The World Bank confirmed that Banga, who had a decade-long career in Mastercard, would take over from David Malpass as the next President.

The development lender disclosed that Banga would pioneer the institution for five years.

The World Bank said it is optimistic that Banga would use his experience to achieve Banks’ “ambitions and efforts to tackle the toughest development challenges facing developing countries.”
