Extreme heat is costing South Asia nearly 31 million full-time jobs every year and could sink the region’s economy by 7% by 2050.
A new @WorldBankGroup report lays out what's at stake and priority actions to tackle it: worldbank.org/en/region/sar/…

Thank you, Ilan. It was a pleasure meeting to discuss how the @WorldBankGroup and @the_IDB can deepen our partnership to help countries tackle shared development challenges.
By combining knowledge, experience, and financing, we can scale solutions that improve lives.

Education is the foundation of progress.
A pleasure meeting w/ @unicefchief Catherine Russell to discuss how strong learning systems, combined with the right use of technology, can equip more young people with the skills they need for jobs & a more prosperous future.

Delighted to review Mariana Mazzucato's latest book for @IrishTimes. A thoughtful and elegant contribution to one of today's most important debates: the role of the modern state in driving innovation, growth, and the common good. #Books

Strong primary healthcare is the foundation of better health outcomes.
During his visit to #Egypt, @WorldBankGroup's @Paschald visited primary healthcare facilities in Ismailia to see Egypt's Universal Health Insurance System in action.
📹 Watch the video for his reflections!

Egypt has the talent and ambition to compete in the digital economy. As countries compete for technology investment, knowledge is becoming as important as finance. Sharing what works on digital regulation and data governance can unlock innovation, investment, and jobs.

Some of the most important conversations I had in Egypt did not take place in meeting rooms. They took place in a primary healthcare center in Ismailia, where I met doctors and nurses working every day to bring quality care closer to their communities. 🇪🇬

Thank you, Minister @malkassabi. Delighted to strengthen our partnership through the Riyadh Global Knowledge Hub. When countries share what works, they help others create more jobs, strengthen competitiveness, and accelerate growth.

Egypt's digital transformation is creating new opportunities for growth, investment, & jobs.
In Cairo, I met Prime Minister H.E. Dr. Mostafa Madbouly and his cabinet to discuss how the @WorldBankGroup can support Egypt's reform agenda & transition to private sector-led growth.

Next stop: Cairo. My reading for this visit is "The Political Economy of Reforms in Egypt" by Dr. Khalid Ikram.
Every country's reform journey is unique. Understanding a country's economic history is the first step toward understanding its future.

Culture, heritage, & tourism are powerful drivers of growth, job creation, & community development.
It was a pleasure to see this in action during my visit to @DiriyahCo, where investment in heritage is creating new opportunities for people, businesses, & future generations.

Imagine a patient receiving specialist care through the world's largest virtual hospital. It's already happening in Saudi Arabia. Visits to the SEHA Virtual Hospital & the Saudi Data & Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) showed how AI can improve lives & public services.

On my way to Riyadh.
I’ve been reading Saudi Arabia: A Modern History by David Commins—a fascinating account of the Kingdom’s evolution & its drive toward a more diversified, knowledge-driven economy.
Looking forward to learning from our partners & Saudi Arabia’s experience.

A great conversation with Professor Bhaskar Chakravorti on how small AI can help solve real-world challenges — from healthcare to farming—and expand opportunity across developing economies.
“𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿. 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲.”
Bhaskar Chakravorti, Dean of Global Business @TuftsUniversity, explains how purpose-driven, specialized AI can tackle real-world challenges from healthcare to farming and improve lives across developing economies.

Every career begins with an opportunity. Delighted to welcome this year's @WorldBankGroup High School Interns.
Thanks to our partnership w/ @UrbanAlliance, they'll spend the summer building skills, gaining experience, & preparing for the future. Best of luck to our new cohort!

Global public goods—climate, health, biodiversity, peace & security—are the foundations of growth. As I discussed at #HSC2026, smarter development cooperation means keeping jobs at the centre.

Hello, Hamburg.
Looking forward to the conversations at the 3rd Hamburg Sustainability Conference.
Together with partners, the private sector, MDBs, and Germany, we can advance smart development that creates jobs, strengthens resilience, and addresses climate change. #HSC26

Early learning lays the foundation for future success.
With support from @WBG_IDA and @GPforEducation, Uzbekistan has tripled the number of public preschools, helping more children gain the skills and opportunities they need to thrive.
