PovcalNet is a web application that provides data on poverty and inequality to allow users to replicate the World Bank’s global poverty measures. It also allows users to do their own calculations of global and regional poverty measures from the underlying survey-based distributional data, drawing on over 700 household surveys from over 120 countries. Users can also use their own poverty lines and do their own country groupings.

WBI Governance & Anti-Corruption
The World Bank views good governance and anti-corruption as important to its poverty alleviation mission. Many governance and anti-corruption initiatives are taking place throughout the World Bank Group. They focus on internal organizational integrity, minimizing corruption on World Bank-funded projects, and assisting countries in improving governance and controlling corruption. Combining participatory action-oriented learning, capacity-building tools, and the power of data , the World Bank Institute (WBI), in collaboration with other units in the World Bank Group, supports countries in improving governance and controlling corruption. We also provide policy and institutional advice and support to countries in their formulation of action programs. Using a strategic and multidisciplinary approach, we apply action-learning methods to link empirical diagnostic surveys ,
Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI)
The aggregate indicators combine the views of a large number of enterprise, citizen and expert survey respondents in industrial and developing countries. The individual data sources underlying the aggregate indicators are drawn from a diverse variety of survey institutes, think tanks, non-governmental organizations, and international organizations. The six aggregate indicators and the underlying data sources can be viewed interactively on the "Access Governance Indicators" page. A working paper describing the WGI methodology is available here . Full documentation of the latest WGI update is available on the Documentation page.

Seit der vorhergehenden Prognoserunde im Dezember sind wir optimistischer für die Weltwirtschaft geworden. Dies ist vor allem auf den Erfolg der jüngsten Liquiditätsmaßnahmen der Europäischen Zentralbank (EZB) und die Umschuldung Griechenlands zurückzuführen, aufgrund derer die Wahrscheinlichkeit gesunken ist, dass die Krise im Euroraum in einer Katastrophe endet. Daher dürfte die Rezession in Europa wahrscheinlich schwächer als zunächst von uns erwartet ausfallen. Die deutlichste Prognoseänderung betrifft jedoch Japan; dort rechnen wir nunmehr wegen des Wiederaufbaus nach den Naturkatastrophen vom vergangenen Jahr mit einer merklichen Erholung des BIP.
