ADB’s own resources of $17.47 billion for loans, grants, guarantees and equity investments, and $169 million for technical assistance (TA) mobilized $14.06 billion of cofinancing operations

Of the total cofinancing, $8.46 billion was obtained through partnerships with official and other concessional financing sources, including bilateral and multilateral organizations, trust funds, other public agencies and foundations. Financing support from these development partners increased by 37% from $6.17 billion in 2015. Operational performance in 2016 proves that ADB’s partnerships remain strong as evidenced by the highlights and milestones.

2016 Milestones

• ADB reached $8.32 billion in official and other concessional cofinancing for 78 projects and $148 million for 102 TA projects—the highest in ADB’s history.
• In March 2016, ADB and the Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA) established the Leading Asia’s Private Sector Infrastructure Fund (LEAP) to support private infrastructure investments in Asia and the Pacific.

• ADB and Agence Française de Développement (AFD) renewed their cooperation with the signing of a new $1.5 billion Framework Cofinancing Agreement in October 2016.
