He talks about the need for growth that is inclusive, creates jobs, and assists the poor directly. He calls for ensuring economic growth in the years ahead that is sustainable and takes us off the destructive path of climate change. He focuses on providing the best services possible in countries by keeping a strong presence in country offices and by providing global solutions to local problems. He is optimistic that countries and their partners will take it on, seize this opportunity and erase this stain of extreme poverty from our collective moral conscience once and for all. He fielded questions about China urbanization, Russo-Ukrainian tensions, Ghana’s dependence on the U.S. market, quality versus quantity of development aid, Middle East prospects, World Bank programs in Egypt, poverty in Paraguay, increased fees for advisory services, use of financial intermediaries, and climate change. 2016-05-24T16:48:21Z 2016-05-24T16:48:21Z 2014-04-10 Speech http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2016/02/25871041/transcript-world-bank-group-president-jim-yong-kim’s-opening-press-conference-international-monetary-fundimf--world-bank-spring-meetings-2014 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/24334 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Speech Middle East and North Africa Middle East China Russia Ukraine Ghana Egypt Paraguay
