Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is, unfortunately, not American enough to be president
of the world bank herself. But the president of the world bank is smart enough
to appoint
her managing director – a very senior position (see the new,
org charts for an indication of the responsibilities that managing directors
hold) at the organization she has worked for for most of her professional life.
Congratulations to both Ngozi and Bob Zoellick.
