What is a World Bank loan project?

World Bank loan projects refer to all kinds of projects arranged by loans provided by the World Bank.

The loan guarantor of such projects is generally the government or an institution representing the government. Organizers and countries of World Bank loan projects must provide reports on loan usage and relevant economic information. In China, World Bank loan projects involve production, circulation, services, scientific research, education, health and other fields.

The World Bank mainly adopts several ways to select projects:

(1) Carry out various economic research work with borrowing countries;

(2) Formulating the loan principle and defining the loan direction;

③ Discuss the loan plan with the borrowing country; (4) Send a project appraisal team.

The loan procedures of the World Bank:

1, project selection. As the first stage of the project cycle, project selection is very important. Whether a feasible project can be selected from many projects in borrowing countries is directly related to the success or failure of the World Bank's loan business. Therefore, the World Bank has always attached great importance to the selection of projects.

2. Project preparation. After the World Bank and the borrower countries conduct project evaluation and jointly select the loan project, the project enters the preparatory stage.

3. Project evaluation. After the project preparation is completed, it will enter the evaluation stage. Project evaluation is basically done by the World Bank itself. The evaluation content of the World Bank mainly includes five aspects, namely, technology, economy, finance, institutions, society and environment.

4. Project negotiation. Generally, the World Bank and the borrower agree on the negotiation time first, and then the World Bank invites the borrower to send a delegation to Washington for negotiation. Both parties generally confirm the terms of the loan agreement and the project agreement, and discuss relevant technical issues.

5. Implementation of the project. After the negotiation, the borrower and the project beneficiary shall formally confirm the loan agreement and project agreement reached through negotiation.

6. Post-project evaluation. In a certain period after the project loan account is closed, the World Bank should summarize the project, that is, the post-evaluation of the project.
