as you see, the world bank and imf cover the whole world. nsuing decades, other banks were created such as asian development bank, european bank for reconstruction development, and african bank. all of these banks are considered regional banks. they focus on the regional development in spite of the fact the members could be beyond the region. non-regional members as shareholders. we intend to be focusing on asia, but without limiting ourselves to asia. david: how do you work with the other mdb's? jin: we work very well in collaboration with the world bank, adb, and other banks. because the development need is so vast that no single mdb can handle this on their own. it is very much important to make sure that it works as a system. we work together as a system so that we can deal better with the global challenges like climate change. so, let me give you some examples of our cooperation. we provide $1 billion guarantee to the world bank, so that they can release the money because o ur guarantee they can release the money and to new investments.

indeed, the mood at this spring meeting of the imf and the world bank is different from what it was just six months ago at the corresponding meeting in the fall. at that time, as we remember, ukraine had a large program from the imf, as well as allies, provided ukraine with more than $40 billion in economic aid last year. now, it seems, the main task of the ukrainian delegation is to ensure... unrelenting attention to help ukraine among allies, despite other world crises, despite domestic political problems. for budgetary and defense support , help from the congress is urgently needed, the head of the national bank andriy pyshnyi told me about this in an interview, and the minister of finance janet yelen pointed out that the alternatives are actually a step away from there is no congress. let me emphasize, we are absolutely committed to supporting ukraine against the brutal russian invasion, there is no substitute. is acting in congress to provide both military and direct budget support to ukraine, and i am very hopeful for progress in congress. it cannot be replaced. however, i fear tha

william: you are here talking to the world bank in the imf and the heads of these very large international this argument to them, are they nodding along to you, are they looking skeptical to you, do they appreciate what you are talking about? melinda: i would say it has only been in the last eight years that the world and these large financial institutions have woken up to the opportunity that women present. if i look back -- 15 years when i used to come to these institutions or the u.n., we really did not talk about women. now people realize -- take the u.s., women have the most purchasing power of anybody in our own country. and so they start to see the opportunity. but they have to get their whole organization moving in that direction. william: how do you explain that chasm, the disparity that exists? again, we understand some of the societal forces at work here that we have been fighting against for generations. how do you explain that around the world? melinda: it is much the same. it is the social norms. for better or for worse, we set the worlup for males. and what is happening now

has already raised when this conflict erupted also, there was a good report that the world bank came with actually. in october and after three weeks after the war and it also pointed out the issue of the tourism that will be affected by the neighboring countries, the issue of the lower surplas and the people losing their jobs, so how do people just came out of covid-19 years ago, how will people survive? all right, that's uh obviously one of the things that concerns israel, it's his future, let's find out what martin safe thinks, martin safe rejoins us, he's a former managing editor at the... united press. martin steve, welcome back to economic divide. taking look at israel's future, uh, currently we're looking at one of the major areas that there's a disruption in, and that's a labor shortages. in terms of unemployment benefits, you had about 260,00 who have applied for these benefits, but overall you're looking at store closures and lack of employees and even for stores to get back on their feet. what are the chances of israel's economic recuperation do you think? again, you h

washington, the finance ministers of the big seven and the international monetary fund and the world bankl hear specific proposals, because the world is tired of russia, the world is tired of putin, the world is tired of the aggressive policy of the russian federation towards ukraine, to this terrorist activity. in the world are wary, and they understand what is happening in ukraine, and especially in the last few weeks, when the russian occupiers are attacking the energy infrastructure of ukraine, destroying tes and tets, trying to deprive ukrainians warmth, light, and actually everything that the civilized world is used to.

accordingly, forecasts now from various world banks, investment and so on, structures that are associatedto certain circumstances, both fundamental and geopolitical, oil may reach the level of 100 dollars, or even exceed it. meanwhile, opec slightly lowered its forecast for the growth of supply in the market; in 2 years it will add a little more than 2 million barrels per day, but demand will grow almost twice as fast. sasha, rost, they are waiting for offers, for example, from the usa and norway. thank you sasha, it was alexandra nazarova with a story about the situation on the global oil market. and let's move on to other topics. the collapse of ukraine's armed forces is highly likely to happen very soon, bloomberg writes about this with reference to western officials. according to them, ukraine is in its most vulnerable position since the conflict began. emil mersaev has all the details. kyiv's position is becoming increasingly precarious. this is exactly the epithet to describe the situation. french journalists from the publication figaro chose the battlefield; they write that after t

at the same levels , see that some world banks, in addition to not envisioning an upward trend for oil in 2024 , also consider the possibility of its decrease to $70. give bank city announced in a report that with the easing of tensions, the price of a barrel of oil will retreat to the range of 70-80 dollars. but the analyst victor katona, in addition to rejecting this claim , says: if an unpredictable disturbance in if the supply is created, the price of oil will definitely rise to $100 per barrel. experts in the gold industry consider the reduction of tensions to be the beginning of a deep correction of this market. a disappointing gdp figure for china , the world's largest consumer of gold, could raise concerns about the outlook for gold demand and limit the increase in global gold prices in the short term. if we consider this reduction of tensions in west asia, it can lead to a deep correction in the price of gold, according to experts, if the political tensions fade and the inflation rate is controlled with austerity policies in america and europe, money will go from the gold mark

now briefly about the main economic events by this hour: the world bank has improved its growth forecastcrease by 2.2% this year, and 1/2 percent next year. as for inflation, based on the results of the twenty-fourth year, she is expected. below 7%, and then drop to four in 2026. the world bank also noted an increase in consumption in the country, the reason being a significant increase in wages and an increase in government spending. mts bank has officially announced an ipo on the moscow exchange; investors will be offered shares issued as part of an additional issue. majority shareholder of bank pa. mts does not plan to sell its securities. the money received from the placement will be used to develop the business. mts bank's preparation for an ipo became known in january, when the asset was valued at up to 97 billion rubles. one of the largest ports of the uae, jabal ali , was overloaded due to... conflict in the red sea, containers are sent from here, including to russia. now delivery has become more complicated; according to the merchant , both the delivery time and the cost have in
