Recently, however, the effectiveness of the aid channeled through the banks and the efficiency of their operations has come into question. In particular, the financial condition and policies of the African Development Bank--which is financially solvent but vulnerable--have been a growing source of concern. This briefing report provides information on (1) the financial condition of the African Development Bank and (2) issues relevant to that condition. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-95-143BR/html/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-95-143BR.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-95-143BR/pdf/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-95-143BR.pdf GAO/NSIAD-95-143BR https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-95-143BR Briefing Report GAO/NSIAD-95-143BR; Multilateral Development Banks: Financial Condition of the African Development Bank; Lending institutions Bank management International economic relations Foreign economic assistance Bank loans Foreign loans Economic policies Financial management Developing countries African Development Fund
