Chat live with World Bank VP for poverty reduction and economic management

The global economic and financial crisis continues to unfold. In such an uncertain time, there are a lot of questions and few certainties. Leaders around the world have recognized that the developing world will surely take its fair share of punches. The World Bank, committed to fighting poverty, has announced it will increase lending to help support the developing countries, but what else can it do to help?

On Monday, Danny Leipziger, who heads up a network of 700 economists and professionals working on policy, lending, and analysis for the World Bank’s client countries, will answer your questions in a live online discussion Nov. 24 at 12 p.m. EST. Head over to this page now to submit questions, or check back Monday morning to read his answers.
