SUMMARY INFORMATION

(As of 31 December 2022, unless otherwise indicated)

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is an international organization established in 1966 and owned by its 68 members. Under Strategy 2030, which sets the direction for ADB to respond effectively to the changing needs of Asia and the Pacific, ADB continues to sustain its efforts to achieve a prosperous, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable Asia and the Pacific. To achieve Strategy 2030’s vision, ADB focuses on seven operational priorities and in addition, focus on expanding private sector operations, catalyzing and mobilizing financial resources, and strengthening knowledge services. ADB assists its members and partners by providing loans, technical assistance, grants, guarantees, and equity investments to promote social and economic development.

ADB was founded mainly to act as a financial intermediary to transfer resources from global capital markets to developing member countries for economic development. Its ability to intermediate funds from global capital markets for lending to its developing members is an important element in achieving its development missions.

ADB’s five largest shareholders are Japan and the United States (each with 15.6% of total shares), the People’s Republic of China (6.4%), India (6.3%), and Australia (5.8%).

Equity: ADB’s members have subscribed to $141,589 million of capital as of 31 December 2022, $7,095 million of which was for paid-in shares subscribed and the remainder of which is callable. The callable capital is available as needed for debt service payments and thus provides the ultimate backing for ADB’s borrowings and guarantees. It cannot be called to make loans.

Net Income: Net income for 2022 was $2,169 million, as compared to net income of $730 million in 2021. Allocable net income for the year ended 31 December 2022 was $1,099 million, compared with $1,161 million in 2021.

Lending Headroom: ADB’s lending limitation policy limits the total amount of disbursed loans, disbursed equity investments and related prudential buffer, and the maximum amount that could be demanded from ADB under its guarantee portfolio, to the total amount of ADB’s unimpaired subscribed capital, reserves, and surplus, exclusive of the special reserve. As of 31 December 2022, the total of such loans (including other debt securities), equity investments and related prudential buffer, and guarantees was $146,516 million ($139,521 million – 2021), compared with the maximum lending ceiling of $188,206 million ($195,976 million – 2021), which resulted in a headroom of $41,690 million ($56,455 million – 2021).

5

Risk Management: ADB seeks to mitigate exchange rate risks by matching its liabilities in various currencies with assets in those same currencies. ADB uses derivatives, including currency and interest rate swaps, in connection with its operations in order to reduce its borrowing costs, generate investment income, and manage its balance sheet risks. The derivative assets and liabilities totaled $93,436 million and $102,965 million, respectively. The notional principal amount of outstanding interest rate swaps totaled $154,742 million. To control its credit exposures on swaps, ADB has set credit rating requirements for counterparties. In addition, ADB requires all swap transactions to be subject to collateral support requirements.

The above information should be read in conjunction with the detailed information and financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Information Statement.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Under Strategy 2030, which sets the direction for the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to respond effectively to the changing needs of Asia and the Pacific, ADB continues to sustain its efforts to achieve a prosperous, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable Asia and the Pacific. Strategy 2030’s vision is more relevant today as (i) the pandemic reversed development gains in the region particularly for the poor and vulnerable; (ii) developing member countries (DMCs) are adversely impacted by rising food and fuel prices; (iii) economic recovery is expected to prolong; and (iv) extreme weather events linked to climate change are more frequent and intense.[1]

In 2022, ADB delivered total commitments of $20.5 billion ($22.8 billion – 2021) and disbursements of $19.7 billion ($18.2 billion – 2021).[2] As the development needs of DMCs become more demanding and the operating environment gets more complex, ADB continues to boost its capacity to deliver high-quality solutions and innovative initiatives efficiently and in a timely manner (footnote 1).

Financial Results: Ordinary capital resources (OCR) reported net income of $2,169 million ($730 million – 2021) and allocable net income of $1,099 million ($1,161 million – 2021) in 2022. The increase in net income was primarily driven by the unrealized gains from fair value changes of financial instruments. The allocable net income (non-GAAP measure) in 2022 was lower than 2021 mainly due to the $7 million additional provision for credit losses in 2022 ($69 million release of provision – 2021) and lower realized gains from sale of equity investments, partially offset by the decrease in administrative expenses.

The OCR balance sheet remained sound, while it was marginally impacted by rising interest rates and strengthening United States (US) dollar. Loans outstanding balance as of 31 December 2022 was $144.3 billion, a $7.1 billion increase from $137.2 billion at the end of 2021. Liquidity investments after swaps increased by $2.6 billion to $47.5 billion at the end of 2022 from $44.9 billion as of 31 December 2021. Borrowings after swaps increased by $10.9 billion to $146.1 billion as of 31 December 2022 from $135.2 billion at the end of 2021. In 2022, ADB issued $36.1 billion bonds ($35.8 billion – 2021).

Reference Rate Transition: Starting 1 January 2022, the Flexible Loan Product (FLP) is the primary loan product for sovereign regular OCR and nonsovereign operations replacing the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR)-based loan (LBL). The cost-base rate changed from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) for US dollar-denominated loans and to the Tokyo Overnight Average Rate (TONA) for yen-denominated loans. All sovereign regular OCR LBLs completed the transition to FLP loans in 2022. Nonsovereign LBLs are expected to complete the transition to FLP loans in 2023.

I. OVERVIEW

The Asian Development Bank (ADB), a multilateral development bank, was established in 1966 under the Agreement Establishing the Asian Development Bank (the Charter).[3] ADB is owned by 68 members, 49 of which are regional members providing 63.4% of its capital and 19 nonregional members providing 36.6% of its capital.

ADB provides various forms of financial assistance to its developing member countries (DMCs). The main instruments are loans, technical assistance (TA), grants, guarantees, and equity investments. These instruments are funded through ordinary capital resources (OCR), Special Funds, and trust funds. The Charter requires that funds from each resource be kept and used separately. Trust funds are generally funded by contributions and administered by ADB as the trustee.

ADB also offers debt management products to its sovereign and sovereign-guaranteed borrowers and entities fully guaranteed by members such as interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps (including local currency swaps) for their third-party liabilities. In addition, ADB provides policy dialogue and transaction advisory services to its DMCs and private sector clients to promote – public private partnerships in the region, and mobilizes financial resources through its cofinancing operations, which access official and other concessional, commercial, and export credit sources to maximize the development impact of its assistance. Cofinancing for ADB projects can be in the form of external loans, grants for TA and components of loans, equity investments, and credit enhancement products such as guarantees and syndications.

In 2022, ADB continued to focus on implementing Strategy 2030, its long-term corporate strategy, to achieve a prosperous, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable Asia and the Pacific. ADB delivered total commitments of $20.5 billion ($22.8 billion – 2021) and total disbursements of $19.7 billion ($18.2 billion – 2021) (footnote 2).

ADB has adopted a new operating model to accelerate its transformation and more effectively serve the rapidly changing needs of its DMCs in Asia and the Pacific. The new operating model will enable ADB to increase its capacity as the region’s climate bank; strengthen its work to develop the private sector and mobilize private investments in the region; provide a larger range of high-quality development solutions for its DMCs; and modernize ways of working to make it more responsive, agile and closer to clients. These four key shifts will help ADB deliver on the development goals of Strategy 2030.

Underpinning its role as Asia and the Pacific’s climate bank, ADB committed $6.7 billion in climate financing in 2022, making headway toward its elevated ambition to deliver $100 billion in cumulative climate finance to its DMCs from 2019 to 2030.

