| Summary: | Jim Yong Kim, President of the World Bank Group, discussed a few items that are on the
agenda for at these meetings. He launched the latest
edition of our Global Findex financial inclusion database,
which tracks how people use financial services. The World Bank Group is dedicated to ending poverty wherever it exists in client countries. He mentioned two
specific initiatives to support that effort: first, a

review all possible options to enhance IBRD and IFC's
financial capacity and develop a package of measures for
governors' consideration. He believes a good case for
how a stronger World Bank Group can meet the aspirations of
shareholders, respond to global challenges, mobilize
capital at scale, and make the institution even more
efficient and effective. |
