PROSPECTUS

International Bank for Reconstruction
and Development
Global Debt Issuance Facility
for issues of Notes with maturities of one day or longer
Under the Global Debt Issuance Facility (the "Facility") described in this Prospectus (as defined in "Availability of
Information and Incorporation by Reference"), 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 (as defined in "Plan of Distribution") appointed by IBRD, or directly by IBRD itself.
This Prospectus is not a prospectus for the purposes of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the "Prospectus Regulation") and has
not been reviewed or approved by any competent authority under the Prospectus Regulation. This Prospectus is not a prospectus
for the purposes of the Prospectus Regulation as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal)
Act 2018 (the "EUWA") (the "UK Prospectus Regulation") and has not been approved by the competent authority within the
meaning of the UK Prospectus Regulation. 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. This Prospectus
constitutes a voluntary alleviated base prospectus for the purpose of Part III of the Luxembourg law dated 16 July 2019 on
Prospectuses for Securities. 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 prospectus dated May 28, 2008 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 their
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 (the "Global Note") or global certificate (the
"Global Certificate") or, in the case of Notes cleared and settled through the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, by uncertificated
bookentry notes. If the Global Notes are stated in the applicable Final Terms to be issued in new global note ("NGN") form, the
Global Notes will be delivered on or prior to the issue date of the relevant Tranche (as defined in "Summary and Overview of the
Facility") to a common safekeeper (the "Common Safekeeper") for Euroclear Bank SA/NV ("Euroclear") and Clearstream
Banking, SA ("Clearstream, Luxembourg"). If a Global Certificate is held under the New Safekeeping Structure (the "NSS"), the
Global Certificate will be delivered on or prior to the issue date of the relevant Tranche to a Common Safekeeper for Euroclear
and Clearstream, Luxembourg. Global Notes which are not issued in NGN form ("CGN") and Global Certificates which are not
held under the NSS will be deposited on the issue date of the relevant Tranche with a common depositary on behalf of Euroclear
and Clearstream, Luxembourg (the "Common Depositary").
The Facility has been rated AAA by S&P Global Ratings 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.
Prospective investors should have regard to the factors described under the section headed "Risk Factors" in this Prospectus.
The date of this Prospectus is September 24, 2021.

This Prospectus is to be read in conjunction with all documents which are deemed to be incorporated herein by
reference (see "Availability of Information and Incorporation by Reference" below).
NOTES ISSUED UNDER THE GLOBAL DEBT ISSUANCE FACILITY ARE NOT
REQUIRED TO BE REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.
ACCORDINGLY, NO REGISTRATION STATEMENT HAS BEEN FILED WITH THE U.S.
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE "COMMISSION"). THE NOTES HAVE
NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE
SECURITIES COMMISSION NOR HAS THE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES
COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS.
ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE IN THE UNITED
STATES.
IBRD, having made all reasonable inquiries, confirms that all information in this Prospectus is true and
accurate in all material respects and is not misleading in any material respect, and that there are no other
facts the omission of which, in the context of the issue of Notes, makes this Prospectus or any information in
it misleading in any material respect. In addition, IBRD confirms that each Final Terms, when read together
with this Prospectus, will at the date thereof be true and accurate in all material respects and not misleading
in any material respect, and that there will be no other facts the omission of which would, in the context of
the issue and offering of the Notes referred to in such Final Terms, make the Final Terms, when read
together with this Prospectus, or any information therein misleading in any material respect.
No person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representation other than those
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. Neither the delivery of this Prospectus or any applicable Final Terms nor
any offering or sale made in connection herewith or therewith shall, under any circumstances, create any
implication that there has been no change in the financial condition or affairs of IBRD since the date hereof
or the date upon which this Prospectus has been most recently amended or supplemented or that there has
been no adverse change in the financial condition or affairs of IBRD since the date hereof or the date upon
which this Prospectus has been most recently amended or supplemented or that any other information
supplied in connection with the Facility is correct as of any time subsequent to the date on which it is
supplied or, if different, the date indicated in the document containing the same.
The distribution of this Prospectus or any Final Terms and the offering or sale of the Notes in certain
jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons into whose possession this Prospectus or any Final Terms
comes are required by IBRD and any Dealer to inform themselves about and to observe any such restriction.
For a description of certain restrictions on offers and sales of the Notes and on the distribution of this
Prospectus or any Final Terms, see "Plan of Distribution".
MiFID II product governance / target market The Final Terms in respect of any Notes may
include a legend entitled "MiFID II Product Governance" which will outline the target market assessment in
respect of the Notes and which channels for distribution of the Notes are appropriate. Any person
subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration the
target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II")
is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or
refining the target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
A determination will be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the MiFID
Product Governance Rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the "MiFID Product Governance
Rules"), any Dealer subscribing for any Notes is a "manufacturer" in respect of such Notes, but otherwise
neither the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will be a manufacturer for the purpose of the MiFID
Product Governance Rules.
UK MiFIR product governance / target market The Final Terms in respect of any Notes may
include a legend entitled "UK MiFIR Product Governance" which will outline the target market assessment
in respect of the Notes and which channels for distribution of the Notes are appropriate.
ii

