Ngân hàng Phát triển châu Á (ADB) là một ngân hàng phát triển khu vực được thành lập năm 1966 nhằm thúc đẩy sự phát triển về kinh tế, xã hội ở các nước châu Á Thái Bình Dương thông qua các khoản tín dụng và hỗ trợ kĩ thuật, lần lượt vào khoảng 6 tỉ và 180 triệu USD mỗi năm. ADB là một thể chế phát triển tài chính đa phương với 66 thành viên bao gồm 47 nước trong khu vực và 19 nước ở các nơi khác trên khắp toàn cầu. ADB hướng đến viễn cảnh về một khu vực không có đói nghèo, và tự đặt cho nó sứ mệnh giúp đỡ các quốc gia thành viên đang phát triển giảm đói nghèo và nâng cao mức sống người dân. Chức năng của ADB là hỗ trợ sự tăng trưởng kinh tế bền vững và công bằng, phát triển xã hội, quản lý kinh tế tốt. Hỗ trợ tăng trưởng kinh tế bền vững và công bằng: tăng trưởng kinh tế không tự nhiên có tính bền vững và thường làm gia tăng mất công bằng. Để tăng trưởng bền vững và công bằng, cần có sự can thiệp trong khi vẫn đảm bảo một sự phát triển thân thiện vớithị trường. Phát triển xã hội: giúp đỡ các cá nhân, nhóm, cộng đồng để giảm thiểu những rủi ro trong quá trìnhphát triển kinh tế. Quản lý kinh tế tốt: thực hiên các chính sách kinh tế một cách có trách nhiệm, có sự tham gia, có khả năng dự đoán, và minh bạch, chốngtham nhũng. Để thực hiện được chức năng nói trên, ADB đề ra các mục tiêu cho hoạt động của mình, bao gồm: bảo vệ môi trường, hỗ trợgiớivà phát triển, phát triển khu vực tư nhân, hỗ trợ hợp tác khu vực. Bảo vệ môi trường: người nghèo ở thường bị buộc phải sống ở những khu vực có điều kiện môi trường bất lợi. Muốn xóa nghèo thì phải bảo vệ môi trường. Hỗ trợ giới: ở nhiều nước, phần lớn người nghèo là phụ nữ. Hỗ trợ phụ nữ phát triển là một biện pháp xóa nghèo. Hỗ trợ khu vực tư nhân: khuyến khích cải cách và hoàn thiện môi trường chính sách để tạo thuận lợi chokinh tế tư nhân, hỗ trợ sự hợp tác giữa khu vực nhà nước và khu vực tư nhân, cho vay và hỗ trợ kỹ thuật cho cácxí nghiệptư nhân vàthể chế tài chínhtư nhân Khuyến khích hợp tác và liên kết khu vực: khuyến khích sự hợp tác giữa các chính phủ để phát triển cơ sở hạ tầng, bảo vệ môi trường, thúc đẩy thương mạivàđầu tư, ... Hoạt động của ADB nhắm tới việc cải thiện phúc lợi cho người dân châu Á -Thái Bình Dương, đặc biệt là 1,9 tỉ người đang sống dưới mức 2 USD/ngày. Cho dù người ta có nói nhiều về những thành công đi chăng nữa, thì sự thật, châu Á Thái Bình Dương vẫn là nơi có đến 2/3 số người nghèo của thế giới. ADB được xây dựng như một bản sao của World Bank, với nguồn vốn thành lập xuất phát từ Chính phủ các nước Mỹ, Nhật và Tây Âu. Nguồn tài trợ chính cho các khoản cho vay của ADB là từ việc phát hành trái phiếu trên thị trường châu Âu. Dù mức tăng trưởng kinh tế ở một số nước thành viên trong thời gian gần đây đã dẫn đến một số thay đổi nào đó, thì hầu như trong suốt lịch sử của ADB, ngân hàng này vẫn hoạt động trên cơ sở các dự án, đặc biệt là trong những lĩnh vực như đầu tư vào cơ sở hạ tầng, phát triển nông nghiệp và cấp vốn vay cho các ngành công nghiệp cơ bản ở các nước thành viên. Trên lý thuyết, ADB là người cho vay của các Chính phủ và các tổ chức của Chính phủ, song nó còn tham gia vào quá trình nâng cao tính thanh khoản và tối ưu hoá hoạt động trong các khu vực tư nhân ở các nước thành viên trong khu vực. Về cơ cấu tổ chức, cơ quan ra quyết định cao nhất của ADB là Ban Thống đốc do mỗi quốc gia thành viên đóng góp một đại diện. Đến lượt nó ban Thống đốc lại tự bầu ra trong số họ 12 thành viên của Ban Giám đốc và các cấp phó của họ. 8 trong số 12 thành viên này là đại diện của các quốc gia trong khu vực(các quốc gia châu Á - Thái Bình Dương) và số còn lại là từ các quốc gia ngoài khu vực. Ban Thống đốc còn bầu ra chủ tịch Ngân hàng, là người đứng đầu Ban Giám đốc và điều hành ADB. Mỗi chủ tịch giữ cương vị của mình trong một nhiệm kì kéo dài 5 năm và có thể được tái đắc cử. Theo truyền thống và vì Nhật Bản là một trong những cổ đông lớn nhất của ADB, cho nên chủ tịch của ADB đã luôn là người Nhật. Chủ tịch đương nhiệm của ADB là Haruhiko Kuroda. Trụ sở của ngân hàng ADB đặt tại thành phố Mandaluyong, Metro Manila, Philippine, và có văn phòng đại diện trên khắp thế giới. Hiện ADB có khoảng 2400 nhân viên, đến từ 53 trên tổng số 66 quốc gia thành viên, và hơn một nửa số nhân viên của họ là người Philippin. CHXH Việt Nam là thành viên của ADB từ năm 1966. Dưới đây là danh sách các quốc gia và vùng lãnh thổ thành viên của ADB. Con số sau mỗi tên nước hoặc vùng lãnh thổ là năm tham gia. