The Board of Governors of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) has approved the institution’s 2025 financial statements along with the allocation of $1.46 billion in net income from its ordinary capital resources. The decision was announced during the ADB Annual Meeting in Samarkand, Uzbekistan.
The majority of the funds, $926.4 million, will be directed to ADB’s ordinary reserve to strengthen capital growth and provide a stable earnings base. An additional $393.5 million will go to the Asian Development Fund, which supports the poorest and most vulnerable member countries through grants.
Further allocations include $130 million to the Technical Assistance Special Fund, which provides grants to borrowing members for project preparation and policy studies, and $10 million to the Asia Pacific Disaster Response Fund, which delivers rapid life‑saving aid in the aftermath of natural disasters.
ADB emphasized that allocable net income refers to net income after adjustments and appropriations, ensuring resources are strategically directed to strengthen resilience and support development priorities. Founded in 1966 and owned by 69 members, ADB continues to play a leading role in promoting sustainable, inclusive, and resilient growth across Asia and the Pacific.