Any distributor should take into consideration the target market assessment; however, a distributor
subject to the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the "UK MiFIR
Product Governance Rules") is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of
the Notes (by either adopting or refining the target market assessment) and determining appropriate
distribution channels.
A determination will be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the UK MiFIR
Product Governance Rules, any Dealer subscribing for any Notes is a "manufacturer" in respect of such
Notes, but otherwise neither the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will be a manufacturer for the
purpose of the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules.
Neither this Prospectus nor any Final Terms constitutes an offer of, or an invitation by or on behalf of,
IBRD or any Dealer to subscribe for, or purchase, any Notes. Neither this Prospectus nor any other
information supplied in connection with the Facility should be considered as a recommendation by IBRD or
any of the Dealers that any potential investor should purchase any Notes. Each investor contemplating
purchasing any Notes should make its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs,
and its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of IBRD.
THE NOTES ARE NOT OBLIGATIONS OF ANY GOVERNMENT.
In connection with the issue of any Tranche of Notes, the Dealer or Dealers (if any) named as the
stabilizing manager(s) (the "Stabilizing Manager(s)") (or any person acting on behalf of any Stabilizing
Manager(s)) in the applicable Final Terms may over-allot Notes or effect transactions with a view to
supporting the market price of the Notes at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However,
stabilization may not necessarily occur. Any stabilization action may begin on or after the date on which
adequate public disclosure of the terms of the offer of the relevant Tranche is made and, if begun, may cease
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-
allotment must be conducted by the relevant Stabilizing Manager(s) (or any person acting on behalf of any
Stabilizing Manager(s)) in accordance with all applicable laws and rules.
In this Prospectus, unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, references to "",
"EUR" and "euro" are to the currency introduced at the start of the third stage of the European economic and
monetary union pursuant to the Treaty on the functioning of the European Union, references to "pounds",
"sterling", "£" and "GBP" are to the lawful currency of the United Kingdom, references to "yen" are to the
lawful currency of Japan and references to "U.S. dollars", "$" and "U.S.$" are to United States dollars.

this document, except, and to the extent, any such document is superseded or modified by any subsequent

reference in, and forming part of, this document may not have been submitted to the same review and
clearance procedures to which this Prospectus has been submitted as of the date hereof by any stock
exchange or regulatory authority referred to herein.
IBRD will, in the event of any material change in the financial position of IBRD which is not reflected
in this Prospectus, prepare an amendment or supplement to this Prospectus or publish a new prospectus for
use in connection with any subsequent issue and listing of Notes by IBRD.
If the terms of the Facility are modified or amended in a manner which would make this Prospectus

position, strategy, plans, policies, practices and objectives for future operations, are forward-looking
statements. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other

from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions regarding IBRD's present
and future strategies and the environment in which IBRD will operate in the future. Among the important
factors that could cause IBRD's actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those

member countries and non-performance by borrowers. Additional factors that could cause actual results,
performance or achievements to differ materially include, but are not limited to, those discussed under "Risk
Factors". These forward-looking statements speak only as at the date of this Prospectus. IBRD expressly

FINAL TERMS
IBRD will prepare in respect of each particular issue of Notes a final terms document (each a "Final
Terms") which will contain the terms of, pricing details for, and settlement and clearance procedures relating
to, such issue of Notes and such other information or disclosure as IBRD considers appropriate. A Final
Terms may set out the full text of the terms and conditions of a particular issue of Notes if IBRD and the
relevant Dealer(s) consider it necessary or appropriate.

USE OF PROCEEDS
Supporting sustainable development in IBRD's member countries
The net proceeds from the sale of Notes will be used by IBRD to finance Eligible Sustainable
Development Projects.
"Eligible Sustainable Development Projects" means projects, programs and activities in IBRD's
member countries designed to achieve positive social and environmental impacts and outcomes in line with
IBRD's twin goals of eliminating extreme poverty and promoting shared prosperity.
Eligible Sustainable Development Projects undergo a rigorous review and internal approval process
which integrates IBRD's sustainability policies and environmental and social requirements.
IBRD's sustainable development bond framework ("SDBF"), as published from time to time, describes
the process for selecting, evaluating and reporting on Eligible Sustainable Development Projects and
contains descriptions and examples of such eligible projects.
The net proceeds from the sale of any Tranche of Notes are not committed or earmarked for the lending
to, or financing of, any particular Eligible Sustainable Development Projects. Returns on Notes are not
linked to the performance of any particular Eligible Sustainable Development Projects. Prior to use, the net
proceeds from the sale of Notes will be invested by IBRD's Treasury in accordance with IBRD's liquid asset
management investment policies. IBRD's administrative and operating expenses are covered entirely by
IBRD's various sources of revenue (net income) consisting primarily of net loan revenues and investment
income (as more fully described in the IBRD Information). The SDBF and the information set forth therein
are not a part of, or incorporated by reference into, this Prospectus.