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is a regional development bank established on 19 December 1966, which is headquartered in 6 ADB Avenue, Mandaluyong, Metro Manila 1550, Philippines. The bank also maintains 31 field offices around the world to promote social and economic development in Asia. The bank admits the members of the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP, formerly the Economic Commission for Asia and the Far East or ECAFE), and non-regional developed countries. Starting with 31 members at its establishment, ADB now has 68 members. The ADB was modeled closely on the World Bank and has a similar weighted voting system, where votes are distributed in proportion with members' capital subscriptions. ADB releases an annual report that summarizes its operations, budget, and other materials for review by the public. The ADB-Japan Scholarship Program (ADB-JSP) enrolls about 300 students annually in academic institutions located in 10 countries within the Region. After completing their study programs, scholars are expected to contribute to the economic and social development of their home countries. ADB holds the status of an official United Nations Observer. As of 31 December 2020, Japan and the United States each holds the largest proportion of shares at 15.571%. China holds 6.429%, India holds 6.317%, and Australia holds 5.773%. Organization[edit]The highest policy-making body of the bank is the Board of Governors, composed of one representative from each member state. The Board of Governors, in turn, elect among themselves the twelve members of the board of directors and their deputies. Eight of the twelve members come from regional (Asia-Pacific) members while the others come from non-regional members. The Board of Governors also elect the bank's president, who is the chairperson of the board of directors and manages ADB. The president has a term of office lasting five years, and may be re-elected. Traditionally, and because Japan is one of the largest shareholders of the bank, the president has always been Japanese. The current president is Masatsugu Asakawa. He succeeded Takehiko Nakao on 17 January 2020, who succeeded Haruhiko Kuroda in 2013. The headquarters of the bank is at 6 ADB Avenue, Mandaluyong, Metro Manila, Philippines, and it has 42 field offices in Asia and the Pacific and representative offices in Washington, Frankfurt, Tokyo and Sydney. The bank employs about 3,000 people, representing 60 of its 68 members. List of presidents[edit]Name Dates Nationality Takeshi Watanabe 1966–1972 (*) As from 17 January 2020, Masatsugu Asakawa was president of ADB. History[edit]1960s[edit]As early as 1956, Japan Finance Minister Hisato Ichimada had suggested to United States Secretary of State John Foster Dulles that development projects in Southeast Asia could be supported by a new financial institution for the region. A year later, Japanese Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi announced that Japan intended to sponsor the establishment of a regional development fund with resources largely from Japan and other industrial countries. But the US did not warm to the plan and the concept was shelved. See full account in "Banking the Future of Asia and the Pacific: 50 Years of the Asian Development Bank," July 2017. The idea came up again late in 1962 when Kaoru Ohashi, an economist from a research institute in Tokyo, visited Takeshi Watanabe, then a private financial consultant in Tokyo, and proposed a study group to form a development bank for the Asian region. The group met regularly in 1963, examining various scenarios for setting up a new institution and drew on Watanabe's experiences with the World Bank. However, the idea received a cool reception from the World Bank itself and the study group became discouraged. In parallel, the concept was formally proposed at a trade conference organized by the Economic Commission for Asia and the Far East (ECAFE) in 1963 by a young Thai economist, Paul Sithi-Amnuai. (ESCAP, United Nations Publication March 2007, "The first parliament of Asia" pp. 65). Despite an initial mixed reaction, support for the establishment of a new bank soon grew. An expert group was convened to study the idea, with Japan invited to contribute to the group. When Watanabe was recommended, the two streams proposing a new bank—from ECAFE and Japan—came together. Initially, the US was on the fence, not opposing the idea but not ready to commit financial support. But a new bank for Asia was soon seen to fit in with a broader program of assistance to Asia planned by United States President Lyndon B. Johnson in the wake of the escalating U.S. military support for the government of South Vietnam. As a key player in the concept, Japan hoped that the ADB offices would be in Tokyo. However, eight other cities had also expressed an interest: Bangkok, Colombo, Kabul, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Phnom