essential for ending poverty by 2030, and for building shared
prosperity so that the bottom 40 percent of the population

create a favorable environment in which it's easier to
start a formal business with improved regulation and
technology. He mentions that many leaders in the developing

with private sector. He speaks about the need of Canadians
and other international firms to invest in the developing
world. He expresses the keen interest of World Bank to
partner in developing countries and asks the government of
