Reinhart, who was promoted to a senior management position as part of the bank's effort to regain trust following ethical concerns, stated that key ideas for the new product were already clear. These included a push for more transparency in methodology, increased use of survey data from companies, and less emphasis on ranking countries. Reinhart emphasized that all details would be made public in order to restore credibility. Additionally, the bank would rely more on survey data to minimize subjective judgments and eliminate the competitive aspect of 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 concerns about data irregularities in the 2018 and 2020 versions. It was alleged that senior bank officials, including former chief executive Kristalina Georgieva, who now leads the IMF, pressured staff to manipulate 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 IMF's board supported Georgieva after investigating the allegations, but she may still be implicated in the ongoing review. Reinhart expressed concern 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 mentioned that the bank has implemented numerous safeguards over the past year following external reports. She stated that although nothing in life is guaranteed to be completely safe, taking precautions can decrease the likelihood of misuse and abuse. She hopes that credibility will be gained over time, as it is challenging to build and easy to lose. Reinhart initiated a comprehensive review of the Doing Business methodology by an external advisory panel in response to internal concerns about potential data manipulation in the reports. The extensive 84-page review that followed called for various corrective measures and changes, pointing out a consistent pattern of government attempts to manipulate 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 according to Reinhart. She mentioned that once the second WilmerHale report was finished, the bank would assess the broader implications of the scandal and determine any additional actions needed. "We will address that issue once we have the complete report," she stated.
