David Malpass emerges as leading contender to head World Bank (Financial Times)

From the article:

“Malpass would represent a remarkably hostile choice to run the institution,” said Scott Morris of the Center for Global Development, a think-tank in Washington. “His views are fundamentally misaligned with those of the bank’s other shareholders.”
