The featured speakers for the World Bank’s 2026 Annual Bank Conference on Development Economics (ABCDE) are like a quiz for third-graders … “Which of the four is not like the other ?”
We see the distinguished World Bank Chief Economist, a Nobel winner, a likely Nobel winner, and a climate denialist.
This is not a tough quiz.
It is not enough for WB President Ajay Banga to grovel before the White House about climate (and much else), it is not enough that the Bank had to waste years on Malpass’ wicked dishonesty, now the Bank offers a platform for stupid opinions at what is supposed to be a forum for “the world’s leading economic thinkers”.
