Looking back, looking forward: The world economy through the World Bank’s lens
Indermit Gill, chief economist at the World Bank, joins David Marsh, chairman of OMFIF, for a valedictory conversation marking the end of Gill’s tenure. They reflect on a period defined by overlapping global shocks and what it has meant for the bank and its partner countries. The discussion looks at the highs and lows of Gill’s time in the role, examining how shifts in global growth, debt sustainability, trade fragmentation and development finance have tested and shaped the bank’s mission. They also look ahead to what the next chapter of global development demands of policy-makers, multilateral institutions, and the developing and emerging economies navigating an uncertain geopolitical environment.
