CBA and Australia were hired and chosen to create and test this bond project because 1) the Australian Government has demonstrated a shared interest in all the technology being pioneered, 2) the World Bank Group shares a long history and much familiarity with the CBA and identifies CBA as a very innovative corporation that is capable of pioneering this bond technology, and 3) the World Bank Group has a very active history, especially in debt issuance, in Australia, thus there is an established relationship and familiarity between the World Bank Group, corporations, and investors in Australia that would make the experimentation process more efficient and effective.
