Throughout this year's Annual Meetings, I have stressed the urgency of the issues we face.
It is clear that the COVID-19 pandemic has triggered a stark reversal of development gains. Development is going backwards on poverty, median income, education, nutrition, security and many other areas.
As countries work to recover, the World Bank Group's International Development Association (IDA) provides a huge boost to growth and development - an ambitious and successful IDA20 replenishment can do much to help better outcomes for countries around the world, and I am looking forward to the final IDA20 replenishment round in Tokyo this December.
To avoid a "lost decade" it is urgent that we act now to address the most pressing issues affecting global inequality: debt, vaccines, and climate. Over the next few weeks, I look forward to attending the G20 and COP26 summits for further discussions on these important issues.

2 年In recent times, businesses require careful considerations for a more integrated process. For a better functioning of a business-friendly environment within an industry, integration is necessary. It is a broad concept which lacks a definite methodology. Integration involves various elements to achieve the total goal. Integration has always been a key factor in any business. If you go for a business with absolutely no integration, where the services will stand on their own, for sure you can make some quick money, but it will fizzle out fast. Success comes from the integration of all the services and products offered together to form a single unit that ensures more benefits to the customer. Business and money making is all about finding viable opportunities and working them to their fullest. Integration is an important business strategy and concept to make the most of opportunity. The more ways we can integrate a network or business model, the richer we will become. David Malpass thanks for posting.
