The
World Bank has received three nominations for the post of its
presidency, including Ngozi Okonjo – Iweala, Nigerian finance
minister, José Antonio Ocampo,
a columbian national and professor at Colombian University in New
York and Jim Young Kim from the United States.
World Bank said its directors
will conduct formal interviews of the three candidates in Washingon
in the coming weeks. And their decision will be made known in april.
This is the first time that the world bank presidency is being contested. It has always been headed by American nationals.
I hope the developping countires will be given a chance to head this body. Did I hear you say that's what democracy is all about. Sure. Ngozi, good luck.
