قروض البنك الدولي و اثرها علي التنمية الاقتصادية في الدول العربية

In Spite of the fact that economic development has occupied the leading position in the interests of the Arab countries, the funding of that development has taken the larger area of that interest in the light of the deficiency in the capital which is considered necessary in the launching of economy to the self-development phase. This has led Arab countries towards the foreign sources for funding represented in aids, foreign loans and direct and indirect foreign investments to fill the gap in the local resources and the foreign currency. This paper aims at studying one of the forms of foreign funding which is the loans from the International Bank and their effects on the economic development in the Arab countries. The paper concludes that the International Bank follows the policies of the big countries in terms of giving loans that provide political, economic and strategic interests. Besides, the flow of the capitals to Arab countries whether in the form of gifts or loans is related to conditions that are in favor of guaranteeing the interests of creditor countries. In this way, the financial policy of the International Bank through the loans it gives to the Arab countries is one of the most important factors that ensures the concept of subordination.
