Description

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) adopted its supplementary financing policy in 1973 to meet cost overruns and close financing gaps in projects. The policy was revised in 1983, 1988, and 2005. These revisions were designed to make supplementary financing more accessible for projects that remain technically feasible, economically viable, and financially sound, and that are government priorities.
