Mari Pangestu
Co-Chair of the GIF Advisory Council and Managing Director of Development Policy & Partnerships, World Bank
On assuming her role as the new GIF Advisory Council Co-Chair and providing opening remarks at the GIF Advisory Council Meeting on May 10, 2021, Ms. Pangestu said:
“As we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, infrastructure, and the private sector are key to building back better, requiring sizable investments and global coordination. Facilities like the GIF play a critical role in mobilizing the private sector by building pipelines of sustainable, quality, bankable infrastructure projects and, more broadly, promoting infrastructure as an asset class. I’m pleased to be part of this essential work as part of our efforts to help developing countries get back on track, towards green, resilient and inclusive development.”
