COLOMBIAN AMBASSADOR TO THE U.S. LUIS ALBERTO MORENO ELECTED TO HEAD INTER-AMERICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK.
|
The race to name a new head of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) ended more quickly than analysts had expected, with Colombian candidate Luis Alberto Moreno winning a strong majority from member nations. Moreno replaces Uruguayan IDB president Enrique Iglesias, 75, who ran the world's largest regional lending institution for the past 17 years. Moreno's success is a gain for the US, which backed the official's bid to become the IDB's fourth president in 46 years.
