World Bank’s China exit could lead to ‘shrinking balance sheet’, says green finance specialist
World Bank’s planned phase‑out of lending to China by 2031 removes a reliable borrower, risking a smaller balance sheet unless governance and lending rules are updated to channel more capital into riskier, lower‑income countries, according to green finance specialist Christoph Nedopil Wang.
Improved water pricing can crowd much-needed investments into the water cycle and facilitate transfers from advanced to developing economies, the bank’s economists told Eco-Business.
Sunil Acharya, Oxfam’s policy and campaigns coordinator for Asia, tells Eco-Business why he thinks the greater use of guarantees to mobilise financing in the private sector is problematic, especially as MDB lending is still at market rates. Globally, the charity is pushing to “decolonise the aid sector” which it says is broken.
