How much assistance does ADB give?
Our total support for any project may not exceed: • either 25 per cent of the total cost of the project • or US$75 million, whichever is lower. Our aim is to catalyze financing from local or foreign sources, not to compete with them: • our equity investments must be less than 25 per cent of the total share capital • we cannot be the largest single investor in an enterprise. If necessary, we mobilize additional debt from other banks, through parallel financing, cofinancing, or guarantees. In such cases, our total assistance may exceed 25 percent of the project cost, but should still be below 50 percent. We require security, which will be different in every case.
