Indian-American Ajay Banga was on Wednesday confirmed as the next president of the World Bank. He was poised to become president unopposed when no countries nominated any alternate member for the prestigious position while the window remained open.

US President Joe Biden had nominated Banga for the position in February to lead the World Bank saying he was “well equipped” to lead the global institution at “this critical moment in history.”
