In an effort to regain credibility after ethical concerns, Reinhart, who was promoted to senior management, highlighted some key aspects of the new product. These included the need for transparency in methodology, more reliance on survey data, and less emphasis on ranking countries. Reinhart emphasized the importance of public disclosure in restoring credibility and stated that the details of the product would be made public. The bank would also prioritize survey data to minimize subjective judgment and eliminate the competitive aspect of rankings that encouraged countries to manipulate the system. The bank's annual "Doing Business" rankings were canceled in September by the board due to data irregularities in the 2018 and 2020 versions. Senior bank officials, including former chief executive Kristalina Georgieva, now head of the IMF, were accused of pressuring staff to make changes. A law firm is investigating possible staff misconduct related to data changes benefiting China, Saudi Arabia, and other countries. The IMF's board supported Georgieva after reviewing the allegations, but she may still be implicated in the ongoing investigation. Reinhart noted that the World Bank's credibility has been damaged and rebuilding trust will require time and effort. She emphasized the importance of credibility being based on systems rather than personalities and mentioned that the bank has implemented numerous safeguards following external reports. She stated that while nothing in life is guaranteed to be foolproof, implementing measures can help reduce the potential for misuse and abuse. She expressed hope that credibility will be gained over time, as establishing credibility can be challenging and easily lost. Reinhart initiated a thorough examination of the Doing Business methodology by an external advisory panel in response to internal concerns about potential data manipulation in the reports. The critical 84-page evaluation that followed called for a series of corrective measures and changes, pointing out a trend of government attempts to manipulate the scoring. It criticized the bank for not being transparent about the data used and suggested it discontinue selling consulting services to governments that aim to improve their scores, a practice that Reinhart mentioned had already been stopped in 2020 and 2021. Reinhart mentioned that the bank would assess the repercussions of the scandal more broadly and determine any additional actions needed after the completion of the second WilmerHale report. She stated, "We will address that issue once we have the complete report."
