This law caps the Bank's policy-based lending for four years starting in 1990. Overall, such loans can't exceed 25% of all Bank loans; per-country, they're capped at 50%. The Treasury must also explore debt relief and report to Congress.

The Secretary of the Treasury must do four things: take all necessary steps to get the Bank to cap the total value of its "policy based" loans (loans tied to a country's policy changes) at 25% of the total value of all Bank loans made during the four years starting January 1, 1990 — this cap doesn't count policy-based loans made to countries the Bank has decided are less developed economically or have a limited market economy, when those loans are used to buy the country's sovereign debt or reduce its debt or debt-service burden; take all necessary steps to get the Bank to cap the total value of policy-based loans to any one country's government at 50% of the total value of all Bank loans to that government during the same four years; instruct the U.S. Executive Director of the Bank to work with the Bank's other Executive Directors on ways to use part of the resources from the subscription and contribution described in 22 U.S.C. § 283z–5(a)(2) for debt reduction and debt-service reduction, for countries covered by the first requirement; and report to Congress on that debt-reduction exploration before the end of the twelve months starting December 19, 1989.

The Secretary of the Treasury shall—

(1)

take all necessary steps to encourage the Bank to limit the aggregate value of the policy based loans made by the Bank (other than policy based loans made to any country which the Bank has determined is economically less developed or has a limited market economy, which are used to purchase sovereign debt of such country or to reduce the debt or debt service burden of such country) during the 4-year period beginning on January 1, 1990, to 25 percent of the aggregate value of all loans made by the Bank during such 4-year period;

(2)

take all necessary steps to encourage the Bank to limit the aggregate value of the policy based loans made by the Bank to the government of a particular country during such 4-year period, to 50 percent of the aggregate value of all loans made by the Bank to such government during such 4-year period;

(3)

instruct the United States Executive Director of the Bank to explore with the other Executive Directors of the Bank ways to use a portion of the resources made available to the Bank by reason of the subscription and contribution described in section 283z–5(a)(2) of this title for debt reduction and debt service reduction for countries described in paragraph (1); and

(4)

before the end of the 12-month period beginning on December 19, 1989, report to the Congress on the matters described in paragraph (3).
