Introduction
This listing contains a selection of abbreviations and acronyms used in Bank documents in English. The acronyms are neither official nor, in some cases, even correct. Nevertheless, they are what is used or has been used. Every one has been found in a Bank document. The listing has been produced to assist translators, interpreters and other interested parties in deciphering the sometimes cryptic codes used in Bank documents. The listing does not contain: i) acronyms for organizations, except for those that are part of the World Bank Group and a few selected organizations involved in the more administrative side of the Bank; ii) acronyms in languages other than English; iii) the three- and five-letter unit codes, which can be found in the Bank's phone directory (currently page 1-1 through page 1-11) as well as in the MOC list, available on All-in-One. For your convenience, we have also added the standard country codings used (there are several - see Annex 1) and the ISO currency codes, which are increasingly used by the Bank (see Annex 2). Your contributions and suggestions for future editions will be welcome.
Other sources for acronyms and abbreviations include:
Bank units: Bank Telephone Directory (pages 1-1 through 1-11) and Master Organization Code (MOC), available through All-In-One; Abbreviations found in Bank documents in English, French and Spanish: Communications and Style Guide Statement 4.00; Yearbook ofInternational Organizations (available from Bank libraries); General: Bank libraries have many dictionaries of acronyms and abbreviations in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German and other languages.

Country acronyms
The following is a list of acronyms used for country names. Unfortunately, there is no standard system used in the Bank. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has produced an International Standard No. 3166 which uses a 2-Ietter and 3-letter code. You will find these listed below as IS02 and IS03. The Bank seems to roughly follow IS03 but is by no means consistent; moreover, there are at least four systems used in the Bank which, while substantially similar, are not identical. These are the system used on loan documents (identified as WB below), the system used by the Budget and Accounting System (BAS), the system used by Controller's (CTR) and the system used by Language Services Division (LSD). Finally, the United Nations has its own system which is shared by FAO (and probably other organizations) (UNIFAO). It's your guess which system is being used in any given document! Note that many systems do not have entries for all countries (partially because they are not concerned with those countries). ISO has entries for geographical areas that are not independent countries. Note also that these systems have not yet adopted acronyms for many new countries, particularly the countries of the former Soviet Union and Yugoslavia. This listing is purely alphabetical order by acronym.
