Structural adjustment loans given by the World Bank are meant for :
Options:
A .  encouraging capital-intensive industries
B .  reducing inequalities of income distribution
C .  increasing employment in agriculture
D .  increasing export-earning capacity of the borrower country
Answer: Option A
Answer: (a)
Structural adjustments are the policies implemented by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank (the Bretton Woods Institutions) in developing countries.
These policy changes are conditions for getting new loans from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) or World Bank, or for obtaining lower interest rates on existing loans.
Conditionalities are implemented to ensure that the money lent will be spent in accordance with the overall goals of the loan. The Structural Adjustment Programs (SAPs) are created with the goal of reducing the borrowing country’s fiscal imbalances.
