World Bank President Jim Kim announced on Monday that the appointment of senior directors of the bank’s “global practices” will be finalized later this week ahead of the institution’s spring meetings.
“I am extremely pleased with the group that we have put together,” Kim said in reply to a question from Devex during a call with reporters.
“It was a very open process that I did not get involved in until the very end,” he added. “But then, when it got to the last 2 or 3 finalists, I interviewed every single one of them and got to know them in some depth.”
