The [[International Monetary Fund]] was set up in 1944, mainly to provide loans to member governments in support of policies to deal with [[balance of payments]] problems. In recent years it has also  devoted its resources to the strengthening of the international financial system and relieving  financial crises. It also  advises member governments about their economic problems and, when necessary, it grants loans to help resolve them.
The [[World Bank]] provides low-interest loans, interest-free credit and grants to developing countries, finances selected private sector projects,. guarantees foreign investors against non-commercial risks  and settles disputes between foreign investors and host countries.
The [[Bank for International Settlements]]  serves as the central banks’ bank and provides a forum to promote discussion and policy analysis among central bank governors and senior executives. Its  committees include the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and the Committee on the Global Financial System.
==Reform committees and their proposals==
