Cai Jinyong: A Chinese Voice at the Top of IFC

(Beijing) – Three top executives serving in recent years at the World Bank and its emerging markets financing arm International Finance Corp. (IFC) have called China home.

Economist Cai Jinyong became the fourth in October 2012, when he was named IFC's chief executive officer. It's a position at the Washington, D.C. -based institution that carries a four-year term. And it's a familiar environment for Cai, 55, who started his international finance career in the early 1990s by working as an investment banker for the World Bank's operations in Central Europe.
