Arguments for Changing the Rules: Some Counter-Arguments • Some MICs have their own aid programs. How can a country justify receiving concessional aid while at the same time giving aid? – BUT many blend countries have, and have had, aid programs. This has not, so far, led to an aid cut-off. Funds are fungible in general, but if engagement with IDA for example, can lead to a better targeting of national resources towards the poor, this is an outcome for which it is worth extending aid eligibility.
Arguments for Changing the Rules: Some Counter-Arguments • While concessional funds are valuable to a MIC, accessing them may not comport with its self image (or the self image of its political and policy making elite) as a player on the world stage, perhaps a member of G20, ready to intensify its own aid programs to even poorer countries for humanitarian or political ends. – BUT…..There is no but here. This is a fundamental tension each IDA recipient country must resolve for itself.
