The Bank has 53 African members, as well as 24 non-regional members, including the\nUnited States. In the mid-1990s, the Bank faced management problems and difficulties arising from\nnon-performing loans, but reforms launched in 1995 by a new Bank president, Omar Kabbaj, brought\nnew pledges of support from the non-regionals. U.S. contributions to the Fund resumed in FY1998\nand to the Bank in FY2000. This report will be updated as events warrant.",
