Where Does the World Bank Get Its Money?

Evey one about world bank and its work. But can you know where does the world bank get its money.
The World bank's money comes from a number of sources. One of them is "World Bank Group" (WBG).
The World Bank Group is a family of five international organizations that make leveraged loan to developing countries.

Five organizations are:

INTERNATIONAL BANK FOR RECONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT (IBRD)
INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION (IDA)
INTERNATIONAL FINANCE CORPORATION (IFC)
MULTILATERAL INVESTMENT GUARANTEE AGENCY(MIGA)
INTERNATIONAL CENTRE FOR SETTLEMENT OF INVESTMENT DISPUTES(ICSID)

The first two IBRD and IDA provide maximum funds and loans at preferential rates to member countries as well as grants to the poorest countries.

IBRD FUND

-IBRD raises most of its funds in the world's financial markets and its shareholders (sovereign governments).This has allowed it to provide more than $500 billion in loans to alleviate poverty around the world since 1946, with its shareholder governments paying in about $14 billion in capital.
-IBRD earns income every year from the return on its equity and from the small margin it makes on lending. This pays for World Bank operating expenses, goes into reserves to strengthen the balance sheet.

IDA FUND

-As in past replenishments, the World Bank Group contributed its own resources to IDA, with IBRD and IFC providing more than $600 million.
-Now the global community agreed in December 2016 to accelerate the fight to end extreme poverty through a record financing commitment. The record outcome reflects the substantial joint efforts of more than 50 traditional, emerging, and new partners to stretch their contributions (as of March 2017), as well as the endorsement of IDA’s new hybrid financial model.
-G7 countries accounted for 69 percent of grant equivalent contributions. Contributions from first-time contributors and from former IDA borrowing countries provided a welcome addition to the overall financing pool. These contributions underscore the increasing role emerging economies are playing in the development of poorer countries.

What is Nebula. Images of some nebula by Hubble

A nebula is a giant cloud of dust and gas in space. Some nebulae (more than one nebula) come from the gas and dust thrown out by the explosion of a dying star, such as a supernova. Other nebulae are regions where new stars are beginning to form. For this reason, some nebulae are called "star nurseries." How do stars form in a nebula? Nebulae are made of dust and gases—mostly hydrogen and helium. The dust and gases in a nebula are very spread out, but gravity can slowly begin to pull together clumps of dust and gas. As these clumps get bigger and bigger, their gravity gets stronger and stronger. Eventually, the clump of dust and gas gets so big that it collapses from its own gravity. The collapse causes the material at the center of the cloud to heat up-and this hot core is the beginning of a star. Some of the most amazing nebula pictured by Hubble in Milky Way Galaxy The Eagle Nebula’s Pillars of Creation (M 16, Messier 16) The dust and gas in the pi...

WHAT IS A BLACK HOLE

In April, NASA created a big announcement that they captured first image of black hole. BUT WHAT IS A BLACK HOLE It is a great amount of matter packed into a very small area - think of a star ten times more massive than the Sun squeezed into a sphere approximately the diameter of New York City. The result is a gravitational field so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. Most famously, black holes were predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity, which showed that when a massive star dies, it leaves behind a small, dense remnant core. If the core's mass is more than about three times the mass of the Sun, the equations showed, the force of gravity overwhelms all other forces and produces a black hole. HOW THEY ARE FORMED Most black holes form from the remnants of a large star that dies in a supernova explosion. (Smaller stars become dense neutron stars, which are not massive enough to trap light.) If the total mass of the star is large e...

Collision of galaxies, images taken by hubble

The interaction between galaxies is an on going process in universe. However the merging of big galaxies with each other on average once over the past 9 billion years. But Small galaxies were coalescing with large galaxies more frequently. In fact, our own Milky Way galaxy had several such mergers with small galaxies in its recent past. In the combination of galaxies there is no collision of stars with eath other, it is the dust and other material which collapse and billions of stars are born, mostly in groups and clusters of stars. Some of the images of colliding galaxies taken by hubble This is image of a pair of interacting galaxies called Arp 273. The distorted shape of the larger of the two galaxies shows signs of tidal interactions with the smaller of the two. It is thought that the smaller galaxy has actually passed through the larger one. This nearly 300 million light years away from earth. And a part of Constellation "Andromeda" Hubble has captured a...
