Where is the headquarters of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development located?

The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) is the founding institution of the World Bank Group, established in 1945 to assist in post-war reconstruction [c1][c2]. Its headquarters is located in Washington D.C., USA [c1][t3]. The IBRD, along with the International Development Association (IDA), forms the core of the World Bank, which provides financial and technical assistance to developing nations [t5]. Official records and publications consistently list the address as 1818 H Street NW, Washington DC [t3][t6][t8]. While other international organizations like the ILO and ITU are headquartered in Geneva [t1], and UNESCO is in Paris [t1], the major Bretton Woods institutions—the IBRD and the International Monetary Fund (IMF)—are both based in Washington D.C. [t1]. Currently, the IBRD has 189 member countries, including India as a founding member [c1][c2].