II. ORDINARY CAPITAL RESOURCES

OCR provides financial assistance to sovereign and nonsovereign borrowers in DMCs in the form of loans, equity investments, and other debt securities. In addition to direct lending, OCR also provides guarantees to assist DMC governments and nonsovereign borrowers in securing commercial funds for ADB-assisted projects and provides transaction advisory services to sovereign and nonsovereign clients.

Funding of OCR lending, investment and other ordinary operations comes from three distinct sources: borrowings from the capital markets and private placements; paid-in capital provided by shareholders; and accumulated retained income (reserves). To fund its OCR operations, ADB issues debt securities in the international and domestic capital markets. ADB's debt securities carry the highest possible investment ratings from three major international credit rating agencies. The funding strategy is aimed at ensuring availability of funds for operations at the most stable and lowest possible cost. Such strategy has enabled OCR to achieve cost-efficient funding levels for its borrowing members.

A. Basis of Financial Reporting

ADB’s basis of financial reporting are (i) statutory reporting, which is in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP) reporting requirements, and (ii) management reporting, which is used as the primary measure to make financial management decisions and to monitor key financial ratios. The key financial performance indicator under these two bases is net income for statutory reporting and allocable net income for management reporting.

Statutory reporting. ADB prepares OCR financial statements in accordance with US GAAP. ADB manages its balance sheet by selectively using derivatives to minimize interest rate and currency risks associated with its financial instruments. Derivatives are used to enhance asset and liability management of individual positions and overall portfolios. ADB has elected not to define any qualifying hedging relationships, not because economic hedges do not exist, but rather because the application of hedging criteria under the accounting standards does not make fully evident ADB’s risk management strategies.

ADB reports all derivative instruments on the balance sheet at fair value and recognizes the changes in fair value for the year as part of net income. To apply a consistent accounting treatment between the borrowings and their related swaps, ADB elects to measure all borrowings that are swapped or are intended to be swapped in the future at fair value. All investments for liquidity purpose, other debt securities classified as available for sale, and equity investments (except for those accounted for under the equity method) are reported at fair value. ADB continues to report its loans, other debt securities classified as held-to-maturity, and the remaining borrowings at amortized cost.

Management reporting (non-GAAP measure). ADB also reports OCR financial results based on internal management reporting basis which is used as the primary measure to make financial management decisions and to monitor key financial ratios.

ADB reports allocable net income, which is defined as net income after appropriation of guarantee fees to special reserve and certain adjustments reported in the cumulative revaluation adjustments account.[4] The cumulative revaluation adjustments account sets aside the impact of unrealized gains or losses from fair value changes associated with certain financial instruments

4 ADB’s Charter stipulates that the Board of Governors shall determine the allocation of net income annually.

10

and from translation adjustments of non-functional currencies, and unrealized gains or losses from equity investments accounted for under the equity method.

ADB intends to hold most borrowings and swaps until maturity or call, hence interim net unrealized gains and losses reported under the statutory reporting basis will generally converge with the net realized income and expenses that ADB recognizes over the life of these financial instruments.

For equity investments, ADB generally holds its investments until ADB’s development role has been fulfilled. Any gains or losses from equity investments recorded at fair value are realized and are deemed available for allocation when ADB exits the investments. Therefore, the periodic net unrealized gains or losses are excluded from the allocable net income until the exit date.

The management reporting basis balance sheet reconciled from the statutory reporting basis balance sheet as of 31 December 2022 is provided in the Appendix.

B. Overall Financial Results

OCR reported net income of $2,169 million ($730 million – 2021) and allocable net income of $1,099 million ($1,161 million – 2021) for the year ended 31 December 2022. Table 1 presents the overall financial results for 2022 and 2021.

d Net of $1 million (nil – 2021) realized gains from early redemption of borrowings.

• e Sale of equity investments in 2022 resulted in reclassification of the unrealized gains up to 31 December 2021 of $63 million ($111 million – up to 31 December 2020) to realized gains. The realized gains up to the date of sale in 2022 amounted to $71 million ($127 million – 2021).

12

Net income. Net income for 2022 increased to $2,169 million, from $730 million reported in 2021, mainly because of the unrealized gains from fair value change of financial instruments.

Allocable net income.[5] OCR allocable net income for the year ended 31 December 2022 decreased to $1,099 million from $1,161 million in 2021, mainly due to the additional provision for credit losses and lower realized gains from sale of equity investments, partially offset by decrease in administrative expenses.

The change in net income and allocable net income were driven by the following factors.

• Revenue from loans increased by $1,743 million primarily because of the higher return on sovereign regular OCR loans resulted from the higher interest rate environment (Figure 1), and increase in average loans outstanding in 2022 (Figure 2),

• Revenue from investments for liquidity purpose increased by $475 million mainly because of the $548 million increase in interest revenue driven by the yield improvement, offset by the realized losses resulting from divestments in rising interest rate environment (Figure 1) ($54 million realized losses – 2022; $19 million realized gains – 2021),

• Revenue from equity investments, excluding unrealized gains on equity method investments, decreased by $49 million ($85 million – 2022, $134 million – 2021) mainly because of the $51 million decrease in realized gains from sale of equity investments,

• Borrowings and related expenses increased by $2,179 million mainly because of the higher interest rate environment (Figure 1), and increase in average outstanding borrowings (Figure 2). Consistent with the market movements, average cost of borrowings under management reporting basis increased to 1.9% in 2022 from 0.3% in 2021,

• Provision for credit losses amounted to $7 million in 2022, compared to $69 million release of provision in 2021. The provision expense of $7 million in 2022 resulted from the additional provision for sovereign portfolio mainly because of rating downgrades for certain sovereign borrowers, offset by the decrease in nonsovereign provision driven by the exposure decline.

• Administrative expenses of OCR decreased by $44 million primarily because of the lower net periodic pension and post-retirement medical benefit costs due to improved funded status, and

• $1,026 million net unrealized gains for the year ended 31 December 2022 ($601 million net unrealized losses – 2021) was largely due to the fair value gains of borrowings and derivatives driven mainly by the rising interest rates and basis spreads movement (Table 2).

Selected Financial data . Selected financial data are presented in Table 3. Under statutory reporting, return on equity and return on earning assets increased because of higher net income in 2022 compared to 2021. Under management reporting basis, the return on earning assets and return on equity decreased because of the lower allocable net income. Return on loans, return on investments for liquidity purpose, and cost of borrowings have increased, under both reporting bases, consistent with the market interest rate movements.

C. Operating Activities

ADB provides financial assistance under its ordinary operations to its DMCs through loans, guarantees, equity investments and other debt securities to help DMCs meet their development needs. ADB also provides policy dialogue and transaction advisory services to its DMCs and private sector clients to promote public–private partnerships in the region. ADB promotes cofinancing of its projects and programs to complement its assistance with funds from official and commercial sources, including export credit agencies. ADB uses commitments as the basis for corporate targets to measure operational performance for both sovereign and nonsovereign operations. Table 3 shows the 3-year trend in operational highlights.

1. Loans

ADB is authorized under the Charter to make, participate in or guarantee loans to its DMCs, to any of their agencies, instrumentalities or political subdivisions, and to any entities or enterprises operating within such countries, as well as to international or regional agencies or entities concerned with the economic development of the region. Such loans are made only for projects or programs of high developmental priority.

