Asian Development Bank and Palau: Fact Sheet

Abstract

Updated yearly, this ADB Fact Sheet provides social and economic indicators on Palau as well as concise information on ADB's operations in the country and contact information. After joining the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in 2003, Palau—an archipelagic microstate in the Northwest Pacific—was reclassified as one of ADB’s Pacific developing member countries on 16 December 2005. ADB enjoys a strong relationship with the government, its Congress, civil society, and the private sector, providing policy and economic advice on a range of issues affecting Palau’s long-term sustainable development.
