Section 262n-1. Increase in income and employment in developing countries; enhancement of purchasing power; diversification away from single crop or product economies
The Secretary of the Treasury, after consultations with the
Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of the Interior (to the
extent appropriate) on markets and prices for commodities, shall
periodically instruct the United States Executive Director of each
multilateral development bank to work with other executive
directors of the respective bank to continue to -
(1) support activities which result in broad increases in
income and employment and enhance purchasing power in developing
countries, particularly among the rural poor; and
(2) encourage diversification away from single crop or product
economies in developing countries to help reduce wide
fluctuations in commodity prices and the adverse impact of abrupt
changes in the terms of trade.
