The Pope looked ahead to Saturday's World Bank Spring
Meeting in Washinton DC and urged participants to push for policies that favour
economic inclusion and promote the lives of the poorest of our planet.
By Linda Bordoni
Pope Francis expressed hope that the
upcoming World Bank Meeting may yield positive results that
favour “an authentic integral development that is respectful of human dignity.”
Speaking on Wednesday at the conclusion of the General
Audience in St. Peter’s Square, the Pope mentioned Saturday’s World
Bank Spring Meeting in Washington and encouraged participants to make “efforts
for financial inclusion that aim to promote the life of the poor.”
The Spring Meetings of the International Monetary and the
World Bank Group each year bring together central bankers, ministers of finance
and development, private sector executives and other experts to discuss
economic issues of global concern.
This year’s Spring Meetings events are taking place in
Washington, DC, between 16 and 22 April.
