Green rethink : BlackRock s Fink urges World Bank, IMF overhaul

Green ‘rethink’: BlackRock’s Fink urges World Bank, IMF overhaul We’re sorry, this service is currently unavailable. Please try again later. Dismiss By Erik Schatzker Normal text size Advertisement BlackRock chief executive officer Larry Fink told global leaders the World Bank and International Monetary Fund are outdated and require a total overhaul if they’re to marshall the trillions of dollars in investment needed to bring sustainability to the developing world. Specifically, he called for a “rethink” of their role as financiers – instead of lending money themselves to promote development and economic stability, the World Bank and IMF would be more useful in the transition to clean energy as insurers that reduce risk for private investors. Fink commented in prepared remarks to the Venice International Conference on Climate, part of the weekend meetings of the Group of 20 in Italy.

Specifically, he called for a “rethink” of their role as financiers instead of lending money themselves to promote development and economic stability, the World Bank and IMF would be more useful in the transition to clean energy as insurers that reduce risk for private investors. Fink commented in prepared remarks to the Venice International Conference on Climate, part of the weekend meetings of the Group of 20 in Italy. “There is private capital that can be mobilized for the emerging markets, but we need to rethink the way the international financial institutions can support low-carbon investments at scale,” he said of the two organizations established 77 years ago in the waning days of World War II. “We need a financing system that isn’t built around bank balance sheets.”

G-20 panel calls for $100b in urgent reforms over next five years to combat pandemics

SINGAPORE - Future pandemics will be more frequent and deadly, and the world cannot wait for Covid-19 to be over before it makes urgent global investments and reforms. This needs at least US$75 billion (S$101 billion) over the next five years - more than what the international community has been willing to spend, but negligible compared with the costs of another major pandemic - a committee of leading global experts told leaders of the world s largest economies gathered in Venice on Friday (July 9). The Group of 20 (G-20) panel, co-chaired by Senior Minister and Coordinating Minister for Social Policies Tharman Shanmugaratnam, among others, said pandemics will cost governments 700 times what it is proposing in yearly additional international investments.
