OVERVIEW:

THE ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK (ADB) RECENTLY RETAINED INDIA’S GDP GROWTH FORECAST
FOR THE CURRENT FINANCIAL YEAR AT 7%.


ABOUT ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK (ADB):

 * It is a multilateral development bank established on 19th December 1966.
 * It is the principal international development finance institution for the
   Asia-Pacific region.
 * It envisions a prosperous, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable Asia and the
   Pacific, while sustaining its efforts to eradicate extreme poverty in the
   region.
 * Functions:
   * It provides assistance to its developing member countries, the private
     sector, and public-private partnerships through grants, loans, technical
     assistance, and equity investments to promote social and economic
     development.
   * ADB maximizes the development impact of its assistance by facilitating
     policy dialogues, providing advisory services, and mobilizing financial
     resources through cofinancing operations that tap official, commercial, and
     export credit sources.
 * Headquarters: Manila, Philippines.
 * Membership:
   * Membership in the ADB is open to members and associate members
     of the United Nations Economic Commission for Asia and the Far East.
   * It's also open to other regional countries and non-regional developed
     countries that are members of the U.N. or of any of its specialized
     agencies. 
   * From 31 members at its establishment in 1966, ADB has grown to encompass
     68 members, of which 49 are from within Asia and the Pacific and 19
     outside.
 * Control:
   * ADB is run by a board of governors, which represents the member
     countries of the ADB. 
   * The ADB was modelled closely on the World Bank and has a similar weighted
     voting system where votes are distributed in proportion to members' capital
     subscriptions.
   * As of 2022, ADB's five largest shareholders are Japan and the United
     States (each with 15.6% of total shares), the People's Republic
     of China (6.4%), India (6.3%), and Australia (5.8%).
 * Source of Funding:
   * It raises capital regularly through the international bond markets.
   * The ADB also relies on member contributions, retained earnings from
     lending, and the repayment of loans for the funding of the organization.
