Wrapping up my UAE visit, I spoke with @SNABusiness about jobs, growth, and what it takes to drive development. The UAE is a vital @WorldBankGroup partner in sharing knowledge and innovation with countries advancing their development journeys.

Productive exchange with @mofauae on preparations for #UNWC26. #WaterForward offers an excellent opportunity for concrete, country-level investments & progress on key priorities, including the water-health nexus. @WorldBankGroup values its partnership with UAE in the water sector

Nearly 2/3 of economies have seen growth forecasts downgraded since January, a stark reminder of the impact of ongoing conflict. The @WorldBankGroup is availing $60 billion, with capacity to scale to $100 billion if needed, to support affected countries.

Removing bureaucratic hurdles is one of the fastest ways to unlock growth, innovation, and impact at scale. Great meeting with H.E. Mohamed Bin Taliah on how we are taking the UAE's experience in government effectiveness and innovation to the world and the @WorldBankGroup!

Important meeting with @Denys_Shmyhal to discuss our joint work on Ukraine’s future energy strategy. Deploying the country's resource endowment, implementing business reforms, and aligning with the EU energy market agenda will build resilience and drive prosperity.
