characteristics and is an integral part of the external managers’ due diligence and monitoring processes.

Table of Contents

Credit risk is monitored on a regular basis and assessed for possible credit event impacts. The liquidity position of the Plans is analyzed at regular intervals and periodically tested using various stress scenarios to ensure that the Plans have sufficient liquidity to meet all cash flow requirements. In addition, the long-term cash flow needs of the Plans are considered during the SAA exercise and are one of the main drivers in determining maximum allocation to the illiquid investment vehicles. The Plans mitigate operational risk by maintaining a system of internal controls along with other checks and balances at various levels.

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

All plan assets are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The following table presents the fair value hierarchy of major categories of plan assets:

Valuation Methods and Assumptions

The following are general descriptions of asset categories, as well as the valuation methodologies and inputs used to determine the fair value of each major category of Plan assets. It is important to note that the investment amounts in the asset categories shown in the table above may be different from the asset category allocation shown in the Investment Strategy section of the note. Asset classes in the table above are grouped by the characteristics of the investments held. The asset class break-down in the Investment Strategy section is based on Management’s view of the economic exposures after considering the impact of derivatives and certain trading strategies.

Debt securities

Debt securities include discount notes, securities purchased under resale agreements, U.S. treasuries and agencies, debt obligations of foreign governments, sub-sovereigns and debt obligations in corporations of domestic and foreign issuers. Debt securities also includes investments in ABS such as collateralized mortgage

Table of Contents

obligations and MBS. These securities are valued by independent pricing vendors at quoted market prices for the same or similar securities, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on discounted cash flow models using market-based parameters such as yield curves, interest rates, volatilities, foreign exchange rates and credit curves. Some debt securities are valued using techniques which require significant unobservable inputs. The selection of these inputs may involve some judgment. Management believes its estimates of fair value are reasonable given its processes for obtaining securities prices from multiple independent third-party vendors, ensuring that valuation models are reviewed and validated, and applying its approach consistently from period to period. Unless quoted prices are available, money market instruments and securities purchased under resale agreements are reported at face value which approximates fair value.

Equity securities

Equity securities (including REITs) represent investments in companies in various industries and countries. Investments in public equity listed on securities exchanges are valued at the last reported sale price on the last business day of the fiscal year.

Commingled funds

Commingled funds are typically collective investment vehicles, such as trusts that are reported at NAV as provided by the investment manager or sponsor of the fund based on the valuation of underlying investments.

Private equity funds

Private equity funds include investments primarily in leveraged buyouts, growth capital, distressed investments and venture capital funds across North America, Europe and Asia in a variety of sectors. Many of these funds are in the investment phase of their life cycle. Private Equity investments do not have a readily determinable fair market value and are reported at NAV provided by the fund managers, taking into consideration the latest audited financial statements of the funds.

Private credit funds

Private credit funds include investments primarily in direct lending and opportunistic credit funds. Direct lending funds provide private financing to performing medium-size companies primarily owned by private equity sponsors. Opportunistic credit strategies (including distressed debt and multi-strategy funds) have flexible mandates to invest across both public and private markets globally. Private credit investments do not have a readily determinable fair market value and are reported at NAV provided by the fund managers, taking into consideration the latest audited financial statements of the funds.

Real estate funds (including infrastructure)

Real estate funds include investments in core real estate, non-core real estate investments (such as debt, value add, and opportunistic equity investments) and infrastructure. Real estate investments do not have a readily determinable fair market value and are reported at NAV provided by the fund managers, taking into consideration the latest audited financial statements of the funds.

Hedge funds

Hedge fund investments include those seeking to maximize absolute returns using a broad range of strategies to enhance returns and provide additional diversification. Hedge Funds include investments in equity, event driven, fixed income, multi strategy and macro relative value strategies. These investments do not have a readily determinable fair market value and are reported at NAV provided by external managers or fund administrators (based on the valuations of underlying investments) monthly, taking into consideration the latest audited financial statements of the funds.

Table of Contents

Investments in hedge funds and commingled funds can typically be redeemed at NAV within the near term while investments in private equity and most real estate are inherently long term and illiquid in nature with a quarter lag in reporting by the fund managers. Since the reporting of those asset classes is done with a lag, management estimates are based on the latest available information considering underlying market fundamentals and significant events through the balance sheet date.

Investment in derivatives

Investment in derivatives such as equity or bond futures, TBA securities, swaps, options and currency forwards are used to achieve a variety of objectives that include hedging interest rates and currency risks, gaining desired market exposure of a security, an index or currency exposure and rebalancing the portfolio. Over-the-counter derivatives are reported using valuations based on discounted cash flow methods incorporating observable market inputs.

Estimated Future Benefit Payments

The following table shows the benefit payments expected to be paid in each of the next five years and subsequent five years. The expected benefit payments are based on the same assumptions used to measure the benefit obligation:

Expected Contributions

IBRD’s contribution to the SRP and RSBP varies from year to year, as determined by the PFC, which bases its judgment on the results of annual actuarial valuations of the assets and liabilities of the SRP and RSBP. The best estimate of the amount of contributions expected to be paid to the SRP and RSBP by IBRD and IDA during the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2022 is $139 million and $37 million, respectively.

NOTE K—ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive income consists of net income and other gains and losses affecting equity that, under U.S. GAAP, are excluded from net income. Other comprehensive income (loss) comprises currency translation adjustments on assets and liabilities denominated in euro; DVA on fair value elected liabilities; the cumulative effects of a change in accounting principle related to the implementation of U.S. GAAP requirements; and pension-related items. These items are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

NOTE L—FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

Valuation Methods and Assumptions

As of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, IBRD had no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Due from Banks

The carrying amount of unrestricted and restricted currencies is considered a reasonable estimate of the fair value of these positions.

