Gender discrimination in finance holds back women – and investment
We need more women in senior roles in finance to build inclusive institutions and allocate capital more rationally and fairly.
Given the escalating climate crisis, multilateral lenders must urgently adopt an approach to development aid that emphasises prevention. By incorporating structural vulnerabilities into their allocation formulas, the World Bank and others can strengthen poor countries' resilience and increase fairness, efficiency, and transparency.
