China: An Evaluation of World Bank Assistance

Independent Evaluation Group

No 7327 in World Bank Publications - Books from The World Bank Group

Abstract: This book evaluates the relevance and effectiveness of Bank assistance to China since the early 1990s. The author finds that the Bank has made important contributions to economic reform, poverty reduction, infrastructure development, and environmental protection, but has fallen short of its objectives in promoting fiscal and financial reforms to reduce inequality and risk. This book also addresses the variability of the environmental safeguard policy and procedures. The author contends that the Bank still has a role to play in China, but with a reduced lending program and without International Development Association (IDA) resources, both the Bank and China need to adapt in order to make the best use of Bank assistance.
