NIGERIA'S Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and former Colombian Finance Minister Jose Antonio Ocampo are set to be nominated to lead the World Bank,sources with knowledge of emerging market efforts to find candidates told Reuters.
However yesterday, a spokesman to Okonjo-Iweala said she is not pursuing the World Bank’s top job, amid reports that her name was being put forth as a candidate.
“The minister has not put herself forward for the position. She is not seeking it,” Paul Nwabuikwu told Agence France Presse (AFP), though he could not say whether others have nominated her on behalf of developing nations.
He said it was “premature” to say whether she would at some point decide to pursue the job, though he added that “there seems to be some serious enthusiasm for the idea ... At this point, she has not indicated any interest.”
But Colombian the former finance minister, Ocampo, said yesterday that he and Okonjo-Iweala are candidatesto lead the World Bank.
The United States, the biggest shareholder in the World Bank and its sister institution, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), has not yet announced its candidate to lead the 187-nation development lender.
