Reviews the origins and purpose of conditionality, as well as its nature and evolution over time. Looks into the reasons for increased conditionality during the 1980s and 1990s and reviews the recent IMF debate on conditionality and on the proposed changes in fund practices. Discusses how the economic and social costs of adjustment may be minimized and whether Fund resources are sufficient to enable it to comply with its mandate.
