La ligne de crédit modulable a été conçue pour répondre à la demande de financement émanant de pays qui présentent une politique et des antécédents économiques très solides pour prévenir et résoudre des crises. Cet instrument a été créé dans le cadre de la réforme engagée par le FMI [Fonds monétaire international] pour modifier les conditions auxquelles il accorde des prêts aux pays qui traversent des difficultés de trésorerie en les adaptant à leur situation et besoins particuliers. 3, record 1, French, - ligne%20de%20cr%C3%A9dit%20modulable

The [World] Bank has two basic types of lending instruments: "investment loans" and "adjustment loans." Investment loans have a long-term focus (5 to 10 years), and finance goods, works, and services in support of economic and social development projects in a broad range of sectors. Adjustment loans have a short-term focus (1 to 3 years), and provide quick-disbursing external financing to support policy and institutional reforms. 2, record 2, English, - lending%20instrument

La facilité de protection contre les chocs exogènes fournit un soutien à la politique économique et une aide financière aux pays à faible revenu qui subissent les effets de perturbations externes. Elle s'adresse aux pays admissibles au bénéfice de la Facilité pour la réduction de la pauvreté et pour la croissance (FRPC) — principal guichet par lequel le FMI (Fonds monétaire international) apporte son aide financière aux pays à faible revenu —, mais qui n'appliquent pas de programme au titre de la FRPC. Les conditions de financement sont équivalentes à celles d'un accord FRPC et plus avantageuses que celles des autres prêts d'urgence du FMI. 1, record 3, French, - La%20facilit%C3%A9%20de%20protection%20contre%20les%20chocs%20exog%C3%A8nes
