| ||||||||||||||||
Aim —
As a catalyst for private investments, ADB provides direct financial assistance to private sector projects. While ADB’s participation is usually limited, it leverages a large amount of funds from commercial sources to finance these projects.
Projects must also have clear development impacts and/or demonstration effects that go beyond the benefits captured in the financial rate of return.
