| Summary: | These remarks were delivered by David
Malpass, President of the World Bank Group, at the G20
Leaders Summit held in Osaka, Japan. He spoke about how
giving women better access to economic opportunities is
critical to eliminate differences in living standards
between men and women. He highlighted We-Fi which is so
important and how the Bank was proud to celebrate its
two-year anniversary in Osaka. He spoke about the developing
countries and the Bank's role in actively identifying
changes in the private sector environment that will attract
investment and enable higher living standards and better
lives. He explained the Bank's work in fragile
states, such as the Sahel and the Horn of Africa, to help
countries build stronger foundations so that young people
are more able to stay rather than seeking to immigrate. He
discussed reducing inequality and realizing inclusive
and sustainable growth around the world, and how addressing
these requires jobs, education, healthcare, attention to the
environment, and robust commerce and trade among neighbors
and nations. He concluded by saying that the Bank would
continue to work with all the nations on these challenges. |
