Nations that experience disasters face a difficult time rebuilding. International financial institutions (IFIs) help ensure market and financial stability on the world-stage by providing development loans to hard hit nations. Doing so also helps to maintain a delicate political balance. The World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), a subsidiary of World Bank, are composed of member-states. Together these and other IFIs provide regular needed financial assistance during humanitarian emergencies and natural disasters.
