The efficiency of financial intermediation is increasing, and as a result borrowing costs are slowly being lowered and deposit rates are being raised.

The cost of credit will be reduced if security rights can be obtained in an efficient manner.

The goal was to reduce maternal and infant mortality rates, increase the enrolment of girls at all educational levels and decrease the high dropout rate for girls.

The priority objectives set in the National Health Programme, amended in 1993, were to reduce the number of deaths of people below the age of 65, as well as to reduce the level of morbidity and disability, and at the same time to reduce morbidity at a young age.

Maternal and child mortality rates had fallen.

(b) Reduce malnutrition among children

It is inefficient of you.

We needed to reduce the population growth rate.

Child mortality has been reduced by almost half.

(c) Voluntary agreements with specific sectors to improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

They can take the form of direct subsidies, reduced interest rates or reduced costs for acquiring land.

The Regional Plan of Action to reduce maternal mortality in the Americas proposed a reduction of 30 per cent by 1995 and 50 per cent by 2000.

Idiots, all of you. Stupid, inefficient idiots.

As a result, lines of command, duties and responsibilities were not clearly defined and this affected the operational efficiency of the internal control system and diminished effective functioning of the Tribunal.

But soaring deficits did not return the economy to full employment, so the Fed did what it had to do cut interest rates. Lower interest rates worked, but not so much because they boosted investment, but because they led households to refinance their mortgages, and fueled a bubble in housing prices.

It is estimated that the failure rate will have dropped by 0.1 per cent to 11.9 per cent by the end of the 2003 2004 cycle, compared with the 2002 2003 cycle, and the drop out rate is expected to fall to two per cent.

Reducing the prevalence of HIV AIDS would also contribute to the achievement of other development goals, including the reduction of poverty, the reduction of child mortality and the reduction of maternal mortality.

The underlying principle is a decidedly counterintuitive fact of life. You might think that learning to use something more efficiently will result in your using less of it, but the opposite is true the more efficient we get at using something, the more of it we are likely to use.
