This treatise provided a brief history/overview of the International Monetary Fund. It highlighted sources of funding and “lender” countries, criteria for assistance as a low-income “borrower” country, and contract terms of loans dispersed to the low-income, developing countries. It further discussed the pros and cons on the receiving end of these contractual loan obligations, and analyzed the overall impact of borrowing from the debtor’s perspective. Lastly, this paper assessed and critiqued the IMF’s assistance to low-income countries in the form of a literary review. The overall effect on borrowing countries and findings were further elaborated in the conclusion.
