US EditionWorld Bank Could Provide up to $100 Billion in Funds for Countries Hit by War, Banga Says
- World Bank President Ajay Banga announced on Tuesday plans to mobilize $80 billion to $100 billion over 15 months to support nations impacted by the ongoing Middle East conflict.
- This effort intends to exceed the $70 billion provided during the COVID pandemic, reflecting global leaders' recognition that the war significantly strains economic growth and inflation worldwide.
- Banga detailed a tiered strategy with $20 billion to $25 billion accessible through a crisis response window allowing up to 10% early withdrawals, plus $30 billion to $40 billion from repurposing existing programs within six months.
- International Monetary Fund Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva urged nations to adopt narrowly targeted, temporary energy measures rather than broad subsidies, warning that market instability will persist even if the conflict ends soon.
- Should the conflict extend beyond the anticipated timeframe, the World Bank would leverage its balance sheet and financial headroom to explore additional funding options and meet the full $80 billion to $100 billion goal.
