Histórico
Yukio Yoshimura was appointed to the position of senior advisor to World Bank Group (WBG) President James Wolfensohn on July 23, 2001. Yoshimura had previously served as executive director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) from 1998 to 2001 during which time he chaired the Working Group on Bank-Fund Collaboration. Prior to his time at the IMF, Yoshimura spent almost 30 years with Japan's Ministry of Finance. He also served as alternate executive director for Japan at the World Bank from 1988 to 1991.
As senior adviser in the WBG Office of the President, Yoshimura supported President Wolfensohn in a variety of areas, including strengthening the Japan/WBG partnership, communications with multilateral development banks (particularly the Asian Development Bank), and collaboration with the IMF.
In July 2002, Yoshimura was named World Bank vice president and special representative of the World Bank Tokyo office. He would serve in this role until he retired from the WBG at the end of 2006.
