In Conversation with the World Bank's Vice-President for MENA | ASHARQ AL-AWSAT:

"

World Bank vice president Inger Andersen. (Asharq Al-Awsat)

On her recent trip to London to attend the G8 Deauville Partnership Investment Conference, Ms. Inger Andersen, the vice-president for the Middle East and North Africa at the World Bank, spoke with Asharq Al-Awsat about the economic challenges facing the Middle East.
Ms. Andersen, an eloquent speaker of Arabic, has a great understanding of the Middle East, and a passion for the many countries of the region that she has visited. While the countries for which she is responsible make an expansive list, including the Arab world and Iran, she is currently quite concerned with Syria and the disastrous humanitarian consequences the war there has on its people and on neighboring countries."
