| Description | |||||
| Objectives and Scope | Strengthening the financial sector by helping to develop financial institutions, infrastructure, and products and services is a key component of Strategy 2020. Through such initiatives, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) can support inclusive economic growth, stimulated by private sector investment, which can be a key contributing factor in reducing poverty. Technical assistance (TA) is an important value addition that ADB can provide to leverage its nonsovereign funding, and is a development tool that is used frequently and successfully by bilateral and multilateral development banks in combination with private sector lending. For the financial sector, for instance, TA can be used to help financial institutions develop or test new products that they would normally not undertake, which can widen access to finance for underserved customer segments. TA can also be used to encourage financial institutions to improve corporate governance or anti-money laundering (AML) standards beyond local requirements. | ||||
