Zorluk: ZorInternational Economic Organizations and Regional Integration (ECOWAS, OPEC, IMF, World Bank, WTO, AfDB)

A West African member nation is simultaneously experiencing a severe liquidity deficit in its foreign exchange reserves, causing a temporary balance of payments disequilibrium, and seeking concessionary long-term capital to construct a cross-border energy transmission grid. Which pair of international economic institutions is appropriately mandated to resolve these two distinct financial challenges?

  1. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) for short-term balance of payments stabilization, and the African Development Bank (AfDB) for long-term regional infrastructure financingCevap
  2. B
    The World Bank for short-term balance of payments stabilization, and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for long-term regional infrastructure financing
  3. C
    The World Trade Organization (WTO) for foreign exchange liquidity support, and the African Development Bank (AfDB) for structural adjustment financing
  4. D
    The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) for macroeconomic stabilization loans, and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) for infrastructure grants

Cevap

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) provides short-term balance of payments stabilization, while the African Development Bank (AfDB) provides long-term regional infrastructure financing.
The option specifying the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for short-term balance of payments stabilization and the African Development Bank (AfDB) for long-term regional infrastructure financing is correct because it accurately distinguishes between monetary stabilization mandates and development finance mandates.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the first requirement: resolving a temporary foreign exchange reserve shortage and balance of payments disequilibrium.
Identify that short-term liquidity assistance and macroeconomic stabilization fall directly under the primary mandate of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
The IMF was established to promote international monetary cooperation, exchange stability, and provide short-term financing to member countries experiencing balance of payments distress.
2
Analyze the second requirement: obtaining concessionary long-term capital for cross-border infrastructure in West Africa.
Identify that long-term regional development projects fall under regional development banks such as the African Development Bank (AfDB) or global multilateral development banks like the World Bank.
The AfDB specifically targets socioeconomic development, regional integration, and infrastructural expansion across African nations through long-term loans and grants.
3
Synthesize and select the option matching both institutional mandates correctly.
The option pairing the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for balance of payments assistance with the African Development Bank (AfDB) for infrastructure development is correct.
This combination accurately matches short-term monetary stabilization with long-term regional capital investment.
