Private Sector Operations: Catalyzing Private Investments Across Asia and the Pacific
Asian Development Bank | June 2006
Abstract
Private enterprise plays an important role in the economic development of many Asian Development Bank (ADB) developing member countries, which are increasingly adopting policies to create an environment more conducive to private business. Through its Private Sector Operations Department, ADB provides direct assistance to the private sector in undertaking financially viable projects with significant development impact. ADB makes more private sector projects happen—projects that promote the efficient use of resources, accelerate economic development, reduce poverty, and raise the standards of business.
