What We Do

ADB’s Response to COVID-19

“This pandemic threatens to severely set back economic, social, and development gains in Asia and the Pacific, reverse progress on poverty reduction, and throw economies into recession,” said ADB President Masatsugu Asakawa.

An assistance package of $20 billion has been deployed to help our developing members counter the severe impacts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and address the urgent needs of the sick, the poor, and the vulnerable.

We are supporting our developing members in responding to the COVID-19 outbreak through finance, knowledge, and partnerships.
