The IMF"s conditionality programs and their impact on recipient countries: A critical assessment

Since their creation in 1944, the Bretton Woods Institutions (BWI) have always tried to promote structural reforms in countries in general and in particular in developing countries through conditional lending programmes. Indeed, BWI member countries with macroeconomic imbalance problems and financing needs must comply with certain economic (or social and legal) conditions, which in the IMF framework take the form of IMF programme conditionality. The aim of conditionality is to help countries resolve their financial and macroeconomic imbalances. To meet their obligations vis-a-vis the IMF and maintain their close ties with the institution to benefit from its role of lender of last resort, countries can engage in growth- promoting structural reforms to expand the tax base and generate sufficient fiscal resources to pay the IMF’s loans. Starting from this initial intuition, this paper seeks to analyse whether the conditions attached to IMF loans are conducive to the implementation of structural reforms.
Therefore, the purpose of this essay is a critical assessment of the IMF"s conditionality programs and their impact on recipient countries.
In the course of writing this work, the following methods of scientific knowledge will be used: conceptual and empirical.