ADB’s projects undergo an evaluation and approval process that considers factors such as economic, social, environmental, technical, institutional and financial feasibility, integrity, governance, effect on the general development activity of the country, contribution to economic development, capacity of the borrowing country to service additional external debt, effect on domestic savings and balance of payments, impact of new technologies on productivity, and expansion of employment opportunities.

ADB generally requires that the proceeds of its loans and the proceeds of the loans it guarantees be used only for procurement of goods and services produced in and supplied from member countries. Loan disbursements must comply with the requirements specified in the loan agreements. ADB’s staff review progress and monitor compliance with ADB policies. ADB’s Independent Evaluation Department, reporting directly to ADB’s Board of Directors, evaluates the development effectiveness of ADB’s operations.

Lending Headroom. ADB’s lending limitation policy limits the total amount of disbursed loans, disbursed equity investments and related prudential buffer, and the maximum amount that could be demanded from ADB under its guarantee portfolio, to the total amount of ADB’s unimpaired subscribed capital, reserves, and surplus, exclusive of the special reserve. As of 31 December 2022, the total of such loans (including other debt securities), equity investments and related prudential buffer, and guarantees was $146,516 million ($139,521 million – 2021), compared to the maximum lending ceiling of $188,206 million ($195,976 million – 2021), which resulted in a headroom of $41,690 million ($56,455 million – 2021).

Loans — operations. ADB’s OCR lending falls into two categories: sovereign and nonsovereign. Sovereign loans consist of sovereign regular OCR loans and sovereign concessional OCR loans. Sovereign regular OCR loans are available to sovereign and sovereign-guaranteed borrowers in ADB DMCs that have attained higher economic development and sovereign concessional OCR loans are available for the poorest and most vulnerable members of ADB. ADB also provides lending without sovereign guarantee to privately-held or state-owned or subsovereign entities. In its nonsovereign operations, ADB provides financial assistance based on market-based terms and conditions. ADB, as needed, will help mobilize additional debt from diverse institutions, such as private and public financial institutions and development partners.

OCR offers lending products broadly in three modalities:

• Project – Also known as investment lending, it finances expenditures incurred for discrete investment projects and focuses on project implementation. Disbursements in this modality are linked to expenditures for inputs. Nonsovereign loans fall under this modality.

• Policy-based – This modality provides sovereign budget support for structural reforms and development expenditure programs in DMCs. In certain circumstances, it may also be used to provide balance of payments or counter-cyclical fiscal support. It is linked to the implementation of policy reforms, disbursed quickly, and targeted to sector-wide and economy-wide impact.

16

• Results-based – It supports government-owned sector programs and disburses ADB funds based on the achievement of program results.

As of 31 December 2022, OCR’s loans outstanding was $144,325 million ($137,163 million – 2021), of which $106,827 million were sovereign regular OCR loans ($98,352 million – 2021), $31,453 million were sovereign concessional OCR loans ($32,180 million – 2021) and $6,045 million were nonsovereign loans ($6,631 million – 2021). Table 4 shows OCR’s loans outstanding by modality.

OCR = ordinary capital resources.

Notes: Number may not sum precisely because of rounding. OCR loans include sovereign and nonsovereign loans outstanding and exclude $735 million ($697 million – 2021) allowance for credit losses, and $23 million ($8 million – 2021) accounting adjustments for fair value adjustment on concessional loans, unamortized loan origination cost, and unamortized front-end fee.

Expected credit loss. ADB measures expected credit losses for loans, guarantees, and held-tomaturity debt securities. Expected credit losses are calculated using three components: exposure at default, probability of default, and loss given default. Credit losses are measured over the contractual term (lifetime) of the asset or commitment based on all available information: historical experience, current conditions, and macroeconomic forecasts. ADB is also exposed to credit risks on off-balance sheet exposures and records a liability for credit losses on undisbursed loan and held-to-maturity other debt securities commitments, and guarantees.

As of 31 December 2022, total allowance for credit losses and liability for credit losses on off-balance sheet exposures decreased to $844 million ($863 million – 2021), driven by the decrease in nonsovereign expected credit losses due to the exposure decline, offset by the additional expected credit losses for sovereign portfolio mainly because of rating downgrades for certain sovereign borrowers. Allowance for credit losses and liability for credit losses on offbalance sheet exposures are summarized in Table 5. Refer to Credit risk under Risk Management section for more information.

a Include allow ance for heavily indebted poor countries debt relief ($43 million – 31 December 2022, $43 million – 31 December 2021).

b Excludes recoveries from risk transfer arrangements.

Status of loans. ADB places loans in non-accrual status when the principal, interest or other charges are overdue by more than 180 days or in case of loans that are not yet overdue by more than 180 days, when there is expectation that loan service payment will not be collected when they become due at the point when such information is known. Once a loan to a borrower is placed in non-accrual status, all other overdue loans to the same borrower will be placed in nonaccrual status. On the date a borrower’s loan is placed into non-accrual status, unpaid interest and other charges accrued are deducted from the revenue of the current period. As of 31 December 2022, there was one sovereign concessional loan borrower with 11 loans in nonaccrual status with outstanding amount of $525 million (nil – 31 December 2021) and there were seven nonsovereign borrowers with seven loans in non-accrual status with outstanding amount of $180 million (five nonsovereign borrowers with five loans with outstanding amount of $194 million – 31 December 2021).

Summary of loan activities. Table 6 shows the summary of loan commitments and Table 7 shows the disbursements and repayments for sovereign regular OCR, sovereign concessional OCR and nonsovereign loans. For the year ended 31 December 2022, the total OCR loan commitments was $16,296 million, lower by $2,400 million or 13% compared to 2021. The high commitments to support coronavirus disease (COVID-19) response in 2021 declined in 2022 as the pandemic situation stabilized across the region. Furthermore, the commitments for standard programs and projects did not recover as quickly in 2022 due to lack of project readiness caused by project processing delays during the pandemic and due to changing priorities of the DMCs. The total loan disbursements in 2022 increased to $18,575 million from $17,644 million in 2021 due to higher policy-based regular OCR loan disbursements, partially offset by the lower project concessional OCR loan disbursements.

Note: Numbers may not sum precisely because of rounding.

a Includes fixed rate loans for sovereign regular OCR amounting to $9,396 million and $163 million for nonsovereign. b LBLs and PSCLs are legacy loan products and are no longer offered. Sovereign regular OCR LBLs include fixed rate loans amounting to $8,585 million in 2021. Nonsovereign LBLs include fixed rate loans amounting to $445 million in 2022 ($658 million – 2021).

c Includes fair value adjustment on concessional loans, unamortized loan origination cost, and unamortized front-end fee.

Sovereign regular OCR loans. Starting 1 January 2022, the FLP is the primary loan product for sovereign regular OCR replacing the LIBOR-based loan (LBL). The cost-base rate[6] changed from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) for US dollar-denominated loans and to the Tokyo Overnight Average Rate (TONA) for yen-denominated loans. FLP loans has a lending rate consisting of the cost-base rate, lending spread, rebates or surcharges, and maturity premiums, if applicable (Table 9). If the lending rate calculated for any 6-month interest period is negative, the interest rate floor of zero will apply. All sovereign regular OCR LBLs completed the transition to FLP loans in 2022.

