Explanation

The World Development Report (WDR) is the World Bank Group’s annual flagship report. Authoritative sources state that the WDR has been published annually since 1978 by the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) / World Bank and provides an in‑depth analysis of a specific aspect of economic development [1]. The World Bank’s own publication pages and the 2025 WDR overview explicitly attribute the report’s copyright and issuance to the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development / The World Bank, confirming the Bank as the publisher [2]. Therefore, the correct publisher is the International Bank of Reconstruction and Development (World Bank).
