Getting Infrastructure Right: A Call to Action

The infrastructure service gap is huge: 940 million people live without electricity, 663 million lack improved sources of drinking water, 2.4 billion lack improved sanitation facilities, 1 billion live more than 2 kilometers from an all-season road. Yet, the main impediment to investment is not lack of financing, but of good governance. Analysis shows that substantial benefits can be realized by better governance of public investment throughout its life-cycle—and that the quality of public investment management is linked to growth outcomes.  The Regional Roundtables on Infrastructure Governance  have successfully brought together governments, the private sector, and practitioners to create better approaches to tackle this issue head-on. The program moves to Asia on May 23-24 with an event in Seoul organized by the World Bank, KIND, and Korea Eximbank, in collaboration with the Asian Development Bank, Global Infrastructure Hub,  KDI School, Open Contracting Partnership, and OECD. Follow the conversation at #infragovernance.

Boosting Growth through Diversity in Financial Leadership
Globally, women lag men across the financial sector. They are underrepresented at all levels of the global financial system, from depositors and borrowers to private equity to regulators and bank board members. David Lipton, the First Deputy Managing Director, International Monetary Fund, said that of the 1.7 billion people who do not have a basic bank account, 1 billion are women. He said lower access to bank credit, for example, robs people the opportunity to provide education to children. In his welcome remarks, Hans Peter Lankes, IFC’s Vice President of Economics and Private Sector Development, said achieving better outcomes for women and improving businesses performance should not be mutually exclusive. Studies show that diversity at the board and management levels leads to improved decision-making of teams, helping boost innovation, productivity, and financial stability. In the panel discussion that followed—moderated by Bloomberg News Reporter, Saleha Mohsin—Afsaneh Mashayekhi Beschloss, CEO of the investment firm RockCreek, noted that if companies and funds ...