Penh, Singapore, and Tehran. To decide, the 18 prospective regional members of the new bank held three rounds of votes at a ministerial conference in Manila in November/December 1965. In the first round on 30 November, Tokyo failed to win a majority, so a second ballot was held the next day at noon. Although Japan was in the lead, it was still inconclusive, so a final vote was held after lunch. In the third poll, Tokyo gained eight votes to Manila's nine, with one abstention. Therefore, Manila was declared the host of the new development bank; the Japanese were mystified and deeply disappointed. Watanabe later wrote in his personal history of ADB: "I felt as if the child I had so carefully reared had been taken away to a distant country." (Asian Development Bank publication, "Towards a New Asia", 1977, p. 16) As intensive work took place during 1966 to prepare for the opening of the new bank in Manila, high on the agenda was choice of president. Japanese Prime Minister Eisaku Satō asked Watanabe to be a candidate. Although he initially declined, pressure came from other countries and Watanabe agreed. In the absence of any other candidates, Watanabe was elected first President of the Asian Development Bank at its Inaugural Meeting on 24 November 1966. By the end of 1972, Japan had contributed $173.7 million (22.6% of the total) to the ordinary capital resources and $122.6 million (59.6% of the total) to the special funds. In contrast, the United States contributed only $1.25 million to the special fund. After its creation in the 1960s, ADB focused much of its assistance on food production and rural development. At the time, Asia was one of the poorest regions in the world. Early loans went largely to Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, South Korea and the Philippines; these countries accounted for 78.48% of the total ADB loans between 1967 and 1972. Moreover, Japan received tangible benefits, 41.67% of the total procurements between 1967 and 1976. Japan tied its special funds contributions to its preferred sectors and regions and procurements of its goods and services, as reflected in its $100 million donation for the Agricultural Special Fund in April 1968. Watanabe served as the first ADB president to 1972. 1970s–1980s[edit]In the 1970s, ADB's assistance to developing countries in Asia expanded into education and health, and then to infrastructure and industry. The gradual emergence of Asian economies in the latter part of the decade spurred demand for better infrastructure to support economic growth. ADB focused on improving roads and providing electricity. When the world suffered its first oil price shock, ADB shifted more of its assistance to support energy projects, especially those promoting the development of domestic energy sources in member countries. Following considerable pressure from the Reagan Administration in the 1980s, ADB reluctantly began working with the private sector in an attempt to increase the impact of its development assistance to poor countries in Asia and the Pacific. In the wake of the second oil crisis, ADB expanded its assistance to energy projects. In 1982, ADB opened its first field office, in Bangladesh, and later in the decade, it expanded its work with non-government organizations (NGOs). Japanese presidents Inoue Shiro (1972–76) and Yoshida Taroichi (1976–81) took the spotlight in the 1970s. Fujioka Masao, the fourth president (1981–90), adopted an assertive leadership style, launching an ambitious plan to expand the ADB into a high-impact development agency. On November 18, 1972, the Bank inaugurated its headquarters along Roxas Boulevard in Pasay City, Philippines. In the early 1990s, ADB moved its offices to Ortigas Center in Pasig City, with the Department of Foreign Affairs (Philippines) taking over its old Pasay premises. 1990s[edit]In the 1990s, ADB began promoting regional cooperation by helping the countries on the Mekong River to trade and work together. The decade also saw an expansion of ADB's membership with the addition of several Central Asian countries following the end of the Cold War. In mid-1997, ADB responded to the financial crisis that hit the region with projects designed to strengthen financial sectors and create social safety nets for the poor. During the crisis, ADB approved its largest single loan – a $4 billion emergency loan to South Korea. In 1999, ADB adopted poverty reduction as its overarching goal. 2000s[edit]The early 2000s saw a dramatic expansion of private sector finance. While the institution had such operations since the 1980s (under pressure from the Reagan Administration) the early attempts were highly