The World Bank should push ahead with its efforts to deliver $160 billion in coronavirus aid by June 2021 and explore additional emergency financing and debt relief for developing countries, the bank's steering committee has said.
In a communique, the joint World Bank and International Monetary Fund Development Committee said the “bold and decisive” response should be accompanied by a review of the World Bank Group's financial capacity beyond the current fiscal year to ensure that it remains “adequately capitalised to fulfill its mandate.”
