Updated country income classifications are available here.
The World Bank assigns the world’s economies to four income groups—low, lower-middle, upper-middle, and high-income countries. The classifications are updated each year on July 1 and are based on GNI per capita in current USD (using the Atlas method exchange rates) of the previous year (i.e. 2019 in this case).
Today, we at the World Bank are honored to be in one of the top positions in 
the International Aid Transparency Index (IATI), an independent measurement of aid transparency. This ranking demonstrates our strong commitment to transparency, timely and effective information disclosure, and Open Data.
The transparency of development finance data is even more important now, as we enhance our support to countries addressing the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic. High quality and timeliness of development data allows for better coordination of such a response, more efficient resource use and a better-informed decision-making process.
Dear Governors,
I hope this finds you well, safe, and healthy during these very difficult times. I have enormously appreciated your support over the past year, and our warm and constructive interactions. Face-to- face meetings have become harder over recent months, so at our fiscal year-end, I wanted to provide an update on World Bank Group (WBG) deliveries, as well as other efforts over the past year. I would like to focus in particular on the COVID-19 emergency response, the Debt Service Suspension Initiative for the world’s poorest countries, and progress made on debt transparency since the Development Committee on April 17. I would also like to update you on a few organizational, leadership, and governance matters.

On construction sites, it is more common to see men working than women. With the aim 
of improving the gender balance in construction, the World Bank is implementing gender strategies in urban transport projects in Colombia. These have led to the increased participation of women in infrastructure projects.
Gender discrimination not only has a negative impact on women’s income; it also impedes companies and society from making use of the special skills that women contribute to the economy. The implementation of a gender equality strategy in the Bucaramanga Integrated Mass Transport System– Metrolínea – revealed the advantages of including women in this type of project and provided lessons that could be shared with other systems, sectors and projects.
