This annual report covers the fiscal period from July 1, 2012, to June 30, 2013. Although development challenges persist and the global economy remains fragile, the Bank continues its drive toward ending extreme poverty and pursuing shared prosperity in an environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable manner. The Board approved $31.5 billion in World Bank financial assistance in fiscal 2013, comprising $15.2 billion in International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) lending and $16.3 billion in International Development Association (IDA) support. The Executive Directors reviewed 22 Country Partnership Strategy products, 21 of which were prepared jointly with the International Finance Corporation (IFC). The Board approved an administrative budget for the World Bank of $1.9 billion for fiscal 2014. East Asia and Pacific remained the fastest-growing developing region in the world in 2012. It was an engine of growth during the recent global turmoil, contributing about 40 percent of the increase in global output in 2012. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth in Europe and Central Asia was uneven in 2012. In Central and Southeastern Europe, output declined, and growth is forecast to be anemic in 2013. These countries and Turkey are forecast to grow about 4 percent in 2013. GDP in Latin America and the Caribbean grew 3 percent in 2012. Growth is expected to remain robust, at 3.5 percent, as strong domestic demand compensates for weak global economic conditions. Historic political and economic changes continued to reshape the Middle East and North Africa, with the pace and nature of change differing widely across countries. GDP growth in South Asia weakened to 5.4 percent in 2012, down from 7.4 percent in 2011, mainly as a result of a slowdown in India. Regional GDP is projected to grow 5.7 percent in 2013, driven by an increase in export demand, policy reforms in India, stronger investment activity, and normal agricultural production.
