About International Economic Institutions (IMF, World Bank, WTO)

This quiz is meant for students preparing for the IAS examination and other competitive tests, and for anyone who wants a thorough, well-rounded understanding of the major international economic institutions and India's role within them. It begins with the origins, structure and governance of the International Monetary Fund -- the Bretton Woods Conference, its quota system and its surveillance function. A second pack covers the IMF's specific lending facilities and flagship reports. A third pack covers the World Bank Group -- its five distinct institutions, the IBRD, IDA, IFC, MIGA and ICSID, and its own development-financing mandate. A fourth pack covers the World Trade Organization -- its founding principles, its dispute settlement system and its major sectoral agreements. A fifth pack covers the wider ecosystem of international economic institutions -- the Bank for International Settlements, the G20, and regional development banks such as the Asian Development Bank, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and the New Development Bank. It closes with recent reforms and India's own evolving role -- quota reform, the WTO's Appellate Body crisis, and India's 2023 G20 presidency. When complete it will have one hundred and twenty carefully checked questions, arranged in six packs of twenty.

Every question has four options, and the correct option can be in any position. After each question there is a detailed explanation of more than five lines, in simple Indian English that a school student can follow, giving the important names, figures and the points that examiners like to test.

Every fact has been checked against standard reference material on the IMF, World Bank, WTO and other international economic institutions, current as of this quiz's preparation.
