PH backs US nominee David Malpass as next World Bank president 9 SHARES Share it! Dominguez currently serves as the governor for the Philippines in the Board of Governors of the World Bank Group. Malpass, the US treasury undersecretary for international affairs, is American President Trump’s nominee as World Bank president, replacing Jim Yong Kim, who resigned last month. It must be brought up to date to again align itself to the realities of the new era,” Dominguez told Malpass. “Frankly, I think, Mr. Malpass, your candidacy to lead the World Bank Group at this time is most appropriate and definitely we will be supporting your candidacy,” Dominguez said.
