The World Bank’s IDA fund is essential for generating global growth and jobs. Great to hear how #IDA funds have helped grow economies and tackle poverty. Delivering an ambitious #IDA replenishment later this year is essential and the new UK government is going to play its part.

Ajay on how lowering @WorldBank 's equity-to-loans ratio generates significant lending capacity. Along with other financial innovations, is helping unlock ~$150B in additional financing over the coming decade. Watch #WBGMeetings Press Conference replay.

The conflict in the Middle East has inflicted a heavy human & economic toll.    Our #MENAupdate shows the dramatic consequences of conflict, disruption, and uncertainty.    The past years have presented crisis after crisis.

Inspiring during my recent visit to #Egypt to visit Alamein Hospital, one of the hospitals leading Egypt’s journey to Universal Health Insurance, supported by the @WorldBank . Providing basic healthcare for people throughout their lives is critical for development. #InvestInHealth

Great discussion in New York yesterday with @USGRabab_UN . We discussed our shared commitment to the least developed countries & small states vulnerable to climate change. A strong #IDA21 replenishment in December is vital to help @WBG_IDA countries end poverty & build resilience.
