Bureaucracy at the IMF and the World Bank: a comparison of the evidence

Article Abstract:

The International Monetary Fund and the World Bank are plagued by bureaucracy and lack of control over their external affairs. There has been a significant increase in manpower without a corresponding rise in productivity. External control has also declined because weakened voting power restrains the chief member states from examining the growth and effects of bureaucracy. 'Hurry-up lending' has been adopted to hasten the use of its resources whenever their capacity to lend is examined.
