Since 1956, the IFC has leveraged $285 billion for businesses in developing countries, reaching millions of people. India is a founding member of the IFC and the first IFC investment in India was in 1959. The IFC supports projects in India like the 750 MW Rewa Ultra Mega Solar Power Project, the
The International Development Association (IDA) was established in 1960 and is headquartered in Washington D.C. with 173 member countries. IDA provides concessional loans and grants to the world's poorest developing countries. IDA supports projects in areas like health, education, infrastructure, and agriculture in 82 countries, 40 of which are in Africa. IDA's goals are to reduce poverty and disparities within and across countries by providing long-term, low-interest loans to promote economic development and improve living standards. India is currently IDA's largest borrower, having received $2.578 billion in total from IDA.
The document outlines several criticisms of the World Bank, including that it supports U.S. business interests rather than reducing poverty as intended, engages in donor-driven imperialism, and has an undemocratic decision-making structure dominated by economically powerful countries. Additionally, the World Bank is criticized for pushing a neo-liberal agenda on developing countries, focusing more on issuing loans than achieving development results, and sometimes increasing poverty and harming the environment. India has been a major borrower from the World Bank for projects involving poverty alleviation, infrastructure, rural development, and more, having borrowed over $65.8 billion, but the Bank also faces criticisms of its influence and priorities.
The World Bank provides various types of lending operations and guarantees to support poverty alleviation and sustainable development. Its top contributors are the USA, Japan, Germany, UK, and France. Investment lending finances infrastructure and includes specific investment loans, sector investment and maintenance loans, and emergency recovery loans. Adjustment lending supports policy reforms through structural adjustment loans, sector adjustment loans, and debt reduction loans. World Bank guarantees include project-based partial risk guarantees, project-based partial credit guarantees, and policy-based guarantees to facilitate private sector financing.
The Special Drawing Rights (SDR) is an international reserve asset created by the IMF to supplement its member countries' official reserves. SDRs represent a potential claim on the currencies of IMF members. Each SDR is valued based on a basket of currencies, consisting of 44% U.S. dollar, 34% euro, 11% Japanese yen, and 11% British pound sterling. SDRs can be exchanged between IMF members and used to pay obligations to the IMF, helping supplement foreign exchange reserves.
The document criticizes several aspects of IMF loans and policies, arguing that they often do more harm than good. It claims that the IMF takes a "one size fits all" approach without considering individual country contexts. IMF loan conditions also reduce political independence by dictating national policies. Additionally, the IMF is criticized for engaging in too much intervention and not allowing free market forces to operate naturally. There is also a lack of transparency and local involvement in imposing IMF policies.
The IMF provides short-term loans to countries experiencing balance of payments issues to help promote economic growth. It was established in 1944 at the Bretton Woods Conference along with the World Bank to foster international cooperation and monetary stability between member countries. The IMF currently has 189 member countries and works to secure global financial stability through surveillance, policy advice, and lending programs.
This document discusses criticisms of the Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) theory. It lists 7 criticisms: 1) Comparing prices without accounting for quality is unrealistic. 2) Price indexes include all goods/services whether traded internationally or not. 3) Transportation costs are ignored. 4) Assuming no trade barriers is unrealistic. 5) Impact of exchange rate changes on prices is ignored. 6) PPP does not explain demand and supply in foreign exchange markets. 7) PPP does not explain short-term changes in exchange rates.
ARGUMENTS FOR FIXED AND FLUCTUATING EXCHANGE RATESKunthavai ..
This document discusses the merits and demerits of fixed and flexible exchange rates. Fixed exchange rates involve exchange transactions occurring at a rate set by the central bank. This provides predictability but requires large foreign currency reserves and exchange controls. Flexible rates are set by supply and demand, automatically addressing balance of payments issues but causing uncertainty through speculation and fluctuations. In conclusion, governments often use fixed rates which require balance of payments adjustments through policy measures.
The key factors that determine a country's exchange rate include:
1. Inflation rates - Lower inflation leads to currency appreciation while higher inflation depreciates a currency.
2. Interest rates - Higher rates attract foreign capital and appreciation, while lower rates cause depreciation.
3. Balance of payments - A trade surplus appreciates a currency while a deficit depreciates it.
4. Government debt - Higher debt that may lead to default causes currency depreciation.
This document discusses various payment methods for foreign market transactions:
- Cash in advance requires upfront payment before goods are transferred and is the least attractive option for buyers due to cash flow issues.
- Letters of credit provide security as the buyer's bank pays the exporter's bank upon shipment verification, protecting both buyers and sellers.
- Documentary collections involve both banks acting as intermediaries, with payment transferred once the exporter provides proof of delivery.
- Open accounts allow goods to be shipped and delivered before later payment, benefiting buyers but increasing risk for exporters.
- Consignments see goods sent abroad and sold by an agent, with payment only remitted after end customer sales, making this
