Reinhart, who was promoted to a senior management position as part of the bank's efforts to regain trust after ethical concerns, stated that key ideas for the new product were already established. These included a requirement for more transparency regarding the methodology, a heavier reliance on survey data from companies, and less emphasis on ranking countries. Reinhart emphasized that all details would be made public in order to restore credibility. The bank would also prioritize survey data to minimize subjective judgment, and eliminate the competitive aspect of the rankings that encouraged countries to manipulate the system. In September, the bank's board decided to stop releasing the annual "Doing Business" rankings due to data irregularities in the 2018 and 2020 versions. Senior bank officials, including former chief executive Kristalina Georgieva, were accused of pressuring staff to alter the data. A law firm, WilmerHale, is currently investigating possible staff misconduct related to the data changes that favored certain countries like China and Saudi Arabia. The International Monetary Fund's board supported Georgieva after examining the allegations, but she may still be implicated in the ongoing investigation. Reinhart mentioned that the situation has damaged the World Bank's credibility and rebuilding trust will require time and effort. She emphasized the importance of credibility being based on systems rather than personalities, and noted that the bank had implemented numerous safeguards in response to external reports over the past year. She stated that while nothing in life is completely guaranteed, taking measures can help reduce the potential for misuse and abuse. She hopes that credibility will eventually be established, but acknowledges that it can be difficult to gain and easy to lose. Reinhart initiated a thorough review 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 review that followed called for various corrective measures and changes, pointing out a consistent government interference in the scoring process. It criticized the bank for not being transparent about the data used and recommended that it cease offering consulting services to governments to boost their scores, a practice that had already been stopped in 2020 and 2021. Reinhart mentioned that the bank would further analyze the impact of the scandal and determine additional necessary actions after the completion of the second WilmerHale report. "We will address that issue once we have the complete report," she stated.
