This afternoon, I welcomed Mr. Achim Fock, the World Bank’s newly appointed Country Director for the Caribbean, on his first official visit to Jamaica.

I also took the opportunity to thank outgoing Country Director Ms. Lilia Burunciuc for her dedicated partnership over the past five years.

She developed a deep understanding of Jamaica’s priorities and worked closely with us to advance important initiatives in education, healthcare, innovation, and disaster risk management. Her support has had a lasting impact, and I wish her every success in the future.

I look forward to working with Mr. Fock as we continue strengthening our partnership with the World Bank.

Last week, Prime Minister Dr. Andrew Holness welcomed World Bank Group Vice President, Susana Cordeiro Guerra for high-level discussions on Jamaica’s recovery and reconstruction efforts following Hurricane Melissa.

[Andrew Holness @AndrewHolnessJM]

Today, I’m pleased to announce the launch of https://t.co/DLpVpnsuOv, the Government of Jamaica’s official platform to coordinate relief, mobilize support, and manage recovery efforts in the wake of Hurricane Melissa.

The site allows users to donate securely, submit pledges, report emergencies, and locate nearby shelters. It is designed to serve Jamaicans at home and abroad who wish to assist with national recovery efforts.

Please remember, if it doesn’t end with .gov.jm, it is not an official Government of Jamaica website.

HISTORIC: #IDA21 secures a record $100 billion in affordable financing for the world’s most vulnerable countries.

Global solidarity at its best.

It is good and important to be back in #Ukraine.

The incredible resilience of the Ukrainian people continue to inspire me.

As we mark 1,000 days of war, the @WorldBank Group remains committed to supporting Ukraine’s development needs — today and tomorrow.

"We wish this to be a record @WBG_IDA year. IDA financing is what gives us that extra affordability. It's concessional, it's for a long term & it's for a relatively low interest rate." —Minister Adebayo Olawale Edun, Nigeria @FinMinNigeria

We’re on our way to #IDA21 in #Seoul!

We recently had the 4th @WBG_IDA replenishment meeting in our @WorldBank HQs, where we have steadily built and refined the policy package for #IDA21.

An ambitious replenishment will support the future of people and the planet.

Action is needed now to prevent malnutrition and starvation. And longer-term solutions are needed to ensure that Haiti can one day feed itself. https://t.co/GZgQXvpvDK via @worldbank

As we approach @WBG_IDA’s final replenishment meeting in Seoul, Korea from December 5-6, support is crucial.  
Our #IDA21 policy & financing package shows how #IDAworks for countries most in need. I get into this—and more—in my latest video. Tune in!
