Is the world bank under the control of the International Monetary Fund?

No, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) are distinct entities, each with its own governance and operational structure. While they often collaborate and share similar goals of promoting global economic stability and development, the World Bank focuses primarily on long-term economic development and poverty reduction, whereas the IMF is more concerned with short-term financial stability and monetary cooperation. Both institutions are part of the broader framework of the international financial system but operate independently.
