World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim will leave his post on February 1, his executive director Kristalina Georgieva will be in charge.
It is assumed that the process of discussing the candidacies of the president will take place until mid-February, and the approval process until mid-April.
Among the possible candidates, besides Ivanka Trump and Nikki Haley, are US Deputy Treasury Secretary for International Affairs David Malpas and the head of the United States Agency for International Development Mark Green.
Earlier it was reported that Ivanka Trump could use personal e-mail for official correspondence with US officials, thus violating the rules of the White House.
