Under the Global Debt Issuance Facility described in this Prospectus (the "Facility"), International Bank for
Reconstruction and Development ("IBRD"), subject to compliance with all relevant laws, regulations and directives,
may from time to time issue notes with maturities of one day or longer from the date of the original issue (the
"Notes") in an unlimited aggregate nominal amount. Notes will be sold through one or more Dealers appointed by
IBRD, or directly by IBRD itself.
Application has been made for Notes issued under the Facility to be admitted to the official list of the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange (the "Official List") and to trading on the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange. References in this Prospectus to Notes being "listed" (and all related references) shall mean that such
Notes have been admitted to the Official List and admitted to trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's
regulated market. The Facility provides that Notes may be listed on such other or further stock exchange(s) as may
be agreed between IBRD and the relevant Dealer(s) in relation to each issue. Unlisted Notes may also be issued
pursuant to the Facility. The applicable Final Terms in respect of the issue of any Notes will specify whether and on
which exchange such Notes will be listed or whether such Notes will be unlisted. This Prospectus replaces the
prosp
u
ect s dated October 7, 1997 in relation to the Facility, except in relation to Notes issued prior to the date
hereof.
Notes of any particular issue will be in registered form, bookentry form or bearer form, as specified in the
applicable Final Terms. Notes in bearer form may not be offered, sold or delivered within the United States or to
U.S. persons as part of h
t eir primary distribution. Notes will be issued in the denominations specified in the
applicable Final Terms.
Each particular issue of Notes will initially be represented by a global note or global certificate or, in the case
of Notes cleared and settled through the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, by uncertificated bookentry notes.
Global Notes may be issued in new global note form if they are intended to be eligible collateral for Eurosystem
monetary policy, or in classic global note form.
The Facility has been rated AAA by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw Hill
Companies, Inc. and Aaa by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell
or hold securities and may be subject to suspension, reduction or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating
agency.

i vestors should have regard to the factors described under the section headed "Risk Factors" in
this Prospectus.

under "Availability of Information and Incorporation by Reference") is true and accurate in all material

contained in this Prospectus and the applicable Final Terms in connection with the offering or sale of the
Notes and, if given or made, such information or representation must not be relied upon as having been
authorized by IBRD or any Dealer (as defined in "Summary and Overview of the Facility"). Neither the

named as the stabilizing manager(s) (the "Stabilizing Manager(s)") (or persons acting on behalf of any

view to supporting the market price of the Notes at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail.

Manager) will undertake stabilization action. Any stabilization action may begin on or after the date on
2

be ended at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 days after the issue date of the relevant
Tranche and 60 days after the date of the allotment of the relevant Tranche. Any stabilization action or over-

SUMMARY AND OVERVIEW OF THE FACILITY
This summary must be read as an introduction to this Prospectus. Any decision to invest in any Notes
should be based on a consideration of this Prospectus as a whole, including the documents incorporated by
reference, by any investor. Words and expressions defined or used in "Terms and Conditions of the Notes"
shall have the same meaning in this Summary.
IBRD
The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development is an international organization
established in 1945 and owned by 185 member countries. As a global development cooperative, IBRD's
purpose is to help its members achieve equitable and sustainable growth in their economies and find
solutions to pressing regional and global problems in economic development and environmental
sustainability, all with a view to reducing poverty and improving standards of living. It pursues these goals
by providing financing, risk management products, and other financial services, specialized expertise and
strategic and convening services as requested by its member countries.
IBRD's principal office is located at The World Bank, 1818 H Street, NW, Washington, DC 20433
USA.
The financial strength of IBRD is reflected in the capital backing it has received from its members and
in the record of its member country borrowers in meeting their debt service obligations to IBRD. IBRD's
financial policies and practices have led it to build reserves, to diversify its funding sources, to hold a large
portfolio of liquid investments and to limit market and credit risk. IBRD has achieved consistent
profitability, earning profits every year since 1948.
