Jose Antonio Ocampo To Withdraw From World Bank Presidency Race by BlackPikiN(m): 5:38pm On Apr 13, 2012 |
WASHINGTON/BRASILIA (Reuters) - Former Colombian finance minister Jose Antonio Ocampo is set to withdraw his nomination for the World Bank presidency on Friday in an agreement among emerging and developing countries to coalesce around one nominee, three sources said. Nigerian Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala would remain as the sole candidate from developing nations in a race against U.S. nominee Jim Yong Kim, a Korean-American health expert who is seen as the favorite to win the race. A straw poll among World Bank directors representing the Group of 11, which includes emerging countries and Australia, backed Okonjo-Iweala, the sources said. Emerging market nations are seeking to challenge U.S. leadership at the bank to increase their influence in global economic institutions long controlled by rich nations. While Kim is still the favorite to win the World Bank presidency because of his backing from the United States and European countries, a rigorous challenge from emerging market countries could put them in a stronger position to extract concessions favorable to their interests and also increase their odds of winning senior jobs in the future. Earlier, Brazilian Finance Minister Guido Mantega said that the BRICS group of emerging market countries is likely to make a joint decision on who to support for the World Bank top post as soon as Friday. Mantega told reporters the five countries were still discussing which candidate they would support. The BRICS group also includes Russia, India, China and South Africa. Ocampo, who met with Mantega on Thursday, said developing nations wanted a single candidate to challenge Kim.

I really love wat he has done. He pulled out at a very intense period. The American representative for the world bank is no good at all, am not sure he is experienced enough for such position. Wat does a medical doctor by profession knw about banking? If Okonjo-Iweala can win this position, developing nations will start getting developed. |

Even if South Africa signs a paper wt Mandela's blood dt they wil support Nigeria, i wil stil doubt them. If she was a Ghanian,Kenyan or South African she would av been nominated. By now. Is it really wise contending against Obama's man? I don't think so. But is it brave of her 2stay in d fight even if she eventually loses? Yes. It is better 2die fightin than 2throw in d towel at d sound of d bell. Obama is yet 2loose a battle. 1 Like |

Obama has really showed to an extent how he dislike blacks. First he did this in immigration issue and then these one. It could have been a great opportunity for him to display his love for fellow africa and black. Blacks all over the world but mainly in africa were very supportive in him being the first black american president and he should have made a black to attain this post while he as a black man is in power. Its really disappointing and imagin what blacks in america say about him and how they felt and the level they should have been by now but not it especially the immigration issue |

If anyone thinks that in the run up to American elections, Obama will show weakness by allowing his nominee to lose in a position that is almost always exclusively reserved for Americans, then that person has no idea what world politics is all about. US holds the largest votes, followed by Japan with a combined total of 25 percent!!! More likely than not, Europeans will play American games...and the man called Kim has made trips to China, India, Brazil and Moscow armed with a strategy mapped out by Timothy F. Geithner and several other treasury officials who work on global issues. Hear Kim:
That's a long pace for the Woman whose country continues to harbor the largest population of Africans living under one dollar per day several months after being sworn in as the Super-duper Minister! |

henrychubayo: I am sure you are wondering how this could be bad for Nigeria. We need Ngozi here. She is the best minister up there in Aso Rock. If this Ocampo guy withdraws, Ngozi will have more chances of winning. Being the head of world bank is good for her but we need her here. 1 Like |

I often wonder how these so called educated gurus on NL were able to graduate from the university with a Pass or Second Class lower grades,imagine people criticizing Obama for supporting KIM. Obama is the president of the United States and the entire American citizens are interested in his vote, will GEJ vote Kim and leave NOI? People should be sensible and read meaning to posts before commenting. |
