World Bank says even threat of U.S. default hurts emerging markets
(Reuters) – World Bank President Jim Yong Kim on Wednesday said even the threat of a U.S. default could hurt emerging markets and the world’s most vulnerable people.
“We’re very concerned. Because right now there’s so many headwinds as it is for emerging markets and the developing world, that that kind of impact really could be devastating,” Kim said in an interview with CNN broadcast live at the World Bank, the Washington-based poverty-fighting institution.
