The Treaties Committee will be holding a public hearing today to review two treaty actions relating to capital increases for two World Bank entities, the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the International Finance Corporation.

The Committee will hear from witnesses from the Department of the Treasury, commencing shortly after 11am. The hearing will be broadcast at aph.gov.au/live.
