Not interested to lead WB: Yunus


DHAKA NEWS

Nobel Laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus on Friday said he has no interest in becoming the president of the World Bank as he wants to dedicate his life to social business.

“As a regular critic of World Bank, I have criticised the regulation and activities of the bank for a long time. In addition, the post of the World Bank chief is allocated for US citizens only, which is also a matter of my criticism,” he said in a statement.

“I have no interest in taking the responsibilities of the position of World Bank chief,” Dr Yunus said days after the prime minister proposed to the visiting European Union’s parliamentary delegation to make the microcredit pioneer head of World Bank.
