ADB Annual Report 2013: Main Report
Asian Development Bank | April 2014
Abstract
ADB remains committed to supporting the development of Asia and the Pacific as it tackles these evolving challenges. This annual report highlights our contributions to inclusive, sustainable growth in 2013, with a special emphasis on the environment, and regional cooperation and integration. It also highlights ADB’s support for private sector development—an increasingly important element in the region’s growth.
The Annual Report includes a comprehensive discussion on ADB’s operational, administrative, and financial activities in 2013; complete financial statements and opinions of the independent auditors; and a report on the activities of the Special Funds of ADB. The report also highlights how ADB has helped developing member countries in Asia and the Pacific make progress toward environmentally sustainable growth.
