Highlights
The United States contributes to the success of the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank, the Asian Development Bank, and the International Monetary Fund by providing professional staffs and financial support. It is considering joining the African Development Bank and, thus, may have similar commitments to that institution. The Department of the Treasury, in consultation with the International Development Cooperation Agency and the National Advisory Council on International Monetary and Financial Policies, is the primary agency responsible for U.S. participation in these international financial institutions.
