| Summary: | Jim Yong Kim, President of the World Bank Group, spoke
about the complex and vexing challenges which the
world faces today. He explained how the major issues
that evolve in a developing country now swiftly move to
affect developed countries. He discussed
three points to tackle at the global level. First,
address the challenge of global threats that cross
boundaries and regions will become ever more central to
achieving the mission to end extreme poverty. Second,
focus much more effectively on managing risk and
uncertainty. Third, much more must be done to
address the deep pockets of poverty and rising inequality in
countries at every income level. |
