Overview
ADB offers a range of financial products that help developing member countries (DMCs) build economic growth and social development. These tools include loans, technical assistance, and grants.
Public sector (sovereign) financing is extended to DMC governments and public sector entities, such as state-owned enterprises. Sovereign lending or financing secured by a government guarantee forms the greater part of ADB’s development assistance.
Operations are financed from ordinary capital resources (OCR) and a range of special funds, including the Asian Development Fund, which is the largest. In addition, ADB also mobilizes financial resources through cofinancing.
Sovereign approvals amounted to $15.40 billion in 2011, an increase of $553 million (4%) from 2010.
The top four countries in terms of nonsovereign approvals in 2011 were India, the Lao People's Democratic Republic, Uzbekistan, and the People's Republic of China.
