Development Effectiveness Report 2018: Private Sector Operations

Abstract

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is working with the private sector in Asia and the Pacific to help the region achieve a prosperous, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable future. This report presents investments made through ADB’s Private Sector Operations Department (PSOD) and assesses contributions to each of the operational priorities under ADB’s Strategy 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals. PSOD achieved a record $3.1 billion in private sector commitments in 2018, from $2.3 billion in 2017. Under Strategy 2030, ADB will expand its private sector operations to reach one-third of its total operations in number by 2024.
