She is accused that, as director of the World Bank, she put pressure on employees to improve the rating of the Chinese economy, and so China’s position in the “Doing Business” ranking for 2018 has moved from 85th place to 78th place.
According to the report, Georgieva excluded Hong Kong data for political reasons. She asked “Mr. Djankov” to lead the report until its final publication, and he worked to “identify changes in China’s data that would boost the country’s performance.”
In a statement, Kristalina Georgieva stated that she did not agree with the findings.
She is expected to explain the World Bank report at an IMF meeting today.
An IMF spokesman said the forum was planned before to discuss policy priorities, and before the Fund’s and the World Bank’s annual meetings next month.
