Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, how much and what proportion of her Department's spending was made in India through the World Bank in 2015-16.

DFID’s imputed share of the World Bank’s net disbursements to India in calendar year 2015 was an estimated £30.5 million. This accounted for 0.3 per cent of total DFID’s official development spend in 2015. However, from July 2017 onwards India, as a Middle Income Country, will not benefit from any new lending from the World Bank’s concessional facility, the International Development Association.
