Asian Development Bank | June 2011
Abstract
Updated yearly, this ADB Fact Sheet provides social and economic indicators on Pakistan as well as concise information on ADB's operations in the country and contact information. Pakistan has received more than $20.89 billion in loans since joining the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in 1966, with more than $15.7 billion disbursed. A total of 293 loans were provided from the concessional Asian Development Fund and from ordinary capital resources, with $192 million provided in grants for more than 300 technical assistance (TA) projects. Pakistan experienced unprecedented floods in 2010, affecting the entire country and about 20 million people. At the request of the Government of Pakistan, ADB and the World Bank completed a Damage and Needs Assessment, which underpinned medium- to long-term reconstruction programming.
