Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which of the following is the best definition of bilateral aid?

  1. Aid given in the form of loans that must be repaid with interest
  2. Aid given directly from one country's government to another country's government
  3. Aid provided by non-governmental organisations to local communities
  4. Aid given by an international organisation to a developing country
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — Aid given directly from one country's government to another country's government
Bilateral aid is given directly between two governments — from a donor country's government to a recipient country's government. Option A describes multilateral aid channelled through international organisations such as the World Bank. Option C describes NGO aid, which is a separate category. Option D describes a loan, which may or may not be classified as aid depending on its terms.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 2/3

Which of the following is a likely consequence of a developing country having a large debt burden?

  1. Reduced funds available for investment in infrastructure
  2. A rise in the country's credit rating with international lenders
  3. Higher levels of foreign direct investment into the country
  4. Increased government spending on healthcare and education
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A — Reduced funds available for investment in infrastructure
A large debt burden means a significant share of government revenue must be used to service the debt (repay principal and interest), leaving fewer funds for public investment in infrastructure, health, and education. A large debt burden typically lowers credit ratings, not raises them. FDI tends to fall in heavily indebted countries because investors perceive greater financial risk. Government spending on social services is reduced, not increased, under debt pressure.
