WASHINGTON – The World Bank submitted a long-awaited “evolution road map” to its steering committee that would boost annual lending to middle-income countries to fight climate change and other global crises by about $5 billion annually while protecting the bank’s top-tier credit rating.
The bank said, according to Reuters, that the plan will be discussed with its Development Committee on April 12, during the World Bank-International Monetary Fund Spring Meetings, and discussions will follow on additional measures to boost lending, including to the world’s poorest countries.
