Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Condensed Quarterly Financial Statements
Asian Development Bank | September 2018
Abstract
The vision of Asian Development Bank (ADB), a multilateral development bank, is an Asia and Pacific region free of poverty. In pursuing its objectives, ADB provides various forms of financial assistance to its developing member countries (DMCs). The main instruments are loans, technical assistance (TA), grants, guarantees, and equity investments, which are met through various funding resources.
ADB accounts for financial resources through ordinary capital resources (OCR) and Special Funds. Under the Agreement Establishing the Asian Development Bank (the Charter), OCR and Special Funds resources must at all times be held and used entirely separately from each other. ADB administers various trust funds as well, which are externally funded and administered by ADB on behalf of donors. These trust funds are not included in the quarterly financial statements and in this management’s discussion and analysis.
ADB also offers debt management products to its members and entities fully guaranteed by members such as interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps (including local currency swaps) for their third party liabilities. ADB also provides policy dialogue and advisory services, and mobilizes financial resources through its cofinancing operations, which access official and other concessional, commercial, and export credit sources to maximize the development impact of its assistance. Cofinancing for ADB projects can be in the form of external loans, grants for TA and components of loan projects, equity, and credit enhancement products such as guarantees and syndications.
