The world is facing a set of intertwined challenges: climate crisis, debt, food insecurity, pandemics, and fragility; and a need to accelerate access to clean air, water, and energy. Time is of the essence.
We need a better Bank to address these challenges ¨C but also a better Bank for the challenges of tomorrow.
The G20 Leaders challenged the World Bank Group to change and be a more significant part of the solution ¨C with the ambition for speed, simplicity, better leveraging our balance sheet, and engaging partners and the private sector. We are in the process of implementing their recommendations.
We are building a faster, quicker Bank. We want to become a better partner to governments, the private sector, and, ultimately, the people we serve.
