President of the World Bank Group,DAVID R. MALPASS世界銀行グループ(WBG)総裁デイビッド・R・マルパスThe World Bank Group (WBG) welcomes the work of Japan’s G20 Presidency to enhance development outcomes through country platforms. Collaboration between development partners, including all multilateral development banks (MDBs), is critical to ensure that developing countries realize the full benet of increased nancial ows. Larger volumes of nance from MDBs, bilateral donors, vertical funds, and the private sector offer the opportunity to accelerate development, but they do not guarantee it. Low design and implementation capacity and uncoordinated ows could undermine development goals by nancing low-priority investments, tolerating lower standards, or accepting lending terms that push some countries into unsustainable debt. Effective Country Platforms can mobilize different development partners to unlock public and private investments and maximize their impact as a group. Cohesive and complementary operations between development partners will help scale up private sector investment and create accountability. Cooperation within such platforms will also enable enhanced coordination around crisis prevention and rapid response in times of crisis. Lastly, greater coordination will also spur progress towards the achievement of goals regarding global public goods. The publication of the Eminent Persons Group Report on Global Financial Governance highlighted the importance of greater collaboration between development actors. The G20 – under Japan’s leadership and the co-chairmanship of France and Korea – developed High-Level Principles for the establishment of Country Platforms. In practice, collaboration means information-sharing. Transparency is essential. It also means discussing which activities and policy changes will have the greatest impact on people’s lives. For this larger collaboration to work, we will need strong leadership – and transparency – from developing countries themselves.At the World Bank Group, our country-based model is aligned with the G20’s initiative to develop Country Platforms. Our client countries are also shareholders, and our operations are designed for impact. We publish what we fund, and carry out strategic, forward-looking analysis such as our Systematic Country Diagnostics, Poverty Assessments, Public Expenditure Reviews, and Debt Sustainability Analyses. We share our experience with other MDBs, and we are ready to enhance our collaboration with all development partners, and with the G20, to pilot a new generation of Country Platforms for greater impact.With global extreme poverty remaining at over 700 million people, our mission is more urgent than ever. It is imperative to maximize the development and growth impact of nancial ows available to poor countries. It is critical that we work tirelessly to strive for positive outcomes, including raising median incomes, fostering broad-based growth, reducing extreme poverty, creating jobs, and empowering women and youth to support a stronger, more stable global economy for everyone.̶開会に向けて̶MESSAGE8 ファイナンス 2019 May