The FLP is designed to meet demand by borrowers for loan products that suit project needs and effectively manage their external debt. ADB provides sovereign regular OCR borrowers of FLP loans with options to manage their interest rate and exchange rate risks, while providing low intermediation risk to ADB. Borrowers may request a conversion of all or any portion of the principal amount of the loan through: (i) a currency conversion to an approved currency; (ii) an interest rate conversion from floating to fixed or vice-versa; and (iii) an establishment of an interest rate cap or an interest rate collar on a floating rate. For the year ended 31 December 2022, ADB executed five interest rate and currency conversions totaling $2 billion (six interest rate and currency conversions totaling $1,023 million and five interest rate conversions totaling $655 million – 2021).

Local currency loans (LCLs) are offered to sovereign borrowers in different local currencies which ADB can intermediate. ADB responds to the evolving financial needs of borrowers to reduce their currency mismatch in DMCs.

LCLs may be made on a fixed or floating rate basis with an effective contractual spread. Floating rate LCLs typically reset every three or six months. The cost-base rate of an LCL is determined by its financing mode. Table 9 shows the summary of charges on sovereign regular OCR FLP loans and LCLs as of 31 December 2022.

6 The Euro Interbank Offered Rate (EURIBOR) and New Zealand Dollar (NZD) bank bill rate will continue to be used for Euro and NZD loans, respectively.

• a SPBL carries a contractual spread of 200 basis points. In May 2022, the Board of Directors approved the spread of CSF at 75 basis points.

• b 20-40 contractual spread were applied for loans negotiated on or after 1 October 2007 to 31 December 2013.

• c For loans which formal negotiations were completed on or after 1 April 2012, a maturity premium is added to the contractual spread and applied for the entire life of the loan. A limit of 19 years applies to the average loan maturity of FLP loans and LCLs. For all loans to regular OCR-only borrowing countries, approved on or after 1 January 2021, a new pricing structure was implemented to adjust the pricing framework and introduce diversity in the current flat pricing structure for countries in different stages of development. The new maturity premium is applied for the life of a loan regardless of country group changes during the tenor of the loan.

• d To maintain the principle of the cost pass-through pricing policy, ADB passes on its actual funding cost margin to its borrowers through a surcharge or rebate and these are incorporated into the interest rate for the succeeding interest period. Rebates or surcharges for all FLPs are determined in January and July every year on the basis of the average funding cost margin below or above the relevant benchmark for the preceding 6 months. The information presented is applicable for 1 July to 31 December 2022.

e The commitment charge is levied on undisbursed balances beginning 60 days after signing of the applicable loan agreement. For loans under contingent disaster financing, the borrower will pay, in lieu of commitment charges, a front-end fee of 25 or 10 basis points of the committed loan amount depending on the contingent disaster financing option.

Sovereign concessional OCR loans. ADB offers sovereign concessional OCR loans to eligible DMCs. Concessional loans represent the concessional financing to DMCs with (i) per capita gross national income below the International Development Association (IDA) operational cut-off; (ii) least developed countries with per capita gross national income above the IDA operational cutoff; and (iii) per capita gross national income above the IDA operational cut-off with limited or lack of credit worthiness. Table 10 shows the summary of lending terms on currently available sovereign concessional OCR loans.

a Countries that are eligible for sovereign concessional OCR loans and/or Asian Development Fund grants.

b Countries that are eligible for both sovereign regular and concessional OCR loans.

c Principal repayment will be calculated based on the approved loan amount multiplied by the annual rate of 2.0% for the first 10 years after the grace period and 4.0% thereafter.

The borrowers of sovereign concessional OCR loans may choose a currency of liability in special drawing rights (SDR) or a currency that is available under ADB’s FLP and in the SDR basket, subject to ADB's confirmation of the availability of such currency. As of 31 December 2022, over 96% (96% – 2021) of the sovereign concessional OCR loans were in SDR (67%) and US dollars (29%).

Nonsovereign loans. Starting 1 January 2022, the FLP is the primary loan product for nonsovereign operations replacing the LBL. The cost-base rate changed from LIBOR to the SOFR for US dollar-denominated loans and to the TONA for yen-denominated loans. Nonsovereign LBLs are expected to complete the transition to FLP loans in 2023.

ADB applies market-based pricing to determine the lending spread, front-end fees, and commitment charges, and other fees for each loan. The lending spread is intended to cover ADB’s risk exposure to specific borrowers and projects and the front-end fee to cover the administrative costs incurred in loan origination. Front-end fees are typically 1% to 1.25% depending on the transaction. ADB applies a commitment fee (typically 0.50% to 1.0% per year) on the undisbursed loan balance.

LCLs are also offered to nonsovereign borrowers in different local currencies which ADB can intermediate. ADB responds to the evolving financial needs of borrowers to reduce their currency mismatch in DMCs. LCLs are priced based on relevant local currency funding benchmarks or ADB’s funding costs and a credit spread.

Sovereign and nonsovereign loan cofinancing. In 2022, a total of $3,973 million sovereign loan cofinancing was committed for 24 projects, of which $408 million is under full and partial ADB administration while $3,565 million are not administered; and a total of $1,152 million nonsovereign cofinancing was committed for 18 projects. (Refer to Note F of OCR Financial Statements for loans administered by ADB as of 31 December 2022).

2. Equity Investments

ADB provides financial assistance through equity investments to help capital-constrained, but economically important, investee companies. ADB's equity investments may be in the form of direct investments or through private equity funds.

The Charter allows the use of OCR for equity investments up to 10% of ADB’s unimpaired paidin capital actually paid up at any given time together with reserves and surplus, excluding special reserves. At the end of 2022, the total equity investment portfolio for OCR, including prudential buffers, was $1,773 million ($1,732 million – 2021), or about 33% (32% – 2021) of the ceiling defined by the Charter.[7]

In 2022, ADB committed six equity investments totaling $147 million (nine equity investments totaling $265 million – 2021), disbursed $197 million ($141 million – 2021), and received $114 million from capital distributions and full or partial divestments in 25 projects ($244 million from 25 projects – 2021). The divestments were carried out in a manner consistent with good business practices, after ADB’s development role in its investments had been fulfilled and without destabilizing the companies. Table 11 shows ADB's equity investments as of 31 December 2022 and 2021.

Table 11: Outstanding Equity Investments as of 31 December 2022 and 2021 ($ million)

Item	2022	2021
Direct investments	759	723
Private equity funds	679	599
Total equity investments	1,438	1,322

3. Guarantees

Guarantees are typically designed to facilitate cofinancing by mitigating the risk exposure of commercial lenders and capital market investors. Guarantees can be provided when ADB has a direct or indirect participation in a project or a related sector, through a loan, equity investment or technical assistance. ADB provides two primary guarantee products–a partial credit guarantee and a partial risk guarantee. ADB’s credit guarantee is designed as credit enhancements for eligible projects to cover risks that the project and its commercial cofinancing partners cannot easily absorb or manage on their own. ADB also provides partial risk guarantees to cover specifically defined political risks such as expropriation, currency inconvertibility or non-transfer. Reducing these risks can make a significant difference in mobilizing private sector financing for projects.

Private Sector Programs. ADB’s private sector programs include the Trade and Supply Chain Finance (TSCFP) and Microfinance programs (MFP).

• Trade and Supply Chain Finance Program. The Trade Finance Program and the Supply Chain Finance Program were merged to create operational efficiency and more wholistic solutions to clients.

The TSCFP has two main streams of activity: (i) It provides guarantees and loans through partner banks to close market gaps for trade finance, including among small and medium-

7 Represents 80% and 100% of the signed and undisbursed amounts for private equity funds and direct equity investments, respectively.

