Thrilling end to a week in Seoul, with $23.7bn in donor contributions raised from a coalition of nations, to help #EndPoverty on a #LivablePlanet. @WBG_IDA will leverage this x4 to deliver $100bn over 3 years for the countries that need it most. #IDAWorks#IDA21
With the support of the global community, we can achieve a bigger and better @WBG_IDA.

Great to catch up with @WBG_IDA co-chair Sheku Sesay ahead of next week’s 4th #IDA21 Replenishment Meetings.
IDA is the best deal in development, focused on the poorest & most vulnerable, delivering transparent and measurable results for people & planet.
#WBGMeetings#IDAWorks
The World Bank’s IDA fund is essential for generating global growth and jobs.
Great to hear how #IDA funds have helped grow economies and tackle poverty.
Delivering an ambitious #IDA replenishment later this year is essential and the new UK government is going to play its part.
Insightful discussion with Ajay @WorldBank, @SecYellen, @malloch_brown, and @S_Musokotwane at the #WBGMeetings. Multilateral Development Banks are a force for good in a divided world. As we evolve, we’re working to tackle new global challenges with speed, scale, & impact.
TUNE IN as I deliver remarks at the @IMFNews and @WorldBank Annual Meetings reflecting on my call for Multilateral Development Banks to better address global challenges, make meaningful operational reforms and boost their financial capacity. https://t.co/3lYxhMqzho
Great to join discussions with #CSOs today @WBG_IDA’s Global Forum.
#IDAWorks to help millions of people in the world’s poorest countries to #EndPoverty and create a LivablePlanet.
We all agreed: a strong and successful #IDA21 replenishment in December is essential!
Action on global public goods requires global public investment!
Great discussion today @the_IDB, with MDB leaders and shareholders, on the @WorldBank Framework for Financial Incentives and other MDB mechanisms to incentivize investment in regional and global challenges.
Exciting to see Ajay announcing financial measures to boost @WorldBank lending capacity and make #IBRD loans more affordable. Next, we need to replenish @WBG_IDA, our fund for the poorest countries!
Ajay on how lowering @WorldBank's equity-to-loans ratio generates significant lending capacity. Along with other financial innovations, is helping unlock ~$150B in additional financing over the coming decade.
Watch #WBGMeetings Press Conference replay. https://t.co/CnGbl5EWwp
