Major decisions require an 85% majority, so the us effectively holds power of veto. - All 11 presidents have been chosen by the US because it is the bank's biggest shareholder. - The maximum votes are in hands of US and European countries , so poor countries don’t get much benefits. - World Bank imposes anti-communist conditions while giving the loan, as it did with France in 1945.
