The Executive Directors of the World Bank have selected Ajay Banga as President of the World Bank for a five-year term beginning June 2, 2023. US President Joe Biden announced that the US would be nominating Banga, 63, to lead the World Bank because he is “well equipped” to lead the global institution at this critical moment.
