Middle-Income Countries
Middle-income countries (MICs) face peculiar development challenges: they must be able to increasingly compete in a global marketplace without protection from trade preferences.
To do so, they must continually enhance economic competitiveness, increase productivity, especially by improving infrastructure, broadening their knowledge base and developing human capital. At the same time, MICs must continue to fight pockets of exclusion and poverty as well as increase access to services and products better tailored to their needs.
There is in these countries large unmet demand for more tailored support as well as analytical and advisory work. The Bank will respond more effectively to these realities. Under its new MIC strategy, the Bank will build more effective linkages between sovereign and non-sovereign operations, develop more competitive lending products, and bundle them more systematically with high-value knowledge and advisory services.
