<p>At a time when the BRICS group of emerging economies are deliberating ways to counter the dominance of West-led financial framework in global trade at the bloc's annual summit in Johannesburg, the White House said that US President Joe&nbsp;Biden will discuss reforms in the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) during G20 summit in New Delhi next month.&nbsp;</p>

<p>At the G20, Biden "will really focus a lot of his energy while he is there on the modernization of the multilateral development banks, including the World Bank and the IMF," the White House said.</p>

<p>The aim is to ensure that the development banks offer "high standard, high leverage solutions" to the challenges developing countries face, it was announced.</p>

<p>He called the two institutions "highly effective and transparent".</p>

<p>"World Bank and IMF are a positive, affirmative alternative to what is a much more opaque, or coercive method" of development finance China is offering, the White House said.</p>
