Developing and underdeveloped countries should be defined as those in which the existing capital does not fully absorb the available manpower, and a significant share of workers are employed in activities that make use of antiquated and inefficient production techniques. The very low incomes that derive from unemployment and inefficient employment concern two thirds of the worlds population. As a consequence, capital imports are the prime necessity of a development policy. The article reviews recent trends of finance for development comparing bilateral and multilateral systems.
