World Bank President David Malpass told Reuters exclusively that he decided to leave before his five-year contract ended because he felt work was well underway on reforms aimed at expanding the bank’s lending. The former Bear Stearns chief economist told Reuters he would support a “smooth transition” to a successor, declined comment on possible replacements, and dismissed suggestions he was pushed out.
