| Summary: | Jim Yong Kim, President of the World Bank Group, discusses the opportunities and challenges
facing the economic development of Indonesia and East Asia,
and how the World Bank Group can help end extreme poverty
and foster share prosperity more widely in the region. He remarked
that the progress most admired about Indonesia is its
accomplishment in reducing extreme poverty. The Group has aligned
its work with two goals -- to end extreme poverty by 2030
and to boost shared prosperity for the bottom 40 percent of
the population in low- and middle-income countries. The
Program Nasional Pemberdayaan Mandiri, or PNPM, has helped
distribute the gains from this growth more equitably across
the population. He concludes saying that, we can make sure
your successes help build a more just and equal world. |