24

sized businesses, to generate the trade-led growth and jobs that underpin development; and (ii) It delivers knowledge products, services, and solutions to make global trade and supply chains green, resilient, inclusive, transparent and socially responsible.

For the year ended 31 December 2022, TSCFP provided total loans and guarantees financed by ADB amounting to $2,566 million ($2,834 million – 2021) in trade through 70 bank partners under Trade Finance and 8 corporate obligors under Supply Chain Finance in 16 countries.

TSCFP transactions have average maturity of less than 180 days and this short average tenor enables an efficient use of its $2,450 million limit. As of 31 December 2022, TSCFP guarantees outstanding amounted to $1,790 million ($2,002 million – 2021) and loans outstanding amounted to $181 million ($158 million – 2021). Of the outstanding TSCFP loans and guarantees, $919 million were risk transferred to private insurance companies ($851 million – 2021), resulting to a net exposure of $1,052 million ($1,310 million – 2021).

• Microfinance Program. The MFP provides risk participation on revolving basis for loans made by commercial financial institutions to microfinance institutions in ADB's DMCs. As of 31 December 2022, MFP revolving cover is up to $600 million. The program provided guarantees financed by ADB amounting to $170 million in 2022 ($238 million – 2021) and the outstanding guarantee amount as of 31 December 2022 was $162 million ($125 million – 2021).

Table 12 shows the commitments under the private sector programs.

a Includes $2,299 million guarantees ($2,618 million – 2021) and $267 million loans ($216 million – 2021) under TSCFP, and $170 million ($238 million – 2021) guarantees under MFP.

Private sector program cofinancing. For the year ended 31 December 2022, total commitments under private sector program cofinancing amounted to $5,340 million ($5,790 million – 2021).

Exposure Exchange Agreement. The exposure exchange agreement (EEA) provides for the simultaneous exchange of credit risk coverage for potential non-accrual events on the exchanged sovereign exposures. In case of non-accrual events, the party providing protection would pay the other counterparty principal or interest for any period the covered exposure is in nonaccrual. The EEA transaction is treated as an exchange of two separate financial guarantees (guarantee provided and guarantee received). Under the EEA, (i) ADB provides a guarantee for the sovereign exposures received from the counterpart multilateral development bank (MDB) (ADB as a seller of protection), and (ii) ADB will receive a guarantee for the sovereign exposures transferred to the counterpart MDB (ADB as a buyer of protection). In 2022, ADB signed $1.5 billion sovereign exposure exchange with another MDB. As of 31 December 2022, the total outstanding amount of guarantee provided under the EEA was $2.5 billion ($1 billion – 2021).

25

Refer to Note G of OCR Financial Statements for ADB’s outstanding and maximum potential exposure on guarantees as of 31 December 2022 and 2021.

4. Other Debt Securities

ADB’s financial assistance to DMCs may be made by way of subscription to an entity’s debt instruments such as bonds and debentures issued for the purpose of financing development projects. For the year ended 31 December 2022, other debt securities commitment amounted to $71 million ($147 million – 2021) and disbursements amounted to $62 million ($43 million – 2021). As of 31 December 2022, other debt securities amounted to $622 million ($823 million – 2021).

5. Syndications

Syndications refer to the pooling of financing and sharing of risk among financiers. It enables ADB to mobilize cofinancing by transferring some or all the risks associated with its loans and guarantees to other financing partners.[8] Thus, syndications decrease and diversify the risk profile of ADB’s financing portfolio. Syndications may be on a funded or unfunded basis, and they may be arranged on an individual, portfolio, or any other basis consistent with industry practices. Under the complementary financing, in 2022, two projects totaling $95 million were signed (eight projects totaling $383 million – 2021).[9]

6. Transaction Advisory Services

ADB provides transaction advisory services (TAS) to assist public and private sector clients structure and procure viable projects. TAS aims to promote public–private partnership (PPP) projects to catalyze public and private capital investment for development purposes. ADB also manages the Asia Pacific Project Preparation Facility (AP3F)—a multi-donor trust fund—to help prepare and monitor PPP projects, build government capacity, and create an enabling environment for PPPs.

In 2022, ADB achieved commercial closure of five PPP transaction advisory services, garnering $394 million in capital commitments from the private sector. As of 31 December 2022, ADB is implementing 30 transaction advisory mandates and project preparation projects with a total estimated capital investment of over $4 billion.

7. Debt Management Products

ADB offers debt management products to members and entities fully guaranteed by members in relation to their third-party liabilities. Debt management products offered by ADB include interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps and local currency swaps (transforming a foreign currency liability into a local currency liability only).

D. Funding Resources

ADB’s ordinary operations are funded from ADB’s OCR, which consist primarily of its subscribed capital stock, proceeds from its borrowings, and funds derived from its ordinary operations.

8 Depending on whether ADB retains risk or not, ADB may or may not have a contingent liability.

9 A B-loan is a tranche of a direct loan nominally advanced by ADB, subject to eligible financial institutions taking funded risk participation within such a tranche and without recourse to ADB. It complements an A-loan financed by ADB.

1. Equity

ADB had 68 members as of 31 December 2022, with Japan and the United States as the two largest shareholders. Out of the 68 members, 27 members are non-borrowing members holding 66.8% of total shareholdings with a total voting power of 61.4%. The capital subscription of all ADB members is shown in OCR-8 of the Financial Statements.

As of 31 December 2022, ADB’s total authorized capital of 10,639,083 shares valued at $141,589 million was fully subscribed, which consisted of $7,095 million paid-in and $134,494 million callable capital. The details of ADB’s equity as of 31 December 2022 and 2021 are shown in Table 13.

• c Includes ordinary reserve, special reserve, surplus and net income after appropriation less net notional amounts required to maintain value of currency holdings, cumulative revaluation adjustments and accumulated other comprehensive loss. (See OCR-1 of the Financial Statements).

Callable capital. Callable capital can be called only if required to meet ADB’s obligations incurred on borrowings or guarantees under OCR. No call has ever been made on ADB’s callable capital.

Paid-in capital. ADB’s paid-in capital may be freely used in its ordinary operations, except that DMCs have the right under the Charter to restrict the use of a portion of their paid-in capital to make payments for goods and services produced and intended for use in their respective territories. (See Note C of the OCR Financial Statements).

Total equity. Total equity increased to $54,214 million as of 31 December 2022 from $52,855 million as of 31 December 2021. This mainly resulted from: (i) $2,169 million net income in 2022 and (ii) $1,265 million adjustment in postretirement benefit obligations; offset by (iii) $916 million net unrealized holding losses; (iv) $798 million currency translation losses; and (v) $382 million allocation of 2021 net income to Special Funds.

Allocation of OCR net income. In accordance with Article 40 of the Charter, the Board of Governors annually approves the allocation of the previous year’s net income to reserves and/or surplus. In addition, to the extent feasible, it approves the transfer of part of net income to Special Funds to support development activities in the DMCs. In May 2022 and 2021, the Board of Governors approved the allocation of OCR’s net income for 2021 and 2020, respectively, as shown in Table 14.

