Rost-war reparations have provided the basis for the Official Development Assistance(ODA) of Japan. War reparations evolved into the so-called Reparation Triangle as the Japan Export and Import Bank (EXIM) fund was incorporated into an economic cooperation effort which became the foundation for the Economic Cooperation Triangle comprising the ODA. Following the formation of the Reparation Triangle, war reparations were gradually used to build the framework for the ODA. First, the reparations provided the basic structure for gratuitous financial aid. Secondly, yen credit was initiated as the payment of war reparations gradually developed into economic cooperation using the EXIM fund. Thirdly, they gave birth to Japanesestyle financial assistance, which mainly takes the form of treasury loans and investments. Lastly, peace reparations were utilized for collateral funds to establish a financial adjustment system between two nations, which is one of the functions of the ODA. A few points should be noted regarding the formation of the ODA. First, EXIM has played an important leadership role. Secondly, Japan's ODA has always been an integral part of the Economic Cooperation Triangle. Lastly, Japan established a closely knit financial relationship with southeast Asian nations, which provided the foundation for the ODA.
