Global growth is slowing. Investment is sluggish, manufacturing activity is soft, and trade is weakening. The challenges of climate change and fragility are making poor countries more vulnerable. This backdrop makes our goals of reducing extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity even harder. He suggested that with the right mix of policies and structural reforms, countries can unleash growth that's broadly shared across all segments of society. He spoke about how the Bank is helping countries build strong programs tailored to the unique circumstances of their economies. He highlighted the importance of education. He mentioned the proposed IDA replenishment, and reaffirmed commitment to projects on climate and on gender inclusion. In conclusion, he said that the well-designed structural reforms are needed to unlock growth and build the foundations for future prosperity. 650 4 Climate Change 650 4 Climate Change and Environment 650 4 Economic Growth 650 4 Environment 650 4 Fragile States 650 4 Gender 650 4 Governance 650 4 Inequality 650 4 International Governmental Organizations 650 4 Macroeconomics and Economic Growth 650 4 Poverty Reduction 700 1 Malpass, David. 830 0 Speeches of World Bank Presidents. 830 0 World Bank e-Library. 906 BOOK
