According to Banga, the World Bank was “turning to the wind.”
He claimed that the World Bank now has a new vision and mission as a result of months of evolution.

One that will spur significant development, improve living conditions, and provide access to clean water, air, education, and adequate healthcare. He declared, “It is a mission that includes everyone, including women and young people.

He said that the new goal also covered resilience to shocks, such as protection against pandemics, fragility, and crises related to the environment and biodiversity.
