signed the final Agreement that established the
Bank. In fact, the name "International Bank for

CASE
Ø Lahore, May 4 (ANI): Pakistan will approach the
World Bank (WB) for the appointment of an
impartial expert to resolve the Kishanganga
power project dispute with India.
Ø Indus Water Treaty Commissioner Jamaat Ali
Shah said on Sunday that Pakistan was
taking the step because the commission on
its own could not settle the matter.
Ø “India has not shown any willingness to sort
out the issue … [so] we are approaching the
WB,” The Daily Times quoted Jamaat, as
saying.

ADVANTAGES
ØIs to fight poverty with passion
and professionalism for lasting
results and to help people help
themselves and their
environment by providing
resources, sharing knowledge,
building capacity and forging
partnerships in the public and
private sectors
 DARK
SIDE
Ø US held 16.4% of total votes. Major
decisions require an 85% majority, so the
US effectively holds power of veto.
Ø All 11 presidents have been chosen by the
US because it is the bank's biggest
shareholder.
Ø The maximum votes are in hands of US and
 European countries so poor countries don’t
get much benefits.
Ø World Bank imposes anti-communist
conditions
 while giving the loan, as it did with france
in 1945.
CONCLUSION
Ø Though there are many controversies in
the policies of World Bank , still It
works to bridge this divide and turn
rich country resources into poor
country growth. One of the world’s
largest sources of development
assistance, the World Bank supports
the efforts of developing country
governments to build schools and
health centers, provide water and
electricity, fight disease, and protect
