The Hardest Job in the World

July 28, 2005
St. Petersburg Times cites CGD’s recent World Bank working group report, The Hardest Job in the World: Five Crucial Tasks for the New President of the World Bank
The June 25, 2005 editorial states, "It's no accident a recent report on Wolfowitz's new position by the Center for Global Development was titled "The Hardest Job in the World." It offers some suggestions, including resisting ideological pressure from the bank's wealthy shareholders, expanding activities in poor and middle-income countries with huge poverty problems such as China and India, developing more savvy about each country's political realities, increasing the seats for African countries on its board and providing more transparency on how the bank's president is chosen."
