SECTION 55—Discussions to Enhance the Capacity of the Fund to Alleviate the Potentially Adverse Impacts of Fund Programs on the Poor and the Environment

The Secretary of the Treasury shall instruct the United States Executive Director of the Fund to seek policy changes by the Fund, through formal initiatives and through bilateral discussions, which will result in—
(1) the initiation of a systematic review of policy prescriptions implemented by the Fund, for the purpose of determining whether the Fund’s objectives were met and the social and environmental impacts of such policy prescriptions; and
(2) the establishment of procedures which ensure the inclusion, in future economic reform programs approved by the Fund, of policy options which eliminate or reduce the potential adverse impact on the well-being of the poor or the environment resulting from such programs.
[22 USC 286kk. As added by act of Dec. 19, 1989 (103 Stat. 2500).]
