The Development goals of the UN have been focused on one topic. The topic is to help humanity and the third world countries that lack thenecessities to compete with the modern nations. The ideas of these goals that were set back in the 1940-50’s when the MDGs did not exist yet. The convention made the IMF and there were 44 delegates met in New Hampshire in the USA to discuss pre- WWII goals. They range from economic buildup of governments and to end poverty of the world countries. The UN wanted to have Europe reconstructed after the hard fought war and much of Europe was in shambles. The groups were named the IMF and IBRD to help manage and fund the initiative to help the nations (targeted European). The United States heavily supported the idea because they wanted to prevent the spread of communism. The IMF gave out “hard loans” that were near the average market rate but were un-subsidized loans (loans where the borrower is responsible for the interest rate). In the 70’s Robert McNamara came to leadership in charge of the IDA. He stated that the World National Security issue and focus was world poverty. He projected a fund (provided by the US Government…again) to have unprivileged countries and low credit nations to have access to “soft loans” that were below market value. Mc sought advice and help from the World Bank who gladly got funds from the US gov. In the 1980’s, many of the countries that received loans from the World Bank could not pay them back. They had a plenty of debt to their borrowers and in the verge of bankruptcy. The IMF took action and set out more loans so the countries could pay the banks back. This resulted in a wide spread tax increase and cuts in spending for the Asian and African nations that borrowed th...

    After doing research of my own, I have quickly concluded that the IMF is a global mobster. I think the loaning system is flawed and when countries have more votes and more shareholders than other countries, there will never be an objective loaning system - just loan sharks. The IMF and World Bank cut down education in countries to receive payment, they create their own systems of import and export which undermines the debtor's country, kill rural populations in poorer countries, and allow big businesses to come in and kill smaller economies. I do not think an international loaning system will ever work, because there will always be big countries with more influence on the world, offering to loan developing nations money for

The policy that will have to be passed is a distribution policy. If this policy is passed, the money generated from trade could be used in projects for the future and help these countries develop as a whole. This distribution policy will take time to pass due to other actors, but these actors are not a big issue. This distribution policy benefits the economies of developing countries such as Somalia. It helps the countries develop a balance of trade and generate revenue. Food will become more available to the Somalia people, and less people will be affected. Everyone in Somalia will have the opportunity to provide food for themselves and others. The hunger in Somalia will cease.

    With repercussions like these, I think it is safe to say that the IMF and World Bank employ measures that keep poor countries poor or make them even more destitute. Their mission statements are great ideas at the core, but very poorly executed. If the governing bodies of the IMF and World Bank moved slower, implemented one or two strategies or practices at a time, and worked closely with member countries to get them out of debt the programs could sway public opinion back in their favor and producer more positive and consistent

    Many critics and even followers of the IMF do not even know what the IMF really is. It is not a development or even a central bank. It is a credit union. It pays interests on deposits it receives from member nations. The IMF lends money to members having trouble meeting financial obligations to other members, but only the condition that they undertake economics reforms to eliminate these difficulties for their own good and that of the entire membership. Some people believe that if the IMF tells a country to do something, they must do it. This statement is false. The IMF has no authority over the domestic economic policies of its members. The IMF is a cooperative institution that 182 countries voluntarily joined because they see the advantage of consulting with one another to maintain a stable system of buying and selling their currencies.
