Withheld Funds in United States
Withheld Funds for Mdb in the History of U.S. Economic Sanctions Imposed against China
Note: the status of this economic sanction is: Modified
Date of the sanction(s): NOVEMBER 5, 1990
In the appropriations act for FY1991, Congress stipulated that any United States contributions to the International Development Association (IDA) would be reduced proportionate to IDA loans deemed to be for non-basic human needs purposes made to China since January 1, 1990. The withheld funds could only be released after the President had reported to Congress it was in the national interest to do so. A similar provision was contained in the FY1990 appropriations bill (see November 21, 1989).
Some Observations
The Foreign Operations Appropriations for FY1993 continued similar language and added the restriction to United States contributions to the Asian Development Bank.
