Description

The official cofinancing operations of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) commenced in 1970, and its commercial cofinancing operations began in 1973. Mirroring the subsequent growth and development of the world economy and the economies of its developing member countries (DMCs), ADB's cofinancing policies and operations have evolved considerably over the past three decades. The main objectives of this report are to (i) review cofinancing operations under the 1995 Cofinancing Strategy; 2 (ii) examine the changing environment during the review period (encompassing the years 1996-2000); and (iii) highlight areas for further development.