2. Borrowings

General Borrowing Policies. Under the Charter, ADB may borrow only with the approval of the country in whose market ADB’s obligations are to be sold and the member in whose currency such obligations are to be denominated. ADB must also obtain the approvals of the relevant countries so that the proceeds of its borrowings may be exchanged for the currency of any member without restriction. The Charter also requires ADB, before determining to sell its obligations in a particular country, to consider the amount of previous borrowings in that country, the amount of previous borrowings in other countries, and the availability of funds in such other countries, giving due regard to the general principle that its borrowings should to the greatest extent possible be diversified as to country of borrowing.

Funding Operations. ADB raises funds for its ordinary operations through the issue and sale of debt obligations in the international capital markets. ADB’s primary borrowing objective is to ensure the availability of funds for its operations at the most stable and lowest possible cost. Subject to this objective, ADB seeks to diversify its funding sources across markets, instruments, and maturities. In 2022, ADB continued to diversify its funding platform by issuing across a broad range of currencies, in both public issue and private placement format, introducing new currencies and engaging new investors. ADB continues to offer thematic bonds (Table 15).

2022 funding operations. In 2022, ADB raised the equivalent of $36,109 million from 134 borrowing transactions ($35,761 million from 160 borrowing transactions – 2021). The new

28

borrowings were raised in 22 currencies (21 currencies – 2021).[10] The average maturity to first call date of these borrowings was 4.8 years (5.2 years – 2021) at the time of issue. Of the 2022 borrowings, $30,976 million was raised through 37 public offerings and the remaining $5,133 million was raised through 97 private placements. OCR borrowings after swaps as of 31 December 2022 amounted to $146,053 million ($135,231 million – 2021).

ADB also raised $14,146 million ($17,736 million – 2021) under its Euro-Commercial Paper Program (ECP). Of the ECPs issued in 2022, $2,615 million were outstanding as of 31 December 2022 ($1,275 million – 2021). Table 16 shows details of 2022 borrowings as compared to 2021.

As part of short-term liquidity management, ADB executed 149 repurchase transactions totaling $22.2 billion in principal amount. Of the transactions executed in 2022, $982 million were outstanding as of 31 December 2022.

Use of derivatives. ADB undertakes currency and interest rate swaps to cost-efficiently, and on a fully-hedged basis, raise the currencies needed for its operations, while maintaining its borrowing presence in major capital markets. Figures 4 and 5 show the effects of swaps on the currency composition and interest rate structure of ADB’s outstanding borrowings as of 31 December 2022. Interest rate swaps are also used for asset and liability management purposes to match the liabilities with the interest rate characteristics of assets such as loans and liquidity investments.

E. Liquidity Management

1. Liquidity Portfolio

The liquidity portfolio helps ensure the uninterrupted availability of funds to meet loan disbursements, debt servicing, and other cash requirements; provides a liquidity buffer in the event of financial stress; and contributes to ADB’s earning base. ADB’s Investment Authority governs ADB’s investments in liquid assets. The primary objective is to maintain the security and liquidity of the funds invested. Subject to these two parameters, ADB seeks to maximize the total return on its investments. At the end of 2022, ADB held liquid investments in 19 currencies.

Liquid investments are held in government or government-related debt instruments, time deposits, and other unconditional obligations of banks and financial institutions. To a limited extent, they are also held in corporate bonds that are rated at least A–. These investments are held in five portfolios—equity-funded liquidity, debt-funded liquidity, cash cushion, operational cash, and ad hoc—all of which have different risk profiles and performance benchmarks.

The year-end balance of the portfolios in 2022 and 2021 is presented in Table 17. The amortized cost and fair value returns of the portfolios are presented in Table 18.

The equity-funded liquidity portfolio (ELP) is invested to ensure that the primary objective of a liquidity buffer is met. Cash inflows and outflows are minimized to maximize the total return relative to a defined level of risk. The portfolio has been funded mostly by equity, and the average duration of the major currencies in the portfolio was about 2.9 years (3.0 years – 2021) as of 31 December 2022.

31

The debt-funded liquidity portfolio is used to support medium-term funding needs and is funded by debt to provide flexibility in executing the funding program over the medium-term to permit opportunistic borrowing ahead of cash flow needs, and to bolster ADB access to short-term funding through continuous presence in the market.

The cash cushion portfolio holds the proceeds of ADB’s borrowing transactions pending disbursement. It is invested in short-term instruments and aims to maximize the spread earned between the borrowing cost and the investment income.

The operational cash portfolio, designed to meet net cash requirements over a 1-month horizon, is funded by debt and invested in short-term highly liquid money market instruments.

The ad hoc portfolio is established for transparent tracking and monitoring of liquidity proceeds to hold special-purpose liquidity.

2. Prudential Minimum Liquidity

Holding appropriate levels of liquidity ensures uninterrupted lending support to DMCs. ADB’s prudential minimum liquidity (PML) is set at 12-month liquidity coverage and it is 100% of ADB’s one-year net cash requirement (NCR) where NCR is equal to cash outflows less cash inflows. Cash outflows include disbursements for operations, redemptions on ADB’s debt instruments and OCR net income transfers. Cash inflows mainly represent income from operations, repayments and prepayments from borrowers and capital subscription payments. Maintaining the PML is designed to enable ADB to cover NCR for 12 months without borrowing from the capital markets. The liquidity levels and cash requirements are monitored periodically in accordance with ADB’s liquidity policy. As of 31 December 2022, ADB’s aggregate liquidity holding remained above the 2022 PML requirement.

3. Contractual Cash Obligations

In the normal course of business, ADB enters into contractual obligations that may require shortterm and long-term future cash payments. Table 19 summarizes ADB’s significant contractual cash obligations as of 31 December 2022. Long-term debt includes medium- and long-term borrowings. Other long-term liabilities correspond to future lease payments and accrued liabilities.

Total	38,593 143,124 181,717
aIncludes undisbursed commitments for loans, equity investments and other debt securities.

As a triple-A rated borrower, ADB raises funds regularly through bond issuances in the international capital markets in a cost-effective manner, which demonstrates ADB’s ability to meet the required cash requirements in the long term. Furthermore, ADB’s capital structure provides an additional level of security as callable capital is available to meet debt obligations in the unlikely event of large-scale default by ADB’s borrowers. ADB has never made a call on callable capital.

32

F. Risk Management

ADB faces various kinds of risks in carrying out its mandate, including financial, operational, and other organizational risks. ADB has a risk management framework that is built on the three core components of governance, policies, and processes.

Governance starts with the Board of Directors, which plays a key role in reviewing and approving risk policies that define ADB's risk appetite. ADB maintains an independent risk management office and has various management committees with responsibilities to oversee bank-wide risk issues. ADB’s Risk Committee monitors and discusses risks, recommends proposed risk policies and actions to the President, and provides senior management oversight on risk policy matters to ensure that ADB maintains its superior credit standing. The office of risk management reports quarterly to the Audit and Risk Committee of the Board on the development of the risks in ADB’s operations.

ADB monitors the credit profile of existing transactions in the operations portfolio, conducts risk assessments of new nonsovereign transactions, and assumes responsibility for resolving distressed transactions when necessary. It also monitors market and credit risks in treasury operations, such as the credit quality of counterparties, interest rate risk, and foreign exchange risk. In addition, ADB has developed an operational risk management framework for the institution. For the aggregate portfolio, ADB monitors limits and concentrations; computes expected credit losses; and assesses its capital adequacy.

Risks to which ADB is exposed in carrying out its mission include credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk, and operational risk. This section discusses (i) risk management of each key risk, (ii) ADB’s capital adequacy—ADB’s ultimate protection against unexpected losses, and (iii) asset and liability management.

1. Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss that could result if a borrower or counterparty defaults or if its creditworthiness deteriorates. Related to credit risk, ADB also faces concentration risk, which arises when a high proportion of the portfolio is allocated to a specific country, industry sector, obligor, type of instrument, or individual borrower.

ADB assigns a risk rating to each loan, guarantee, debt security, and treasury counterparty (Table 20). For nonsovereign transactions, the rating typically is not better than that of the sovereign.

33

ADB is exposed to credit risk in its sovereign, nonsovereign, and treasury operations. The sovereign portfolio includes sovereign loans and guarantees as well as one equity investment, while the nonsovereign portfolio includes nonsovereign loans and guarantees, equity investments (direct and private equity funds), and other debt securities. The treasury portfolio includes fixedincome securities, cash and cash equivalents, and derivatives. Table 21 details the total risk exposure and weighted average risk rating for each asset class.[11]

11 The average risk ratings are based on the average probability of default weighted by the outstanding credit exposure which is related back to the internal rating scale based on the probability of default for each internal risk rating category. The probabilities of default are updated regularly. The computation of the average risk rating for the period uses the most recent set of probabilities of default available at the end of the corresponding period.

Credit risk in the sovereign portfolio. Sovereign credit risk is the risk that a sovereign borrower or guarantor will default on its loan or guarantee obligations. ADB manages its sovereign credit risk through provision for credit losses as well as by maintaining conservative equity levels. ADB’s sovereign regular OCR loan operations have experienced no loss of principal. Countries that previously had delayed payments eventually repaid and returned their loans to accrual status.

Sovereign loan and guarantee exposure. The average credit rating of the sovereign loan and guarantee portfolio changed to 10.0 (B) in 2022 from 7.6 (BB–) in 2021 (Figure 6). The change had two drivers. The major driver was an update of sovereign probabilities of default which led to changes in the default probability attached to individual rating categories but had marginal effect on the average default probability of the portfolio. The second driver was credit deterioration among some sovereign borrowers, stemming from the global environment such as elevated food and fuel prices, tighter financial conditions, and from internal factors to DMCs such as tighter liquidity and political or policy uncertainty.

Notes: Low credit risk = exposures with risk rating 1–5, medium credit risk = exposures with risk rating 6–8, significant credit risk = exposures with risk rating 9–11, high credit risk = exposures with risk rating 12–14.

Sovereign concentrations. ADB has assumed some concentration risk to fulfill its development mandate. The three largest borrowers—India, the People’s Republic of China, and Pakistan— represented 40% of the portfolio in 2022 (Figure 7).

Note: The sum of disbursed and outstanding loan balances, present value of guaranteed obligations and fair values of equities.

To reduce concentration risk and maintain a well-capitalized balance sheet, ADB approved in 2020 a policy framework for exchanges of sovereign exposures among multilateral development banks (MDBs). The EEA provides for the simultaneous exchange of credit risk coverage for potential non-accrual events on the exchanged sovereign exposures. In case of non-accrual

36

events, the party providing protection would pay the other counterparty principal or interest for any period the covered exposure is in nonaccrual. In December 2022, ADB entered into an additional exposure exchange transaction with a peer MDB, with a value of $1.5 billion. The EEA is treated as exchanges of separate financial guarantees (guarantees provided and guarantees received).

Credit and equity risks in the nonsovereign portfolio. Nonsovereign credit risk is the risk that a borrower will default on a loan, debt security or guarantee obligation for which ADB does not have recourse to a sovereign entity. Equity risk is the risk of losses arising from movements in equity prices. While the aggregate nonsovereign exposure is smaller in size than the sovereign exposure, the credit risk in individual transactions is more significant. In addition, ADB’s exposure is concentrated in the utilities and finance sectors. ADB employs various policy-based measures to manage these risks.

The Investment Committee and the Risk Committee oversee risks in the nonsovereign portfolio. The Investment Committee reviews all new nonsovereign transactions for creditworthiness and pricing. The Risk Committee oversees all risks in ADB’s balance sheet and operations, and reviews and endorses proposed changes to risk policies. It also monitors aggregate nonsovereign portfolio risks and individual transactions with deteriorating creditworthiness.

ADB manages nonsovereign credit risk by assessing all new transactions at the concept clearance stage and before final approval. Following approval, all exposures are reviewed at least annually; more frequent reviews are performed for those that are more vulnerable to default or have defaulted. In each review, ADB assesses whether the risk profile has changed; takes necessary actions to mitigate risks and either confirms or adjusts the risk rating. For equity risk, ADB updates the valuation for equity investments including assessing whether impairments are considered permanent. ADB also enters into risk transfer agreements to reduce its exposure to selected nonsovereign transactions and to enhance the granularity of its portfolio.

ADB manages expected credit losses from nonsovereign credit portfolio as well as known or highly probable losses in individual loans, debt securities or guarantees through allowance for credit losses and liability for credit losses on off-balance sheet exposures.

ADB uses limits for countries, industry sectors, corporate groups, obligors, products, and individual transactions to manage concentration risk in the nonsovereign portfolio.

Nonsovereign loan, guarantee, and debt security exposure . ADB assigns a risk rating to each nonsovereign loan, guarantee, and debt security. The average credit rating of the nonsovereign portfolio slightly weakened to 9.9 (B) in 2022 from 9.7 (B) in 2021 due to both update of probabilities of default and risk rating downgrades (Figure 8).

Credit exposure is considered impaired when it is unlikely that ADB will be able to collect all amounts due in accordance with contractual terms. Impaired credit exposure includes all rated transactions, namely (i) loans, (ii) guarantees, and (iii) debt securities that are held to maturity and reported at amortized cost, which are extended to borrowers rated 13 and 14 on ADB’s 14-point rating scale. Impaired exposure decreased to 4.6% of total nonsovereign credit exposure in 2022 compared to previous year due to repayments of impaired transactions.

Nonsovereign equity exposure. The nonsovereign equity investment portfolio has two components: (i) direct equity investments, where ADB owns shares in investee companies; and (ii) private equity funds, where ADB has partial ownership of a private equity fund, managed by a fund manager, which acquires equity stakes in investee companies. ADB’s nonsovereign equity investment portfolio increased by $119 million in 2022 from 2021 due to disbursements to newly signed equity deals during the year. Refer to Note H of OCR Financial Statements for additional information.

Nonsovereign concentrations. The three largest nonsovereign country exposures as of 31 December 2022 were India (15%), the People’s Republic of China (12%), and Thailand (11%). The exposure of the top three countries remained at 39% in 2022 and 2021 (Figure 9). There is a passive breach of the country and financial sector limits applicable to Sri Lanka due to a prior sovereign downgrade. ADB’s nonsovereign exposure to Sri Lanka is not significant, amounting to $24 million as of 31 December 2022. All other country exposures are within applicable ADB exposure limits.

ADB employs the Global Industry Classification Standard for its nonsovereign exposures. Under this standard, utilities represent the largest nonsovereign sector exposures (Figure 10). ADB maintains higher exposures to this sector because of its importance to economic development. In addition, the high level of exposure to the utilities sector is deemed acceptable from a risk perspective because of the lack of correlation between the utilities sector in one country and another. The utilities sector is also fragmented into seven major sub-industries. To mitigate sector concentration risk, ADB conducts additional monitoring and reporting on this sector and employs specialists in these areas.

