At #WBmeetings townhall with civil society, @WorldBank President Ajay Banga says “we will need a bigger bank” — with more lending comes more risk, and it is critical for the Bank to strengthen its accountability mechanisms and systems for remedying harm as it takes on that risk

In his opening remarks, Banga said that the new vision of the @WorldBank should be responsive to its pillars, including #People. As the @InspectionPanel Chair said in a panel earlier today, this requires the Bank to view #Accountability constructively, rather than defensively.
