He added that the Bank should continue to be “a listening Bank” that it has been, where its surgical interventions are aligned with the development aspirations of member countries. This will be a unique selling proposition for the Bank. The Bank should stay away from conditionalities whilst aligning with the national development agenda of member countries.
“For the Bank’s aspirations for the next 10 years, the statement should include extending support to Muslims in non-member countries,” he unveiled.
