See programme below. ---- Has the World Bank learnt from previous mistakes it has made over the past decades? Have they realised that the times when they were able to develop some ideas in their backrooms and then spread it to the third world as a final wisdom (as they did with devastating effects in private pension schemes and microlending) has passed? Will the report match up to the following: A consumer bankruptcy scheme should serve the consumer and not as they say three parties. Since the creditors already got the pacta sunt servanda rule as well as their right to sue consumer bankruptcy schemes are protective schemes. To cite ancient bankruptcy rules made for creditors has little value for assessing the existing problems A consumer bankruptcy report without reference to consumer credit, its functions and threats is worthless. The report has to address the basic economic unit of society, the household. The improvement of its economic viability should be in the WBs mind. the report should be clear about the ´relation between discharge and debt rescheduling plans.
