WTO confirms Okonjo-Iweala in final race for DG

The World Trade Organization is set to have its first female leader after Nigeria’s Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and South Korea’s Yoo Myung-hee made it through Thursday to the final run-off, a WTO spokesman announced.

“The third stage will run from October 19 to October 27,” he said, with a winner to be announced before November 7. Okonjo-Iweala and Yoo’s candidacies received a boost earlier this week when EU member states officially threw their weight behind them. If she emerges triumphant from the final elimination round, she would not only be the first woman, but also the first African to lead the global trade body.

Already before the Covid-19 crisis hit, the organisation was grappling with stalled trade talks and struggling to curb tensions between the United States and China. But it will then grow by only 7.2 percent next year, rather than the previous 21.3 percent estimate issued in April, the WTO added.
