Bush Taps Zoellick for World Bank's Top Job
News:
WASHINGTON (May 30) - President Bush on Wednesday tapped his former trade chief and No. 2 diplomat, Robert Zoellick , to run the World Bank, embarking on a healing process to mend wounds inflicted by outgoing president Paul Wolfowitz.
Zoellick , 53, would succeed Wolfowitz, who is stepping down June 30 after findings by a special bank panel that he broke bank rules when he arranged a hefty compensation package in 2005 for his girlfriend, Shaha Riza, a bank employee. Bush's selection of Zoellick must be approved by the World Bank's 24-member board. The controversy over Wolfowitz caused a staff revolt and strained U.S. relations with Europeans and other countries and led calls for him to resign from the poverty-fighting institution. The president said Zoellick has a long career in diplomacy that has prepared him well for the job. "Bob Zoellick is deeply committed to this cause," the president said. A seasoned veteran of politics both inside the Beltway and on the international stage, Zoellick is known for pulling facts and figures off the top of his head. He also has a reputation for being a demanding boss. Internationally, the reaction to Bush's choice was generally positive, although some health groups and others expressed concern about his ability to carry out the institution's mission. " Zoellick announced last June that he was leaving his post as deputy secretary of state to join the Wall Street firm of Goldman Sachs and to work to develop investment markets around the world. If ultimately approved as World Bank chief, Zoellick will need to regain trust, rebuild credibility and mend frayed relations inside the institution as well as with its member countries around the world. The bank's new leader will try to persuade countries to contribute nearly $30 billion over the next few years to fund a centerpiece bank program that provides interest-free loans to the world's poorest countries. Zoellick could build upon strong relations he has developed worldwide as deputy secretary and U.S. Trade Representative. He was involved in peace talks in Sudan and as USTR he played a key role in negotiations to bring China into the World Trade Organization. He forged free trade deals between the United States and other countries, including Singapore, Chile, Australia and Morocco. Before taking the helm in 2005, Wolfowitz was the No. 2 official at the Pentagon and played a key role in mapping out the war in Iraq. From the beginning, Europeans and others were upset that Bush would pick someone to run the bank who was so closely associated with the war.
