Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE (Joint Ministerial Committee of the Boards of Governors ofthe Bank and the Fund on the Transfer of Real Resources to Developing Countries) ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTH MEETING WASHINGTON, DC – OCTOBER 14, 2022 DC/S/2022-0062 October 14, 2022 Statement by Ignazio Visco Governor of the Bank of Italy Constituency of Albania, Greece, Italy, Malta, Portugal, San Marino, and Timor-Leste Statement by Ignazio Visco Governor of the Bank of Italy Constituency of Albania, Greece, Italy, Malta, Portugal, San Marino, and Timor-Leste 106th Meeting of the Development Committee October 14, 2022 Washington, DC For eight months now, the world has been shocked by Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, which we strongly condemn, as it constitutes both a breach of international law and a blatant violation of the fundamental principles of international peace and security. We mourn the loss of human life and the destruction of homes and public infrastructure in Ukraine and admire the Ukrainian people’s courageous struggle for freedom and independence. The latest forecasts indicate a marked slowdown in the world economy, as increases in the cost of energy and food are eroding household purchasing power, slowing down investment by heightening uncertainty and undermining confidence, and forcing central banks to tighten monetary policies to curb consumer price growth. This adds to the repercussions ofthe Covid-19 pandemic that are still being felt in some countries. A global recession cannot be ruled out. In such a case, emerging and developing economies—already suffering higher interest rates, reduced capital inflows and the strong appreciation of the dollar—would experience severe consequences, making already alarming debt crises even worse. It would very likely trigger a new increase in poverty, adding to the World Bank’s estimate of 75 to 95 million “new” poor created by the pandemic and the immediate effect of the war. In the last three years, the World Bank Group (WBG) has been called upon to significantly increase its financing. It has acted quickly to support the most vulnerable, while maintaining focus on long-term development goals. It has also provided highly commendable leadership in facilitating coordinated, readily available financial support to the Ukrainian people and government. It is imperative to further scale up this effort, together with other international financial institutions and development partners. Emerging and developing economies are facing extraordinary, simultaneous challenges: food insecurity; a lack of equitable and affordable energy access; the urgent need for climate change mitigation and adaptation; pandemic-related risks; learning losses; debt distress; and flows of migrants, refugees and internally displaced people. Responding to these challenges requires financing, but also an effective use of knowledge. This means dataintensive and evidence-based analysis of needs, careful assessment of country priorities, and an efficient and targeted use of the WBG’s analytics and advisory services. We call for a reinforced commitment to outcome-oriented programs and impact assessment with a view of strengthening effectiveness and reputation. A results-based approach and narrative is important for client countries, who can learn how to make their policies more effective, and for donors, who need to know to what extent their resources reach the desired development goals. The WBG’s actions concerning education, pandemic prevention and preparedness, climate change, food insecurity, debt, and migrations are prominent examples of its knowledge agenda moving in a direction that we wholly sustain. The pandemic has had devastating long-term impacts on learning, especially for the young. Losses have been larger in those low-and middle-income countries where the learning poverty rate was already high. We stron
