Meeting of Undersecretary of State Paweł Karbownik with the delegation of the World Bank Group24.09.2024
On September 24, 2024, Deputy Minister of Finance Paweł Karbownik met with a delegation from the World Bank, led by Anna Akhalkatsi, Director for EU countries at the World Bank, and Ines Rocha, Regional Director for Europe at the International Finance Corporation (IFC). The conversation focused on current cooperation with the Bank and plans for the near future. The participants discussed cooperation in flood protection and water retention projects in Poland. In particular, the conversation focused on a new investment project in flood and drought prevention, which is to be co-financed by a World Bank loan. The Bank representatives also presented the assumptions of the new cooperation strategy with Poland for 2025-2029. As noted by Deputy Minister Paweł Karbownik, increasing the competitiveness of the Polish economy, energy transformation and adaptation to current challenges, including severe climate phenomena, create the basis for further cooperation with the World Bank Group. The discussion also concerned the Climate and Development Report (CCDR) for Poland, which the Bank plans to publish in early November 2024. This document will be an important point of reference for future actions in the field of sustainable development and combating climate change.
