Kristalina Georgieva, EU commissioner for budget and one of Jean-Claude Juncker's vice-presidents since November 2014, has announced in a statement on Friday afternoon that she will leave Brussels and join the World Bank Group in Washington DC at the end of the year. The news comes weeks after Georgieva's failed bid to become the next secretary-general of the United Nations.
