`World Bank does not impose conditions'

Our Bureau

Hyderabad , Aug. 18

THE World Bank has denied the criticism that it imposes conditions on countries while extending loans.

Mr Paul D. Wolfowitz, President of the World Bank, said the Bank wouldn't tell countries how to run their business.

The World Bank would study the projects and look at their sustainability.

Addressing a press conference here on Thursday, he said the bank wants to build capacities and ensure long-term sustainability. "We invest in things that work and that's not imposing conditions," he said.
