Overview
ADB has been supporting Financial Sector Development of developing member countries in the Asia and Pacific region in many ways. Financial sector operations since 1966 have accounted for 11% of total ADB operations. In 2010, sovereign lending of $893.4 million supported the general financial sector and capital market development for microfinance, small and medium-sized enterprises, and regulatory reforms. Non-sovereign investments reached $1.035 billion, largely supporting housing finance, microfinance, and regional guarantees.
