PWC and the World Bank – what is going on?

Posted on

As readers of this blog will be aware, PricewaterhouseCoopers have recently produced what is claimed to be a report for the World Bank. It is, of course, nothing of the sort. It's actually PWC promoting their political agenda on behalf of themselves and their clients.

But this is not the first time less than honourable dealings appear to have occurred between PWC and the World Bank. The Guardian reported another case in 2005 when that paper noted:

The World Bank came under fire yesterday after it was revealed that Indian civil servants were repeatedly overruled by bank officials in their choice of consultants for a multi-million dollar contract to plan the privatisation of Delhi's water supply.

Documents obtained under Delhi's freedom of information act show the bank intervened to the benefit of PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), which had failed to make the grade when the Delhi government put out the tender in 1998.
