Updated: 7 September 2007

Through our Private Sector Development (PSD) Strategy, we are promoting the development of a strong and dynamic private sector in support of economic growth and poverty reduction.

The strategy guides ADB's PSD activities across the region. Based on Private Sector Assessments and Country-Specific Quantitative Indicators the PSD Strategy is implemented at the country level through strategically targeted initiatives, including projects.

Our projects in support of private sector development include loan finance, technical assistance, equity finance, and credit enhancement instruments.

After four years of implementation, a review of the strategy was conducted in 2005 and the Private Sector Development: A Revised Strategic Framework [ PDF ] was developed.
