The statement criticizes politicized treatment in World Bank Group materials, urges impartiality, and describes discriminatory obstacles faced by staff in obtaining G4 visas, calling for equitable mechanisms. It also evaluates the Development Committee paper as lacking robust, substantive dialogue.","Public Disclosure Authorized  \nPublic Disclosure Authorized  \nDEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE  \n(Joint Ministerial Committeeof the  \nBoards of Governors of the Bank and the Fundon theTransfer of Real Resources to Developing Countries)  \nONE HUNDRED AND NINTH MEETINGWASHINGTON,DC-APRIL19,2024  \nStatement by  \nAlexey OverchukDeputy Prime Minister  \nof the Russian Federation  \nDC/S/2024-0008  \nApril 19,2024  \nStatement by  \nAlexey OverchukDeputy Prime Minister  \nof the Russian Federation  \n109thMeeting of the Development Committee  \nApril 19,2024  \nWashington,DC  \n# 1.On global economy\n\nWe take note of improvement of global economy largely driven by increasing contributions of developingeconomies.The nations of the Global South are advancing and deepening their cooperation and traderelationships,paving the way for a more equitable economic framework.In contrast,major advancedeconomies,especially those within the European Union,are experiencing a worsening economic climate,largely due to politicizing of economic agenda,inadequate economic decisions including interruption ofreliable energy supply chains and emphasis on military spending.  \nIn 2023 the Russian economy has demonstrated remarkable resilience and growth.This success is supportedby increased domestic consumption and production,thriving on the back of the import substitution policy.The Russian Ministry of Economic Development forecasts that GDP growth in 2024 will surpass 2%annually,with unemployment staying at historically low levels and inflation projected to realign with theCentral Bank of Russia's target of approximately 4%by 2025.  \nThis impressive economic performance has beneficial effects on neighboring countries,specifically thosethat are members of the Eurasian Economic Union and the Commonwealth of Independent States.Advisingthese nations to sever economic relations with Russia would undermine their economic well-being and theprospects for regional collaboration and development.Therefore,we strongly encourage the WBG to adhereto its founding principles and avoid engaging in discussions that could detract from its mission.  \nIncreasing fragmentation of global economy negatively impacts development.Recognizing this trend,Russia has embraced multilateralism as a cornerstone of its chairmanship in BRICS this year.We firmlybelieve in the importance of this approach and expect the WBG to maintain its role as a universal platformfor dialogue and the exploration of solutions rather than succumbing to a geopolitical agenda that couldfurther destabilize the global economy.  \n# 2.On politicization and equal treatment and protection of all staff\n\nAs we commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the Bretton Woods Institution,it is important to reflect onthe foundational principles,which have been instrumental in fostering collaboration and facilitatingmeaningful change.Central to these principles is the apolitical mandate of our institution,as envisioned inthe Articles of Agreement.This commitment to impartiality has been a cornerstone for the World BankGroup,ensuring it remains an inclusive platform for dialogue and continues to fulfill its developmentobjectives even amidst complex circumstances.However,the situation has significantly deteriorated.  \nWe must emphasize that the biased and politicized approach followed by the Management,as evidencedby the language employed to characterize different conflicts(in Gaza,Nagorno-Karabakh,and Ukraine)invarious WBG documents,severely compromises the integrity and credibility of our institution.This biasedapproach affects the WBG's reputation as a knowledge institution,given that numerous analytical reportsdo not adequately pinpoint the underlying structural causes of the global food crisis.Additionally,these  \nreports present insufficient analysis of the Central Asian countries.It is crucial that we maintain impartialityand objectivity in these matters to avoid incurring substantial reputational harm.  \nCurrently,a number of staff members encounte","cbCaitSDkXFO1TIN","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitSDkXFO1TIN","pdf",669397,1,7,"English","en",105,"# 1.
