Public money intended to reduce poverty is given to private hedge funds and banks without the same level of oversight, transparency or accountability, and often results in making the poorest people it is supposed to help, worse off
Existing arms embargos are far too easy to break or ignore, said Ann MacDonald, who heads the Oxfam campaign against illegal arms imports.
The big risk is that the new president will leave the IFC to its own devices instead of trying to curtail its out of control practices.
