Chairman Pruaitch,

Madame

Lagarde,

Governors,

my

friends

Jim

and Elaine

Wolfensohn, Mrs.

Robert McNamara, partners, and friends:

普鲁艾奇主席，拉加德女士，各位理事，我的朋友吉姆和伊莱恩

·

沃尔芬森，罗伯特

·

麦克纳

马拉夫人，各位合作伙伴，朋友们：

It is wonderful to see you again.

再次见到各位真是太好了。

First, I’d like to congratulate the winners of the Nobel Peace Prize, Malala Yousafzai and Kailash

Satyarthi. Just one year ago, Malala and I sat together on a stage at the World Bank. She is an

inspiration to all of us, and gives us hope for the new generation

–

especially the new generation

of girls.

首先，

我想对诺贝尔和平奖得主马拉拉和萨蒂亚尔蒂表示祝贺。

就在一 年前，

马拉拉和我一

起坐在世界银行的讲台上。

她对我们大家是一个鼓舞，

让我们对新一代、

特别是新 一代女童

充满希望。

When we were together last year,

I spoke at length about the World Bank Group’s plans fo

r its

most significant reorganization in nearly two decades. Our goal was to ensure that we were fit for

the

purpose

of

meeting

our

twin

goals:

ending

extreme

poverty

by

2030,

and

boosting

shared

prosperity for the poorest 40 percent in developing countries.

< /p>

在去年年会时，我详细介绍了世界银行近

20

年来最重要的改组计划，我们的目标是确保世

行能够胜任两大目标：

到

2030

年终结极度贫困，

促进发展中国家

40%

最贫困人口共享繁荣。

< br>

During

the

last

year,

our

reorganization

has

been

a

monumental

undertaking.

The

World

Bank

Group has more than 16,000 staff, and about 7,000 of them have been transferred or remapped to

new jobs. We have offices in more than 100 countries. And we made loans and investments last

year totaling more than $$60 billion dollars. The reorganization was launched with a clear purpose:

We needed to be the best in the world at collecting and sharing development knowledge for the

benefit of all our clients.

在过去一年里，我们的改组工作任务繁重。 世界银行集团有员工

1.6

万多人，其中约

7000

人被调到或重新划分到新的工作岗位。

我们在

100

多个国家设有办事处，

我们去年的贷 款和

投资总额突破

600

亿美元。

改组启动时的目标很明确：

我们需要在收集和分享发展知识惠及

全体客户方面达到最佳状态。

Starting

in

July,

we

set

up

19

different

communities

of

experts

–

groups

of

some

of

the

best

development professionals

in the world on water, finance, education, and climate,

among

many

others. Their job is to seek out the best solutions to the most difficult development problems, and

to share those solutions with our clients in a way that will further our mission to end poverty and

boost shared prosperity.

从

7

月份开 始，我们建立了

19

个发展实践局，集中了包括水、金融、教育 和气候等领域的

一批世界顶尖的发展专业人才。他们的任务是探索针对最棘手的发展难题 的最佳解决方案，

并本着推进终结贫困和促进共享繁荣的使命，与我们的客户分享这些解 决方案。

At

the

same

time,

we

knew

that

we

needed

to

substantially

increase

our

ability

to

provide

financing,

risk

management

products,

and

other

financial

services,

to

middle-income

countries.

Through the creative and intense work of our finance group, brilliantly led by Bertrand Badré

, we

have increased our annual lending capacity for these emerging economies, from $$15 billion dollars

to more than $$25 billion per year. This flexibility will help us direct more resources to the areas

that need them most

–

sub-

Saharan Africa and South Asia, which is where most of the world’s

poorest people live.

与此同时，

我们知道我们需要显著提高向中等收入国家提供融资、

风险管理工具以及其他金

融服务的能力。

通过我们财政团队 在伯特兰

·

巴德尔的英明领导下开展的创造性的紧张工作，

我们把对这些新兴经济体的年贷款能力从每年

150

亿美元增加到

250

多亿美元。

这种灵活度

将有助于我们向最需要的地区、

即占世界贫困人口 最多的撒哈拉以南非洲和南亚输送更多的

资源。

Economic growth is the most powerful tool we have to end poverty, yet without infrastructure

–

electricity, water, and roads

–

growth will never take off. As I will explain, the world’s deficit of

these building blocks for growth is substantial. Just think about the fact that sub-Saharan Africa

generates as much power in a year as Spain. If we are to end poverty, we need to power Africa.

经济增长是我们终结贫困的最有力的工具。

< br>但在没有电、

水和路等基础设施的情况下，
