But the bank also soon began providing Iraq with $200 million in short-term loans. Within months Baghdad fell behind in its payments...
...packing, and law enforcement has been beefed up. Officials have also started some ambitious environmental projects, chief among them the cleanup of Guanabara Bay. The project will cost $667 million, $450 million of it to be lent by the Inter-American Development Bank; it would be the largest environmental loan the bank has ever made. The plan includes the construction of six sewage-treatment plants and two solid-waste recycling plants and the reforestation of the eroding banks of the rivers that feed into...
