A bank with the two main goals of promoting poverty reduction and social equity as well as environmentally sustainable growth. To obtain these goals it focuses its work on four priority areas: Fostering competitiveness through support for policies and programs that increase a country's potential for development in an open global economy; modernizing the state by strengthening the efficiency and transparency of public institutions; investing in social programs that expand opportunities for the poor; and promoting regional economic integration by forging links among countries to develop larger markets for the goods and services.
