Asian Development Bank and Myanmar: Fact Sheet
Asian Development Bank | April 2015
Abstract
Myanmar is striving for inclusive economic growth and poverty reduction, with strong potential for high growth in the years ahead. Since reengaging with Myanmar in early 2012, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) has prepared comprehensive economic and sector work, while establishing dialogue with the government, civil society organizations, the private sector, and other development partners. ADB built an operational program and prepared an interim country partnership strategy, 2012–2014 for Myanmar, which has been extended to 2016. Cumulative disbursements to Myanmar for lending and grants financed by the Asian Development Fund and other special funds amounted to $923.4 million since 1973.
