On the other hand at this point lot if money us going into tech now. How it will pay off we don't know. So in a sense WB doesn't want lo take too many risks.

That's where momentum comes in,he is a traditional investor interested in long term trades whereas tech gives much high returns in relatively shorter period.
Looking at what the world is moving towards -AI,IOT ,IR 4.He may need new strategies.
He doesn't want to take risks but others will.

That's MPI indeed which uses a broader concept of poverty than income and wealth alone.

But if its income and wealth alone the figures are very different.


Pakistan as per the world bank 2015 the MPI percentage is 24.3% on 197,000,000 people (2017)

There's another thread running on it;'

Pakistan doesn't have 80 million people in poverty as they would have been on this data from the World Bank.

The 24.3% seems to be by national poverty level threshold rather than MPI.

You are right about income poverty wise, Pakistan is doing the best in subcontinent (its below 3% and not even considered as "in poverty"):

Whole region has long way to go to reducing Multi-spectrum poverty (MPI)...lets hope for the best!

According to Wiki, she has consistently ranked among the world's 100 most powerful women. In 2014, she was ranked at number 13 on the Forbes list of The World's 100 Most Powerful Women, and was ranked the 2nd most powerful woman on the Fortune list in 2015. Very impressive indeed. Hoping to see more Asians in high office of the world.
