World Bank officials say they have re-appointed Jim Yong Kim as their president for a second 5-year term. His current term will expire in June next year. Kim became World Bank president in 2012. He has been grappling with a range of challenges, from poverty in developing countries to global warming. Kim had the support of Japan, the United States, and China for his re-appointment. The focus is on how he will achieve the goal of eradicating poverty while working with the China-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and other lenders. Kim says the World Bank Group is the greatest instrument for tackling global poverty, with unmatched knowledge and financial tools. He says he looks forward to working with member countries to build a more inclusive world, free of poverty.
