Guy Parmelin  \nPresident of the Swiss Confederation, Head of the Department of Economic Affairs,  \nEducation and Research  \nSwitzerland  \nOn behalf of Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Poland,  \nSerbia, Switzerland, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan  \n113th Meeting of the Development Committee  \nApril 16, 2026  \nWashington, DC  \nIn a period marked by heightened uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, and overlapping global challenges, a strong, rules based multilateral system is essential for resilience and inclusive growth. Our Constituency reaffirms its steadfast support for the World Bank and its vital role in the international finance architecture. We encourage the Bank to assist countries diversify supply chains, open new markets, and attract private investment to create jobs. We also expect the Bank to remain aligned with international commitments, including the Paris Agreement.  \nJob creation rightly lies at the core of the World Bank’s development priorities. Many developing and emerging economies face rapidly expanding working age populations, persistent informality, and rising vulnerabilities. Creating more and better jobs is critical to achieving the Bank’s mission to end extreme poverty and boost shared prosperity on a livable planet. We therefore strongly support the World Bank’s emphasis on jobs as a central development driver.  \nA dynamic private sector is key to this effort. We welcome the World Bank’s three-pillar jobs strategy. In addition to robust infrastructure, a supportive business environment, and private capital mobilization, macroeconomic stability, open markets, and sound public finances are essential. Stability and predictability sustain investor confidence, while strong financial regulation and well-functioning markets expand access to finance, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises. Effective public institutions further strengthen the investment climate and reduce uncertainty.  \nIn line with the second pillar of the jobs strategy, we welcome support for business enabling reforms in job rich sectors such as agriculture, energy, healthcare, manufacturing, and tourism. At the same time, opportunities often extend beyond predefined sectors. We therefore encourage the Bank to remain responsive to country specific needs and to address both sector specific bottlenecks and cross sectoral constraints.  \nEffective reform also requires engagement beyond central governments. Where appropriate, involving subnational authorities can reduce administrative burdens, strengthen enforcement, and connect firms to formal financial and public services. This helps make reforms more inclusive and ensures they benefit both workers and enterprises.  \nWhile creating jobs is vital, the quality and formality of employment also matter. In many countries, informal and vulnerable work still predominates. We encourage the Bank to step up efforts to formalize firms and jobs, including through support for legal identity, civil registration, land and property rights, access to finance, and improved local regulation. Better jobs require not only higher incomes, but also rights at work, effective social dialogue, and access to social protection. Strong social dialogue can support more durable outcomes for both workers and firms.  \nGlobal challenges such as climate change, food
