Ajay Banga, President of the World Bank, spoke at the World Economic Forum. He underlined how crucial economic development is to determining the state of the world today. Banga emphasised that to foster wealth, create jobs, and uphold peace, persistent development is required.

During his keynote address at the WEF 24 session, Banga said, "The reality is that we are heading into the first half of the decade having the lowest growth rates in 30 years. Without growth, you will not have jobs, You will not have prosperity, and it is often the case that without development, you will not have peace. So I think development is at the core of our challenges in both the near and medium term."
