World Bank President Robert Zoellick Speaks at GW

World Bank Group President Robert B. Zoellick said the "time for muddling through is over" and all countries needed to be "responsible stakeholders" in the world economy; they need to act on today's problems while building for tomorrow's challenges; they need to solve national issues with an eye towards shaping a healthy international system.

In a speech at George Washington University entitled "Beyond Aid", Zoellick said the world needs to recognize the new realities, unimaginable in 1944 when the World Bank was created, and move to a global system that integrates developed and developing countries, innovation, private investment, and the 50 percent of the world's population too often kept behind -- women.
