Tarptautinio Valiutos fondo Direktorių valdyba patvirtino Kristaliną Georgievą naująja šios institucijos vykdomąja direktore.
Kaip VŽ rašė, nors užimti į šias pareigas, iš kurių pasitraukė būsimoji Europos Centrinio banko vadovė Christine Lagarde, buvo daugiau pretendentų, galiausiai K. Georgieva liko vienintele kandidate, kurią svarstė TVF Direktorių valdyba.
Bulgarės K. Georgievos kandidatūrą nominavo ES finansų ministrai. O pagal neformalų Europos ir JAV susitarimą – Europa parenka TVF, o JAV – Pasaulio banko vadovą.
TVF Direktorių taryba pabrėžia, kad ji yra pirmoji TVF vadovė iš šalies su besivystančia rinkos ekonomika.
David Robert Malpass (born March 8, 1956)[1] is an American economic analyst and former government official serving as President of the World Bank Group since 2019. Malpass previously served as Under Secretary of the Treasury for International Affairs under Donald Trump, Deputy Assistant Treasury Secretary under Ronald Reagan, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under George H. W. Bush. He served as Chief Economist at Bear Stearns for the six years preceding its collapse.[2]
During the 2016 U.S. presidential election, Malpass served as an economic advisor to Donald Trump, and in 2017, he was nominated and confirmed as Under Secretary of the Treasury for International Affairs at the Treasury Department. Malpass was elected President of the World Bank on April 4, 2019, having been nominated to the position in February 2019 by the Trump Administration.[3][4] He formally took office on April 9, 2019.[4]
The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is a multilateral development bank that aims to support the building of infrastructure in the Asia-Pacific region. The bank currently has 74 members as well as 26 prospective members from around the world.[1] The bank started operation after the agreement entered into force on 25 December 2015, after ratifications were received from 10 member states holding a total number of 50% of the initial subscriptions of the Authorized Capital Stock.[4]
The United Nations has addressed the launch of AIIB as having potential for "scaling up financing for sustainable development"[5] and to improve the global economic governance.[6] The starting capital of the bank was $100 billion, equivalent to 2⁄3 of the capital of the Asian Development Bank and about half that of the World Bank.[7]
The bank was proposed by China in 2013[8] and the initiative was launched at a ceremony in Beijing in October 2014.[9] It received the highest credit ratings from the three biggest rating agencies in the world, and is seen as a potential rival to the World Bank and IMF.[10][11]
2015
And now the AIIB can add Israel to its list. The Israeli Foreign Ministry announced on Wednesday that Prime Minister Netanyahu had signed an application, saying membership would open up opportunities for Israeli companies to enter into one of the fastest growing markets on the planet.
The booming Asian economy isn’t the only thing pushing Israel toward the AIIB. Netanyahu’s government has been looking for ways to diversify its exports in response to a rising tide of anti-Semitism in Europe, and given that it could face potential sanctions over future conflicts.
At this point, Japan is the only major US ally who is still holding out on membership, but given the AIIB’s quickly growing influence, one can easily imagine Tokyo casting longing looks toward Beijing as Washington leads it in the other direction.
Israel joins China, India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Brunei, Cambodia, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Laos, Maldives, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, New Zealand, Oman, Pakistan, the Philippines, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Thailand, Vietnam, France, Germany, Italy, the UK, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Austria, Turkey, South Korea, Brazil, Russia, Georgia, the Netherlands, Denmark, Australia, Egypt, Finland, Kyrgyzstan, and Sweden, all having applied for membership.
Et Tu, Brute?
