Asian Development Bank and Thailand: Fact Sheet
Asian Development Bank | April 2015
Abstract
Thailand plays a major role in promoting regional cooperation and integration. However, since the late 1990s, economic growth in Thailand has been impeded by global economic shocks, natural disasters, sociopolitical tensions, and relatively low investment. Since 1966, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) has been supporting the government. Thailand has received $6.5 billion for 273 loans, grants, and technical assistance projects, with the greatest share of funding going to the energy sector, followed by transport and communications, finance, and water supply, sanitation and waste management. Out of the total, ADB has provided three grant projects worth $7 million and 183 technical assistance projects worth $71 million.
