Meeting the infrastructure needs of the region has become the most significant component of the [World] Bank's lending program... To cope with rapid modernization, rising urbanization, and international integration, it is estimated that developing East Asian countries will need to invest between $1. 2 trillion and $1. 5 trillion... in transportation, power, telecommunications, and water and sanitation facilities in the next decade... During the past year, in "Infrastructure Development in East Asia and Pacific : Towards a New Public-Private Partnership, "the Bank laid out an overall agenda to enhance private sector participation. The Bank explored the possibility of establishing an Infrastructure Fund in the Philippines, developed a cofinancing strategy with the private sector, and undertook a large number of other activities at the project, sector, and country level to enhance private sector involvement. In addition, recent economic and sector work has included infrastructure studies for China, Indonesia, Mongolia, and Vietnam.

Subject field(s)
  • Corporate Economics
  • National and International Economics
CONT

Wharton is a powerful symbol of where our country went wrong in the 1980s. It was here at Wharton that Michael Milken got the idea to use junk bonds to leverage corporate buyouts -- a quick-buck scheme that was supposed to shake up failed management but too often forced corporations to lay off workers in formerly profitable plants, reduce R&D, and ultimately to go bankrupt or sell out again under the crushing burden of unserviceable debt.

CONT

Even the stronger enterprises were not immune from the problem of unserviceable debt as the state had in the past arbitrarily absorbed their profits and forced them to build up a large stock of debt.

CONT

Total Third World debt is in the hundreds of billions, piled up under the auspices of the World Bank and sister agencies when they were attempting to impose their brand of global statism on any country desperate or corrupt enough to accept the money. The majority of these loans are unlikely to be repaid, especially those to the poorest nations. This creates a problem for the people who run the World Bank, a band of bureaucrats who for years claimed that their lending practices were sound and that their loan default rates were low. What the loans did, aside from provide tax-free employment opportunities for thousands of World Bank credit officers, was create scores of nations with large, unserviceable debt burdens.
