Abstract
The vision of ADB is an Asia and Pacific free of poverty. Its mission is to help its developing member countries (DMCs) reduce poverty and improve living conditions and quality of life. ADB’s strategy for reducing poverty focuses on achieving three strategic agendas: inclusive economic growth, environmentally sustainable growth, and regional integration.
ADB provides various forms of financial assistance to its DMCs. The main instruments are loans, technical assistance (TA), grants, guarantees, and equity investments. These instruments are financed through ordinary capital resources (OCR), Special Funds, and trust funds. ADB’s ordinary operations are financed from OCR and special operations from Special Funds. The Charter requires that funds from each resource be kept and used separately. Trust funds are generally financed by contributions and administered by ADB as the trustee.
ADB also offers debt management products to its members and entities fully guaranteed by members such as interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps (including local currency swaps) for their third party liabilities. ADB also provides policy dialogue and advisory services, and mobilizes financial resources through its cofinancing operations, which access official and other concessional, commercial, and export credit sources to maximize the development impact of its assistance. Cofinancing for ADB projects can be in the form of external loans, grants for TA and components of loan projects, equity, and credit enhancement products such as guarantees and syndications.
