The International Development Association (IDA) provides grants and " Soft Loan s", with repayment periods of some 30 years and no interest, to the poorest countries (generally with per capita incomes below $500 per year). IDA concessionary lending is funded by direct contributions from member states, which subsidise the difference between the IBRD's costs and the price charged to IDA borrowers. |
