how countries repay IMF or WB loans.

Once a country borrows money from IMF or WB, how is the money supposed to get repaid?

And in a situation where a country loses many of its citizens does this affect the repayment?

It is a loan so the repayment is broadly the same as for any loan. As part of the loan, there is an agreement as to how the loan is funded and how it is to be repaid – there is no “fixed” method, each loan is a different case. If a country borrows the money, then a country will pay it out of their revenues (taxes, tariffs, government owned companies etc) or possibly borrow from some other lender (maybe a private bank)

No idea what you mean by “losing many of its citizens”. It would be unlikely (however it could be phrased) that a loan would be affected by the number of citizens. That being said, loan agreements can be renegotiated and defaulting is certainly an option (although it might have pretty severe consequences)
