    Abstract: George D. Woods, the President of the World Bank, remarked that both investment and trade are basic to economic development, which is the essential preoccupation of the Bank. He suggested that, in approaching its agenda, the aim of this Conference must be nothing less than to make a real start in evolving international trade and development policies which are more adequate than those presently prevailing for stimulating economic growth throughout the developing world. One consideration is whether to seek greater price stability through commodity agreements, or to try to mitigate the effects of price fluctuations through some new form of compensatory financing, or to try some new approach altogether. He earnestly urged that governments re-examine the amount of their pledges to IDA in the light of the pressing investment requirements of the developing countries

    Abstract: George D. Woods, President of the World Bank and its affiliates, spoke about Japan as a vibrant example of both reconstruction and development. He briefly reported on developments in the World Bank Group of institutions during the past year, including partnership agreements with the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization and UNESCO. He indicated some of the principal preoccupations in the period ahead, such as a scarcity of good projects to support, large debt service burdens, and the next IDA replenishment. Finally, he concluded by saying a few words about developments in the world environment in which the Bank group operates and about the possible effect of those developments upon the role of the organizations

    Series Statement: Speeches of World Bank Presidents
    Abstract: George D. Woods, President of the World Bank Group, discussed the following: the willingness of the capital-exporting countries to continue and increase their annual contributions in support of the International Development Association (IDA); the operations of the International Finance Corporation (IFC); and the growing activity of the Bank Group, under the leadership of IFC, in the establishment and support of local private industrial finance companies. He addressed three problems that put a brake on economic progress: the commodity problem, the debt problem, and the policy problem. He sought expansion of Bank support to agriculture, industry, and education

    Series Statement: Speeches of World Bank Presidents
    Abstract: Eugene R. Black, President of the World Bank, spoke of the record levels for Bank and IDA commitments for economic development projects. More than four-fifths of the amount went to support power and transportation. IDA lent for purposes new to the Bank: municipal water supply, and construction of secondary schools. A new Development Advisory Service operation was created this year. He also discussed IFC's role in improving the economic growth of the less developed countries via stimulation of private capital markets. He spoke of international trade barriers and terms of trade and their role in the capacity to repay debt. He remarked on the choice between bilateral and multilateral aid, and the influence of politics on development choices. He called for more economic objectivity in aid decisions. He also noted the problem of enlargement of IDA's resources for the future. He concluded by saying that Bank is showing how an instrument of international cooperation can bring the world's resources to bear on the problems that are of concern to most of mankind--a kind of burning glass that can kindle the fire of hope even in the most remote and forsaken corners of the earth

    Abstract: Eugene R. Black, President of the World Bank, bid farewell to Robert Garner, who presided over the birth of the International Finance Corporation and nursed it through its inevitable growing pains. He then focused on some old and some new problems, and, in particular, the newest member of the World Bank family, the International Development Association. IDA credits will have grace periods, long maturities, and low or no interest or commitment charges. Many IDA recipients have heavy foreign debt service burdens. He concluded by saying that the share of capital should increase that goes to the underdeveloped countries on terms properly geared to their requirements

    The Decline in Access to Correspondent Banking Services in Emerging Markets : Trends, Impacts, and Solutions (1905)

    Abstract: To move funds internationally, banks rely on correspondent banking relationships (CBRs), roughly defined as the provision of banking services by one bank (the correspondent) to another bank (the respondent). CBRs are essential to international payments and provide an essential nexus between local economies and jurisdictions and the international financial system. They underpin international trade, remittances, and humanitarian financial flows among countries and are therefore particularly relevant to developing countries to support economic growth and development. Since the global financial crisis of 2008, global banks have been reviewing their CBRs and many have decided to terminate or limit their correspondent banking services (also known as derisking) to different regions, jurisdictions, or categories of clients

    Abstract: A joint Government of Honduras and World Bank team conducted a study in Honduras between January and June 2017, using the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Disclosure Diagnostic template recommended by the World Bank Framework for Disclosure of Information in PPPs. This study has been consolidated in the form of a PPP Disclosure Diagnostic Report for Honduras. The Diagnostic Report examines the political, legal, and institutional environment for disclosure in PPPs. Based on a gap assessment exercise with key political, legal, institutional, and process findings benchmarked against the World Bank Framework, the Diagnostic Report makes specific recommendations to improve disclosure. The recommendations include a customized framework for disclosure of PPPs in Honduras

    South Asia Climate Change Risks in Water Management : Climate Risks and Solutions - Adaptation Frameworks for Water Resources Planning, Development, and Management in South Asia (1905)

    Abstract: Water management is a key development challenge in South Asia. The region - one of the most densely-populated and climate-vulnerable parts of the world - has the world's fastest growing regional economy and the largest proportion of poorest people. With 23.7 percent of the global population, but only 4.6 percent of the world's renewable water resources, the management of water is a key development challenge for sustaining growth, livelihoods, and resilience. The key features of this challenge are ensuring a reliable supply of water for food, people, energy, and industry, and managing the consequences of extreme hydrological events. Climate change will compound this challenge; it will impact, though unevenly, water supply, demand and quality, and exacerbate extreme hydrological events

    Guidance for Sovereign Green Bond Issuers : With Lessons from Fiji's First Emerging Economy Sovereign Green Bond (1905)

    Abstract: A sovereign green bond presents countries with an opportunity to demonstrate national leadership in the green financing agenda while giving exposure to a new investor base and solidifying a country's commitment to complying with the Paris Climate Change Agreement. While green bonds allow sovereign issuers to appeal to a new class of investors, domestically or internationally, in addition to the usual costs associated with the preparation of a vanilla government bond, green bonds require upfront and ongoing resources that are not recoverable through bond proceeds. Many potential investors need to be educated on the benefits of a green bond, for themselves and the country. Studies have shown an increasing number of millennials are attracted to investments that will have a positive environmental impact, making it a wise choice for retail issuances and institutions whose customer base will increasingly include millennials. Clearly identifying the reasons for issuing will drive many decisions in the issuance process. If a country's motivation to issue a green bond is prompted by a desire for cheaper financing compared to a vanilla issuance, then caution should be exercised. While it has been suggested they may have the potential to attract a pricing premiu