unsuccessful with low lending volumes, considerable losses and financial scandals associated with an entity named AFIC. However, beginning in 2002, the ADB undertook a dramatic expansion of private sector lending under a new team. Over the course of the next six years, the Private Sector Operations Department (PSOD) grew by a factor of 41 times the 2001 levels of new financings and earnings for the ADB. This culminated with the Board's formal recognition of these achievements in March 2008, when the Board of Directors formally adopted the Long Term Strategic Framework (LTSF). That document formally stated that assistance to private sector development was the lead priority of the ADB and that it should constitute 50% of the bank's lending by 2020. In 2003, the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) epidemic hit the region and ADB responded with programs to help the countries in the region work together to address infectious diseases, including avian influenza and HIV/AIDS. ADB also responded to a multitude of natural disasters in the region, committing more than $850 million for recovery in areas of India, Indonesia, Maldives, and Sri Lanka which were impacted by the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami. In addition, $1 billion in loans and grants was provided to the victims of the October 2005 earthquake in Pakistan. In December 2005, China donated $20 million to the ADB for a regional poverty alleviation fund; China's first such fund set up at an international institution. In 2009, ADB's Board of Governors agreed to triple ADB's capital base from $55 billion to $165 billion, giving it much-needed resources to respond to the global economic crisis. The 200% increase is the largest in ADB's history, and was the first since 1994. 2010s[edit]Asia moved beyond the economic crisis and by 2010 had emerged as a new engine of global economic growth though it remained home to two-thirds of the world's poor. In addition, the increasing prosperity of many people in the region created a widening income gap that left many people behind. ADB responded to this with loans and grants that encouraged economic growth. In early 2012, the ADB began to re-engage with Myanmar in response to reforms initiated by the government. In April 2014, ADB opened an office in Myanmar and resumed making loans and grants to the country. In 2017, ADB combined the lending operations of its Asian Development Fund (ADF) with its ordinary capital resources (OCR). The result was to expand the OCR balance sheet to permit increasing annual lending and grants to $20 billion by 2020 — 50% more than the previous level. In 2020, ADB gave a $2 million grant from the Asia Pacific Disaster Response Fund, to support the Armenian government in the fight against the spread of COVID-19 pandemic. In the same year, the ADB committed a $20 million loan to Electric Networks of Armenia, that will ensure electricity for the citizens during the pandemic, as well as approved $500,000 in regional technical assistance to procure personal protective equipment and other medical supplies. Objectives and activities[edit]Aim[edit]The ADB defines itself as a social development organization that is dedicated to reducing poverty in Asia and the Pacific through inclusive economic growth, environmentally sustainable growth, and regional integration. This is carried out through investments – in the form of loans, grants and information sharing – in infrastructure, health care services, financial and public administration systems, helping countries prepare for the impact of climate change or better manage their natural resources, as well as other areas. Focus areas[edit]Eighty percent of ADB's lending is concentrated public sector lending in five operational areas.
Financings[edit]The ADB offers "hard" loans on commercial terms primarily to middle income countries in Asia and "soft" loans with lower interest rates to poorer countries in the region. Based on a new policy, both types of loans will be sourced starting January 2017 from the bank's ordinary capital resources (OCR), which functions as its general operational fund. The ADB's Private Sector Department (PSOD) can and does offer a broader range of financings beyond commercial loans. They also have the capability to provide guarantees, equity and mezzanine finance (a combination of debt and equity). In 2017, ADB lent $19.1 billion of which $3.2 billion went to private enterprises, as part of its "non-sovereign" operations. ADB's operations in 2017, including grants and co-financing, totaled $28.9 billion. ADB obtains its funding by issuing bonds on the world's capital markets. It also relies on the