Loans and Loan commitments

There were no loans carried at fair value as of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021. IBRD’s loans and loan commitments would be classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

Summarized below are the techniques applied in determining the fair values of IBRD’s financial instruments.

Investment securities

Investment securities are classified based on management’s intention on the date of purchase, their nature, and IBRD’s policies governing the level and use of such investments. As of June 30, 2022, all of the financial instruments in IBRD’s investment portfolio were classified as trading. These securities are carried and reported at fair value, or at face value or NAV, which approximates fair value. Where available, quoted market prices are used to determine the fair value of trading securities. Examples include most government and agency securities, mutual funds, exchange-traded equity securities and ABS securities.

For instruments for which market quotations are not available, fair values are determined using model-based valuation techniques, whether internally-generated or vendor-supplied, that include the standard discounted cash flow method using observable market inputs such as yield curves, credit spreads, and conditional prepayment rates. Where applicable, unobservable inputs such as conditional prepayment rates, probability of default and loss severity are used. Unless quoted prices are available, time deposits are reported at face value, which approximates fair value, as they are short term in nature.

Securities purchased under resale agreements, Securities sold under repurchase agreements, and Securities lent under securities lending agreements

These securities are of a short-term nature and reported at face value, which approximates fair value.

Discount notes and vanilla bonds

Discount notes and vanilla bonds issued by IBRD are valued using the standard discounted cash flow method which relies on observable market inputs such as yield curves, foreign exchange rates, basis spreads and funding spreads. Where available, quoted market prices are used to determine the fair value of short-term notes.

Structured bonds

Structured bonds issued by IBRD have coupon or repayment terms linked to the level or the performance of interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity indices, catastrophic events or commodities. The fair value of the structured bonds is generally derived using the discounted cash flow method based on estimated future pay-offs determined by applicable models and computation of embedded optionality such as caps, floors and calls. A wide range of industry standard models such as one factor Hull-White, LIBOR Market Model and Black-Scholes are used depending on the specific structure. These models incorporate observable market inputs, such as yield curves, foreign exchange rates, basis spreads, funding spreads, interest rate volatilities, equity index volatilities

 

152


Table of Contents

and equity indices. Where applicable, the models also incorporate significant unobservable inputs such as correlations and long-dated interest rate volatilities. Generally, the movements in correlations are considered to be independent of movements in long-dated interest rate volatilities.

Derivative instruments

Derivative contracts include currency forward contracts, TBA securities, swaptions, exchange traded options and futures contracts, currency swaps and interest rate swaps. Currency swaps and interest rate swaps are either plain vanilla or structured. Currency forward contracts and plain vanilla currency and interest rate swaps are valued using the standard discounted cash flow methods using observable market inputs such as yield curves, foreign exchange rates, basis spreads and funding spreads. For structured currency and interest rate swaps, which primarily consist of callable swaps linked to interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and equity indices, valuation models and inputs similar to the ones applicable to structured bonds valuation are used. Where applicable, the models also incorporate significant unobservable inputs such as correlations and long-dated interest rate volatilities.

Valuation adjustments on fair value option elected liabilities

The DVA on fair value option elected liabilities is measured by revaluing each liability to determine the changes in fair value of that liability arising from changes in IBRD’s funding spread applicable to the relevant reference rate.

The table below presents IBRD’s estimates of fair value of its financial assets and liabilities along with their respective carrying amounts:

IBRD’s Level 3 borrowings primarily relate to structured bonds. The fair value of these bonds is estimated using discounted cash flow valuation models that incorporate model parameters, observable market inputs, and unobservable inputs. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of structured bonds and swaps are correlations and long-dated market interest rate volatilities. Generally, the movements in correlations are considered to be independent of the movements in long-dated interest rate volatilities.

Correlation is the statistical measurement of the relationship between two variables. For contracts where the holder benefits from the convergence of the underlying index prices (e.g., interest rates and foreign exchange rates), an increase in correlation generally results in an increase in the fair value of the instrument. The magnitude and direction of the fair value adjustment will depend on whether the holder is short or long the option.

Interest rate volatility is the extent to which the level of interest rates changes over time. For purchased options, an increase in volatility will generally result in an increase in the fair value. In general, the volatility used to price the option depends on the maturity of the underlying instrument and the option strike price. In the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2021, the interest rate volatilities for certain currencies were extrapolated for certain tenors and, thus, are considered an unobservable input.

In certain instances, particularly for instruments with coupon or repayment terms linked to catastrophic events, management relies on instrument valuations supplied by external pricing vendors.

The following table provides a summary of the valuation technique applied in determining fair values of these Level 3 instruments and quantitative information regarding the significant unobservable inputs used. Level 3 instruments represent 2% of IBRD’s borrowings.

NOTE M—CONTINGENCIES

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, IBRD faces additional credit, market and operational risks. The length and severity of the pandemic and the related developments, as well as the impact on the financial results and position of IBRD in future periods cannot be reasonably estimated at this point in time and continues to evolve. IBRD continues to monitor the developments and to manage the risks associated with its various portfolios within existing financial policies and limits.

From time to time, IBRD may be named as a defendant or co-defendant in legal actions on different grounds in various jurisdictions. The outcome of any existing legal action, in which IBRD has been named as a defendant or co-defendant, as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on IBRD’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
