He is not a politician. He is a technocrat heading a global institution. And he responded correctly speaking to the issues and how their are being tackled in his agency. Policy is the role of politicians.
This is a great summary by the head of the World Bank. As seemingly intractable as the challenges may be, we need a balanced and sensible approach to complex issues like global trade and climate change, as there are no silver bullets, so they do not become divergent to the point of deconstructive realities for the people and our planet.
Banga is providing great answers and is positioning the World Bank well, *but* you cannot ignore that climate adaptation and mitigation is a cost. His hospital example is great: A short-term focus would be cheaper if you ignore potential flooding, drought, storm threats etc. And even the energy discussion he touches upon with regulatory red tape etc. suggests energy adaptation comes at no extra cost. That's an insufficient summary.
The silent racism that laces this comment is precisely why, if you don't stop seeing the world through the lens of identity politics, you will continue to misunderstand why people who may not like trump could be driven to vote for him. It's not 2001 anymore, almost every reasonable person does not care about a turban. You see people with turbans on the daily if you live in certain big city's. The only party seeing things through a racial disparity at the moment is the left. I wont say all, but a majority of the modern day republican party has been rooting for a return of common sense policy. The right loses in 2020, who do they blame? The system. The left loses in 2024, who do they blame? Certain ethnic groups that didn't turn out and vote for them. Blanketing 76,394,853 (current count on 11/16) people as bigots is just disingenuous.
In almost every case I can think of outside of your immediate family, at some point you will run out of the generosity of others if you don't contribute in roughly the same proportion yourself.
With great respect for President Banga, it's very difficult to understand him through the thick accent. English as second language speakers should pay more attention to mastering conventional accents of the acquired second language if they wish to communicate effectively with native speakers of that language. I say this humbly as a monolinguistic speaker of English.
You do realize that more Indians speak English than English people do, lol? Indian English is dialect in its own right. Plus, even if you think his accent is incomprehensible, you should remember that this is the world bank, and the ‘world’ does not just include the Anglosphere.
@@achyuthansanal Thanks for the well balanced contribution. As someone who can't even parody an Indian accent I can appreciate the difficulty of mastering indigenous pronunciations. I live in California and try my best to speak what little Spanish I do with a proper accent but it's difficult and I sometimes get tongue-twisted.
Which English accent should he try to master? Cockney? Geordie? Jamaican? The Californian Valley accent? English has so many regional accents amongst native speakers that sometimes we don't even understand each other! I don't give non-native speakers a hard time about not sounding "English". His accent might have been strong, but his pronunciation and grammar were correct.That' s enough for me.

I like how Mr. Banga respectfully and professionally responded. No political bias, only economic facts. 🤝
Of course there's bias - this is economics
@@BlueSoulTiger You can say that about anything, but people can still try to be unbiased.

Right? I can’t help but wonder if the video editor is quite quitting. I mean, that’s your boss.

We need to stop getting $1 items with free shipping from China
Do you expect Trump supporters to listen more than 2 sec a guy with a turban ?
There’s more to the world than America
They’re too ignorant. They won’t listen to anyone other than Trump

You've change the thumbnail. Thanks.

Change the thumbnail image 😅
Well said Mr. Banga.
I thought Ajay Banga is a greeting from a language but turns out it's just his name 😂😂😂
Nothing much to know. It already there .
Love this format, thank you.
He seems to be paraphrasing the Americans, no insight
Haha...it's not all about America! He's president of the 'world' bank!
This guy's face looks like a mask. The bags under his eyes are a different color than his face.
Indians are ruling the world
Just Take Vivek Ramaswamy ,will you?
Multilateral organization isn't the world 😅
Esp that Climate Woke! A Minority 😅😅
TRUMP TRICECTA VICTORY IS INDEED A GRAND SLAM FOR THE WORLD😅
@@Cerceify4645e born in America not in india😊
The guy speaks complete gibberish
Just because you’re not intelligent enough to understand him doesn’t not mean he’s speaking gibberish
Try listening?
Lol

Clearly, you are not a part of his audience… Ms.Beddoes doesn’t seem to have any difficulty in understanding him.
Go President Trump! The people of the USA support you 100%.
50.1% (of those who voted)
.... And 50.1% of those who voted, that's already a lot of idiots!
