Asian Development Bank and Turkmenistan : Fact Sheet
Asian Development Bank | July 2006
Abstract
Updated yearly, this ADB Fact Sheet provides social and economic indicators on Turkmenistan as well as concise information on ADB's operations in the country and contact information. On a number of measures, the Philippines has improved in the four decades since it joined the Asian Development Bank (ADB). Infant and maternal health have been raised, and the number of people living on less than $1 a day— the international yardstick for poverty—has declined from 19.1% of the population in 1990 to 15.5% in 2002. (See Table 1.) The country must, however, overcome some huge challenges in order to make a sustainable dent in pervasive poverty that still leaves close to 40% of people living on $2 a day or less—and many more vulnerable.
