First High-level visit of World Bank Group’s Investment
Insurance Arm

Washington, May 20, 2014 – Michel Wormser, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA)—the political risk insurance and credit enhancement arm of the World Bank Group—arrives tomorrow for a three-day trip to Namibia. Wormser’s visit marks MIGA’s first high-level visit to the country.

“The purpose of my trip is to identify priority areas where MIGA can help Namibia leverage investments to meet its development goals,” said Wormser.
