Indian-American Ajay Banga takes over as World Bank president

印度裔美国人阿贾伊·班加接任世界银行行长

WASHINGTON: Indian-American Ajay Banga on Friday took over as the president of the World Bank, making him the first person of colour to head either of the two global financial institutions, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.

On May 3, the executive directors of the World Bank selected Banga, 63, as the 14th president of the World Bank for a five-year term.

In February, President Joe Biden announced that the US would nominate Banga to lead the World Bank.

华盛顿：印度裔美国人阿贾伊·班加于周五接任世界银行行长，成为首位领导世界银行和国际货币基金组织这两个全球金融机构的有色人种。

5月3日，世界银行执行董事选择63岁的班加为世界银行第14任行长，任期五年。

今年2月，乔·拜登总统曾经宣布，美国国会提名班加领导世界银行。

“Join us in welcoming Ajay Banga as the new President of the World Bank Group. We are committed to creating a world free from poverty on a livable planet,” the World Bank said in a tweet with a picture of Banga entering the bank headquarters here on Friday.

“I wish Ajay Banga all the best as he takes up his new role as President of the World Bank today. I look forward to continuing the deep partnership between our institutions to do good and help those most in need,” IMF managing director Kristalina Georgieva said in a tweet.

Banga has become the first-ever Indian-American to head the World Bank. He replaces David Malpass, who announced his decision to step down in February.

世界银行在一条推文中表示：“与我们一起欢迎阿贾伊·班加出任世界银行集团新任行长。我们致力于在一个宜居的星球上创造一个没有贫困的世界。”推文中有班加周五进入银行总部的照片。

国际货币基金组织总裁克里斯塔利娜·格奥尔基耶娃在推特上表示：“我祝愿阿贾伊·班加今天就任世界银行行长时一切顺利。我期待着我们机构之间继续保持深厚的伙伴关系，为那些最需要帮助的人做好事。”。

班加成为第一位担任世界银行行长的印度裔美国人。他接替了大卫·马尔帕斯，后者于2月宣布辞职。
