Coalition Ireland Report
‘World Bank’s Poverty Reduction Support Credit:
Continuity or Change?’
The research finds that contrary to World Bank claims, it
is largely business as usual in terms of World Bank lending.
The number of World Bank conditions has increased, the overall
thrust of the programmes is similar to previous approaches
and the World Bank continues to impose privatisation conditions,
particularly in the energy, telecommunications and water sectors.

Research published by
DDCI proves that the IMF and World Bank do have the resources
to cancel all the debt owed to them by the poorest countries.

as they vigorously claim, the IMF and World Bank are richly
endowed with huge reserves. In addition they earn enormous profits
each year. The World Bank profits have increased from $1.2bn
in l996 to $5.3bn in 2003.
