Here’s a name I hadn’t heard in a while: Ernesto Zedillo. Perhaps not the most well-known name to non-Mexicans, Zedillo was the much ridiculed PRI president that followed the infamous Carlos Salinas de Gortari, then fell off the (at least my) radar. Now it seems Zedillo wants to make a comeback in another high-profile role: president of the World Bank.

According to Milenio magazine, Zedillo will have to compete with some other very high-profile candidates, among them ex Afghan Finance Minister Ashraf Ghani and the head of the Israeli Central Bank, Stanley Fischer.

The World Bank will be looking to replace president Paul Wolfowitz, whose two-year tenure is mired in scandal over charges that he promoted and gave a hefty raise to his girlfriend, an employee of the Bank.
