At a recent G20 finance ministers meeting in India, Ajay Banga, the new president of the World Bank, expressed concerns about widening economic disparities between wealthy and developing nations. He emphasized that such divides could exacerbate poverty in the Global South. The meeting, held in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, brought together finance ministers and central bank chiefs to discuss various global economic challenges.

Banga highlighted the struggles of many countries still grappling with the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic repercussions of Russia’s war in Ukraine, which have affected fuel and commodity prices worldwide. He also noted the acute effects of climate change on some of the poorest countries.

Banga, recently appointed by U.S. President Joe Biden and a naturalized American citizen of Indian origin, shared his concerns about a growing mistrust that could further divide the Global North and South. He pointed out that developing countries are bearing the brunt of problems largely created by wealthier nations and are worried about issues like energy policies, poverty escalation, and the potential redirection of resources towards Ukraine’s reconstruction.

The World Bank is looking to enhance its financial capacity, including raising hybrid capital, to stimulate growth and job creation. Banga emphasized the need for environmentally sustainable growth, stating that emission-intensive expansion is not a viable path forward.

Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, who chaired the meeting, called on global leaders to guide the economy towards sustainable, balanced, and inclusive growth. The U.S. has suggested that reforms in multilateral lenders like the World Bank could free up to $200 billion over the next decade.

Debt restructuring for low-income countries was a key topic, with a focus on individualized solutions rather than a universal approach. This issue is particularly relevant given that over half of all low-income countries are near or experiencing debt distress, a significant increase since 2015. U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen mentioned the prolonged negotiations over Zambia’s debt and expressed hope for quicker resolutions in cases like Ghana and Sri Lanka.

The meeting also included discussions on reforms in multilateral development banks, cryptocurrency regulations, climate change finance, and a new agreement on the distribution of tax revenues from multinational firms to ensure a fairer system. This agreement is particularly targeted at tech firms that have been able to shift profits to low-tax countries.
