World Bank Head Quits.

United Nations, Jan 8 World Bank President Jim Yong Kim has announced that he is stepping down as the head of the premier anti-poverty institution putting the likely choice of its future leadership in the hands of US President Donald Trump, a sceptic of international development. Trump’s role is expected reinvigorate challenges to Washington’s monopoly on appointing the Bank’s head. Announcing his decision on Monday, Kim said in a tweet: “It’s been the greatest privilege I could have ever imagined to lead the dedicated staff of this great institution to bring us closer to a world that is finally free of poverty.” Kim, 59, who is dropping out 19 months into his second term on February 1, would be joining a private company and focus on infrastructure investments in developing countries, the Bank said. The Bank’s CEO Kristalina Georgieva will become the interim president till a successor to Kim is appointed. As the largest share-holder, the US by tradition appoints the head of the Bank, while Europeans determine the chief of the International Monetary Fund. Kim was nominated for the job by former President Barack Obama in 2012. Before Trump’s election, Kim was hastily re-appointed in September 2016 to a second term that began in July 2017 with an eye on pre-empting a possible Trump nominee getting the job. Now, however, Trump will get an opportunity to nominate the Bank’s head. Trump’s role will resurrect and strengthen challenges to the post-World War II model of the leadership of the 189-member bank that has always been determined by the US . Already the US nominee was challenged for the first time in 2012 by two contenders. Colombian economist Jose Antonio Ocampo Gaviria eventually withdrew from the race, while Nigeria’s then-Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala lost when the Bank’s directors rubber-stamped Kim’s appointment. Now there will be robust demands for reconsidering the US leadership of the Bank and stronger non-American contenders for the job. Kim, a South Korea-born US citizen, was an unusual leader for the Bank: He was a medical doctor by training, a specialist in public health and an academic with a Harvard doctorate in anthropology who had led the Ivy League Dartmouth College. But his background in health was a plus for the Bank’s mission of fighting poverty and promoting development. Under his leadership, the Bank adopted in tandem with the UN the goal of ending extreme poverty by 2030 and focusing on the bottom 40 per cent of the population in the developing world. The Bank’s International Development Association, which funds programmes in the least developed countries, achieved two record replenishments during his tenure, the last one in 2016 for $75 billion. Last April, the Bank also increased its capital by $13 billion with the unexpected support of the Trump administration. Kim also pushed the Bank’s cooperation with the private sector for financing development in the developing world, particularly in the areas of climate change and infrastructure. China, though a part of the World Bank, has thrown a challenge to it by setting up its own development banking institutions. The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), founded in 2016 is one of those institutions and several countries  Read the full article

Presiden World Bank Group Jim Yong Kim menyampaikan dalam Rapat Paripurna Annual Meeting IMF—WBG 2018, teknologi dan otomatisasi yang mengancam keberadaan beberapa pekerjaan telah menimbulkan pertanyaan dari berbagai penjuru dunia mengenai langkah yang harus diambil agar masyarakat tetap dapat menopang perekonomian keluarganya. “Berita baiknya adalah kita telah mengetahui jawaban untuk membantu negara bersiap untuk masa depan.

President Barack Obama has made an unconventional pick for his nomination on who should be next to head the World Bank. The World Bank has always been headed by an American since its founding in 1944, but this time Korean-born Jim Yong Kim has the president's backing. Obama wanted to push for nominee with broad development experience, and Kim was suggested by Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Jim Yong Kim's pioneering work in the treatment of HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis, made the administration confident that he could be in charge of an organization whose purpose is to assist developing countries. The Dartmouth President, Jim Yong Kim, will be the first of his kind if his nomination is passed by the World Bank's 25-member executive board.
