II. Banks and Corporations
Bank
The term ‘bank’ has no single definition for many authors have provided
their own definition of it. For the purposes of uniformity, we define a
bank as a financial institution licensed to provide several financial
services to different types of customers.
Banks are in operation mainly for their deposit and lending function.
Customers are allowed to deposit their money to banks which grow
through an interest rate. Banks also provide loans, at a higher interest
rate, to customers who need money either for personal consumption or
for investment and businesses.
Corporation
A corporation is an organization, created by a group of people known as
shareholders, which is legally recognized to act as a single person in
carrying out certain goals and objectives.
6
As a ‘legal person’, a corporation is mandated to enjoy the rights,
privileges, and responsibilities of an individual.
Using its own name, a corporation has the right to enter into contracts,
to hire employees, and to loan and borrow money. It is also authorized
to have its own assets.
It has three main tools at its disposal to carry out its mandate:
surveillance, technical assistance and training, and lending. These
functions are underpinned by the IMF’s research and statistics.
7
IMF offers technical assistance and training to help member countries
strengthen their capacity to design and implement effective policies.
Technical assistance is offered in several areas, including fiscal policy,
monetary and exchange rate policies, banking and financial system
supervision and regulation, and statistics.
2. World Bank
By giving loans and offering advice and training in both the private and
public sectors, the World Bank aims to eliminate poverty by helping
people help themselves. Under the World Bank Group, there are
complimentary institutions that aid in its goals to provide assistance.
