| Description | In a surprise move, President Obama will nominate Dartmouth President Jim Yong Kim to serve as World Bank president on Friday, an administration official told National Journal. Kim was not among the names reportedly on the president’s short list.
Obama waited until the morning of Friday's 6 p.m. deadline for making his nomination. But even though that left room for developing nations to propose candidates, the United States, which has headed the World Bank since its inception, is still almost certain to clinch the top position. It has the largest voting share and backing of Japan, with the second-largest voting share, and European nations, Reuters reports. |
