Poche istituzioni scontano una percezione pubblica così distante dalla loro "missione". A cosa si deve questo scarto? Alla mancanza di informazione sul suo operato? All'inadeguatezza della Banca di fronte a un contesto mondiale in rapida evoluzione? O al prevalere, nella sua agenda, di interessi diversi da quelli dei paesi più poveri?

I paesi del Golfo, Singapore, Cina, Libia, Russia, nonché la Norvegia, grazie ai loro ingenti surplus energetici e commerciali, sono i principali protagonisti di questo scenario.
