On this morning's #G20 video conference, I called on the G20 leaders to allow the poorest countries to suspend all repayments of official bilateral credit. This will provide critical support for the #COVID19 pandemic and shorten the time to recovery. (1/3)

At this year’s #WeFiSummit, I was encouraged to see broad-based support for empowering women through digital financial services & scalable, country-tailored programs for growth. When women are able to fully participate in the economy, countries can unlock their full potential.

Cities like Cairo, Lagos, Nairobi, and Cape Town are home to fast-growing start-up scenes. On the sidelines of #Africa2018, our private-sector arm argues that there will be many cities like Silicon Valley in the future—many of them in Africa. #IFCmarkets
