In contrast to many other symposia that have been sponsored by the Bank since its research programme became more firmly established nearly a decade ago, the current seminar attempts to assess the Bank's own lending practices. In the past, the Bank has too often and too long maintained an external posture as if it knew what it was doing and where it was going. The Bank's word had to be taken for granted, as little opportunity for review of what it was doing existed.
