Reinhart, who was promoted to senior management in an effort to restore the bank's credibility following ethics concerns, stated that some key ideas for the new product were already established. These included a push for more transparency in methodology, an increased reliance on survey data from companies, and a decreased emphasis on ranking countries. Reinhart emphasized the importance of public disclosure in rebuilding credibility, stating that the details of the product would be publicly available. The bank would also focus on using survey data to minimize subjective judgment and eliminate the competitive aspect of rankings that encouraged countries to manipulate the system. The bank's board decided to stop releasing the annual "Doing Business" rankings in September due to data irregularities in the 2018 and 2020 versions. Senior bank officials, including Kristalina Georgieva, who now leads the IMF, were accused of pressuring staff to alter the data. The law firm WilmerHale is currently investigating possible staff misconduct related to the changes, which benefited China, Saudi Arabia, and other countries. The IMF's board supported Georgieva after looking into the allegations, but she may still be involved in the ongoing investigation. The World Bank's credibility has been damaged by this situation, and it will require time and effort to regain trust. It is important for credibility to be based on systems rather than personalities, and the bank has implemented numerous safeguards following external reviews in the past year. She stated that while nothing in life is completely foolproof, there are measures in place to reduce the potential for misuse and abuse. She hopes that credibility will be gained over time, as it is hard to establish and easy to lose. Reinhart initiated a thorough review of the Doing Business methodology by an external advisory panel following internal concerns about data manipulation in the reports. The scathing 84-page review that followed called for various corrective measures and changes, pointing out a consistent pattern of government interference with the scoring process. The review criticized the bank for not being transparent about the data used and recommended that it cease offering consulting services to governments in order to improve their scores, a practice that had already been stopped in 2020 and 2021. Reinhart mentioned that the bank would assess the broader implications of the scandal and determine any additional steps needed after the completion of the second WilmerHale report. "We will need to address that issue once we have the full report," she stated.
