As president of the Asian Development Bank I attended an aid policy forum in

LEADING THE ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK: HARUHIKO KURODA (20)

Kuroda becomes the bank's president and promotes regional economic integration

Haruhiko Kuroda
January 26, 2024 10:45 JST

On Feb. 1, 2005, I took office as the eighth president of the Asian Development
Bank (ADB). I headed to the headquarters in Manila and took over from former
President Tadao Chino at the hotel where I arrived. This kept to the tradition
that the outgoing and incoming presidents would not be in the headquarters
building at the same time.

The next day Chino left Manila and I went to the headquarters to present my
basic policy thinking to the 12-member board of directors and senior staff.
Following the bank's tradition since the first president, Takeshi Watanabe, I
called for the organization to act as a "home doctor" who listens to developing
countries' voices, rather than teaching them.