contributions of member countries, retained earnings from lending operations, and the repayment of loans. Five largest borrowing countries Country 2018 2017 2016 2015 $ million % $ million % $ million % $ million % Private sector investments[edit]ADB provides direct financial assistance, in the form of debt, equity and mezzanine finance to private sector companies, for projects that have clear social benefits beyond the financial rate of return. ADB's participation is usually limited but it leverages a large amount of funds from commercial sources to finance these projects by holding no more than 25% of any given transaction. Co-financing[edit]ADB partners with other development organizations on some projects to increase the amount of funding available. In 2014, $9.2 billion—or nearly half—of ADB's $22.9 billion in operations were financed by other organizations. According to Jason Rush, Principal Communication Specialist, the Bank communicates with many other multilateral organizations. Funds and resources[edit]More than 50 financing partnership facilities, trust funds, and other funds – totaling several billion each year – are administered by ADB and put toward projects that promote social and economic development in Asia and the Pacific. ADB has raised Rupees 5 billion or around Rupees 500 crores from its issuance of 5-year offshore Indian rupee (INR) linked bonds. On 26 Feb 2020, ADB raises $118 million from rupee-linked bonds and supporting the development of India International Exchange in India, as it also contributes to an established yield curve which stretches from 2021 through 2030 with $1 billion of outstanding bonds. Access to information[edit]ADB has an information disclosure policy that presumes all information that is produced by the institution should be disclosed to the public unless there is a specific reason to keep it confidential. The policy calls for accountability and transparency in operations and the timely response to requests for information and documents. ADB does not disclose information that jeopardizes personal privacy, safety and security, certain financial and commercial information, as well as other exceptions. Notable projects and technical assistance[edit]
Criticism[edit]Since the ADB's early days, critics have charged that the two major donors, Japan and the United States, have had extensive influence over lending, policy and staffing decisions. Oxfam Australia has criticized the Asian Development Bank for insensitivity to local communities. "Operating at a global and international level, these banks can undermine people's human rights through projects that have detrimental outcomes for poor and marginalized communities." The bank also received criticism from the United Nations Environmental Program, stating in a report that "much of the growth has bypassed more than 70 percent of its rural population, many of whom are directly dependent on natural resources for livelihoods and incomes." There had been criticism that ADB's large scale projects cause social and environmental damage due to lack of oversight. One of the most controversial ADB-related projects is Thailand's Mae Moh coal-fired power station. Environmental and human rights activists say ADB's environmental safeguards policy as well as policies for indigenous peoples and involuntary resettlement, while usually up to international standards on paper, are often ignored in practice, are too vague or weak to be effective, or are simply not enforced by bank officials. The bank has been criticized over its role and relevance in the food crisis. The ADB has been accused by civil society of ignoring warnings leading up the crisis and also contributing to it by pushing loan conditions that many say unfairly pressure governments to deregulate and privatize agriculture, leading to problems such as the rice supply shortage in Southeast Asia. Indeed, whereas the Private Sector Operations Department (PSOD) closed out that year with financings of $2.4 billion, the ADB has significantly dropped below that level in the years since and is clearly not on the path to achieving its stated goal of 50% of financings to the private sector by 2020. Critics also point out that the PSOD is the only Department that actually makes money for the ADB. Hence, with the vast majority of loans going to concessionary (sub-market) loans to the public sector, the ADB is facing considerable financial difficulty and continuous operating losses. Countries with the largest subscribed capital and voting rights[edit]The following table are amounts for 20 largest countries by subscribed capital and voting power at the Asian Development Bank as of December 2021.
