The main goal of the World Bank is to fight poverty. But, for almost ten years, the World Bank has also investigated financial crimes by governments and bank officials.
In 1996, former World Bank President James Wolfensohn warned of the need to deal with the “cancer of corruption(腐。.
The World Bank defines corruption as offering, giving, receiving or asking for anything of value to influence the action of a public official .For example, a local official may demand that a foreign company pay him money ,or a bribe ,to permit a project to go forward.
The World Bank says corruption is the biggest barrier to development .Corruption hurts the poor people who are supposed to gain from development bank loans and aid.
The World Bank created a group of anti-corruption investigators in 1999.It later became the Department of Institutional Integrity .The bank says the DII has investigated almost two thousand accusations of corruption. The Bank has twenty-two investigators. It spends about ten million dollars each year on anti-corruption measures.
The current. World Bank President was appointed last year. He says he will increase number of investigators and the budget for fighting corruption. He has also suspended loans to India, Kenya, Bangladesh and other nations suspected of corruption.
Reports say some members of the World Bank do not agree with his actions .They say it is not fair to deny the necessity of a loan for purposes such as health care .After all ,only a small proportion of the money is related to corruption.
Critics say the Bank can’t carefully supervise(監(jiān)督)the loans and projects it finances. The Bank approves about two hundred and forty new projects each year. And it has more than one thousand existing loans, each of which may contain many agreements.
In addition, the World Bank is part of the World Bank Group .It includes the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, which has one hundred and eighty-four member nations. In 2004 ,the World Bank Group provided or guaranteed more than $ 2,500,000,000 loans.
