This paper discusses the response from the World Bank Group (WBG) to the recent global crises. It pays special attention to low income countries (LICs) and the responsiveness and adaptability of the WBG. Most shock facilities are available to both LICs and MICs (middle income countries) and an exact distinction is not straightforward. This note does not evaluate the planned and implemented programs of the WBG in response to the crises, but instead offer a concise summary of their activities.
