Sheikh Salman bin Khalifa Al Khalifa","Statement delivered at the 112th meeting of the Development Committee addresses persistent instability in the Middle East and North Africa and the enduring human and economic damage from the Gaza conflict. It highlights overlapping structural challenges, including youth unemployment, low female labor force participation, and learning poverty, and emphasizes the indispensable implementation of the WBG Fragility, Conflict and Violence (FCV) Strategy. The statement calls for scaling support for fragile and conflict situations through country ownership, reconstruction and recovery frameworks, and expanded diagnostics, alongside guarantee and IFC financing innovations.","Public Disclosure Authorized  \nPublic Disclosure Authorized  \nDEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE  \n(Joint Ministerial Committeeof the  \nBoards of Governors of the Bank and the Fundon

\nStatement by  \nH.E.Sheikh Salman bin Khalifa AI KhalifaMinister of Finance and National Economy  \nKingdom of Bahrain  \non behalf of Bahrain,Egypt,Iraq,Jordan,Kuwait,Lebanon,Maldives,Oman,Qatar,United ArabEmirates,and Yemen  \n# 112h Meeting of the Development Committee\n\nOctober 16,2025  \nWashington,DC  \nThe Middle East and North Africa continue to face deep instability.While the recent announcement of aceasefire in Gaza offers a moment of relief,it does not in any way erase the immeasurable human sufferingand catastrophic toll of the war which has had and continues to cause lasting damage to the region'seconomic and social resilience and beyond.Alongside this conflict,our countries confront entrenchedstructural challenges—record youth unemployment,persistently low female labor force participation,andlearning poverty that threatens to lock an entire generation out of opportunity.These overlapping crises arenot isolated;they spill through trade,investment flows,and displacement pressures,straining our collectivestability.  \nThe effective implementation of the WBG Fragility,Conflict and Violence(FCV)Strategy is indispensablefor our region,where protracted conflict,displacement,and institutional fragility threaten to erase hard-won development gains,restore critical financing,enhance institutional resilience,and provide services tovulnerable populations and mitigate the spillover effect on neighboring countries.We welcome the FCVStrategy's enhanced support to countries affected by fragility and conflict.It is crucial for the IFC 2030agenda to scale up support to fragile and conflict situations(FCS).We emphasize that country ownershipshould remain the cornerstone of all engagements in FCS,and we expect the Bank to seize transitionwindows with agility and to establish a firm reconstruction and recovery framework for coordinated,proactive response across the region.It is crucial that the new FCV strategy builds on the IDA21commitment to remain engaged and strengthens its capacity to stay engaged in countries facing conflict,while exploring ways to implement projects through government institutions to enhance country ownership,national institutions and state legitimacy.Establishing a comprehensive reconstruction and recoveryframework would enable a more coordinated,proactive,and responsive approach to recovery andreconstruction across the region.  \nWe commend the Bank's intensified country diagnostic work,including Country Growth &Jobs Reportsand Country Private Sector Diagnostics,which help sharpen reform roadmaps.Progress in digital inclusion,energy transition,and private sector mobilization in fragile contexts is encouraging,reaffirming the WBG'spotential as a development anchor.However,the scale of disruption demands that the pace,ambition,andrisk appetite continue to grow.  \nComplementing these efforts,the Guarantee Platform,now unifying guarantee products under MIGA,issimplifying access to risk-sharing tools and unlocking private capital at greater scale.Amid declining FDIflows to IDA countries,the platform is pivoting toward short-term trade finance guarantees,policy-basedand partial credit guarantees in blend countries,and capital optimization guarantees in IBRD countries.These innovations are critical to unlocking private capital in fragile and underserved markets.  \nWe also note IFC's efforts to mobilize private capital and deliver impact in fragile and middle-incomecontexts.The
