US to nominate Jim Yong Kim for World Bank

US to nominate Jim Yong Kim for World Bank President Barack Obama will nominate Jim Yong Kim, president of Dartmouth College, to lead the World Bank.

Mr Kim, who is both a physician and anthropologist, is also a former director of the Department of HIV/AIDS at the World Health Organization. His nomination maintains the tradition of the bank’s head coming from the US, but his background at international organisations may also win the support of some developing countries which had backed non-American candidates.
