Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has been reappointed as Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO) for a second term starting September 2025. Her focus will include advancing the Investment Facilitation for Development initiative to ease foreign investment in developing countries. Following trust issues at the WTO’s 13th Ministerial Conference (MC13), she aims to rebuild confidence among member nations. Okonjo-Iweala will also prioritize progress in agricultural trade and WTO reforms, seeking to address global challenges like food security and climate change while ensuring the organization remains effective and inclusive.

WTO DG Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala Focuses on Investment Pact and Restoring Trust After MC13 Setbacks

Newly re-appointed Director General of the World Trade Organization (WTO), Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, expressed her commitment to advancing the Investment Facilitation for Development (IFD) initiative during her second term. Speaking at an event on Friday, she acknowledged that some of the trust built during the 12th Ministerial Conference (MC12) had been lost at the 13th Ministerial Conference (MC13), and she plans to work towards restoring it. Okonjo-Iweala highlighted her intention to focus on delivering the IFD, a key agreement aimed at easing investment flows into developing nations, which she sees as critical for sustainable global development.

WTO Director-General Okonjo-Iweala Plans to Restore Trust and Focus on Investment Pact After MC13

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the newly re-appointed Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO), has outlined her priorities for the short to medium term, focusing on delivering the Investment Facilitation for Development (IFD) initiative. Okonjo-Iweala acknowledged that some trust that had been built during the WTO’s 12th Ministerial Conference (MC12) was lost at the 13th Ministerial Conference (MC13). This trust gap, according to the WTO chief, was a result of unmet expectations and challenges in negotiations.

During her second term, which begins in September 2025, Okonjo-Iweala emphasized the need to rebuild this trust and work towards a more inclusive and transparent multilateral trading system. One of her main goals is to ensure the successful implementation of the IFD agreement, which aims to simplify and promote foreign direct investment in developing countries, thereby fostering economic growth and development.

In addition to advancing the IFD, the Director-General highlighted the importance of addressing key issues such as agricultural trade and the WTO’s reform agenda. Okonjo-Iweala stressed that while the challenges faced at MC13 were significant, they also provided an opportunity to strengthen the WTO’s ability to respond to global trade issues more effectively. She expressed her determination to continue pushing for breakthroughs in these areas to make the WTO more relevant and responsive to the needs of its diverse membership.

With her reappointment, Okonjo-Iweala’s leadership will be pivotal in navigating the evolving global trade landscape, restoring confidence in the WTO, and delivering on critical agreements like the IFD.
