David Malpass: Developing nation status should not justify World Bank borrowing
World Bank borrowing and nation status

David Malpass calls for countries to end their use of developing nation status as justification for borrowing from the World Bank.

Malpass points to recent trips to Taiwan, Hong Kong, and London to support his view that such practices increase the burden on institutions like the World Bank and WTO. He urges a halt to borrowing from the World Bank's IBRD window and the expansion of preferred creditor status.

Malpass has previously called for sweeping supply-side changes to Federal Reserve models as key to lowering U.S. interest rates. He has also warned that central bankers are leveraging oil and gasoline price spikes to justify higher rates. His recent comments extend ongoing concerns about the strain on international financial institutions.