Expected credit loss. ADB’s expected credit losses are measured over the remaining lifetime of loans and certain debt securities. Expected losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures are also

39

measured for undisbursed loan and held-to-maturity debt securities commitments, and guarantees.

The expected credit losses as of 31 December 2022 for sovereign and nonsovereign operations (loans, guarantees, and held-to-maturity debt securities) was $357 million and $487 million, respectively ($263 million and $600 million – 2021). The net change from 2021 was mainly because of update in probabilities of default, a lower nonsovereign exposure, more volatile macroeconomic environment and the credit rating of some of ADB’s borrowers in 2022. Expected loss as a percentage of the total loan and guarantee portfolio in 2022 is at 0.3% for sovereign (0.2% – 2021) and 5.5% for nonsovereign (6.5% – 2021).

Credit risk in ADB’s treasury operations. Issuer default and counterparty default are credit risks that affect ADB’s liquidity portfolio. Issuer default is the risk that a bond issuer will default on its interest and/or principal payments, while counterparty default is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its contractual obligations to ADB.

To mitigate issuer and counterparty credit risks, ADB generally transacts only with institutions rated by reputable international rating agencies and satisfy a minimum rating criteria. The liquidity portfolio is also invested in highly rated assets, with substantial allocation to money market instruments and government and government-related securities. In addition, ADB has established exposure limits for its bond investments, depository relationships, and other investments.

ADB has established counterparty eligibility criteria to mitigate counterparty credit risk arising through derivative transactions. In general, ADB will only undertake swap transactions with counterparties that meet the required minimum counterparty credit rating, have executed an International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) Master Agreement, and have signed a Credit Support Annex (CSA). Under the CSA, derivative positions are marked to market daily, and the resulting exposures are generally collateralized by cash or eligible government securities. ADB sets exposure limits for individual swap counterparties and monitors these limits against current and potential future exposures. ADB enforces daily collateral calls as needed to ensure that counterparties meet their collateral obligations.

As of 31 December 2022, ADB’s treasury portfolio comprises fixed income securities, high credit quality cash deposits and derivative instruments with a weighted average credit rating of AA, and with 97% of the portfolio rated A– or better. Figure 11 provides the breakdown of treasury portfolio by type and counterparty credit risk rating.

As of 31 December 2022 and 2021, no fixed-income instruments, derivatives, or other treasury exposures were past due or impaired.

Fixed income. Sovereign and sovereign-guaranteed securities, and those issued by government-related enterprises (including supranationals and excluding mortgage-backed securities) represent 83% of ADB’s fixed income assets. The remainder is in corporate bonds that are subject to a minimum rating requirement of A–, asset-backed securities (ABS) that are subject to a minimum rating requirement of AAA, and US agency mortgage-backed securities (Agency MBS) that are subject to a minimum rating requirement of AA+ (Figure 12). ADB will continue to monitor market developments closely and adjust its risk exposure accordingly.

Cash deposits. Credit risk from investment deposits is considered low. ADB invests with depository institutions that satisfy a minimum long-term average credit rating requirement. ADB

41

maintains a watch list of institutions that it perceives as potentially riskier than its credit rating represents based on an internal credit risk assessment including probability of default metrics. The size of the investment deposit is limited by the counterparty’s tier one common equity and external credit rating.

Derivatives . All eligible swap counterparties satisfy a minimum credit rating requirement. Current exposure to counterparties rated below AA– is generally fully collateralized, while the uncollateralized exposure to those rated AA– and above are subject to specified thresholds. At the end of 2022, swap counterparty marked-to-market exposures were generally fully collateralized. Uncollateralized exposures to several banks were in line with established thresholds and minimum transfer amounts; banks that had collateral shortfalls were issued margin calls.

Country exposure. At the end of 2022, treasury credit risk exposure was allocated across 32 countries with the largest five exposures presented in Figure 13.

2. Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss on financial instruments because of changes in market prices. ADB principally faces two forms of market risk: (i) interest rate risk; and (ii) foreign exchange risk.

Interest rate. Interest rate risk in the operations portfolio is hedged on the basis that borrowers’ interest and principal payments are matched to ADB’s borrowing expenses. Therefore, the borrower must assume or hedge the risk of fluctuating interest rates, whereas ADB’s margins remain largely constant.

ADB is primarily exposed to interest rate risk through the liquidity portfolio. ADB monitors and manages interest rate risks in the liquidity portfolio by employing various quantitative methods.

ADB uses duration, interest rate value-at-risk (VaR) and expected shortfall (ES) to measure interest rate risk in the liquidity portfolio. Duration measures the sensitivity of the portfolio’s value to a parallel change in interest rates. Interest rate VaR provides an estimate of the portfolio’s potential loss at a certain confidence level within a defined timeframe. Expected shortfall is a measure of the magnitude and changes to the treasury portfolio’s tail risk over time and

42

supplements the interest rate VaR. ADB reports VaR and ES with a 95% confidence level at a 1-year time horizon. Duration, VaR, and ES are ADB’s primary monitoring tools for interest rate risk across the liquidity portfolio.

Foreign exchange . ADB minimizes exposure to exchange rate risk in its operations by matching where possible the currencies of its assets with the currencies of its liabilities. Borrowed funds or funds to be invested may only be converted into other currencies provided that they are fully hedged through cross currency swaps or forward exchange rate agreements. However, because of its multicurrency operations, ADB is exposed to fluctuations in reported US dollar because of currency translation adjustments.

Value-at-risk and expected shortfall. The interest rate 1-year VaR of the total OCR, increased from 0.66% of ADB’s equity on 31 December 2021 to 1.56% on 31 December 2022. This means a 5.0% probability exists that the portfolio will lose more than $817 million due to interest rate moves over the next year. The increase of the interest rate 1-year VaR was attributed to elevated volatility in interest rates in 2022 compared to the previous year; the US rates market in particular was significantly impacted by both the US Federal Reserve’s monetary policy tightening decisions as well as concerns among market participants over the possibility of a recession. The expected shortfall that measures the possible tail risk was reported at 1.96% of ADB’s equity on 31 December 2022.

Duration. Interest rate sensitivity of total OCR, as reflected in its weighted portfolio duration, decreased from 1.39 years as of the end of 2021 to 1.15 years as of the end of 2022.

Stress testing . ADB measures how sensitive the total OCR is to parallel shifts in interest rates. If interest rates were to rise 2%, the total OCR would be expected to lose 2.2% of net asset value (NAV) ($1,102 million). ADB also uses historical and hypothetical scenario analysis to assess how the total OCR would respond to significant changes in asset values. Because of the high quality of ADB’s investments, scenario analysis suggests the impact to the liquidity portfolio from historical stress scenarios is generally limited. ADB monitors VaR, ES, and duration, and performs stress testing to manage market risk in the liquidity portfolio. The major currencies of the ELP bear the majority of ADB’s market risk including the US dollar, yen, euro, and pound sterling, and represented 85% of the ELP NAV.

3. Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk can arise if ADB is unable to raise funds to meet its financial and operational commitments. ADB maintains core liquidity to safeguard against a liquidity shortfall in case its access to the capital markets is temporarily denied. The overriding objective of the liquidity policy is to enable ADB to obtain the most cost-efficient funding under both normal and stressed situations and manage liquidity optimally to achieve its development mission. The prudential minimum liquidity is set at 12-month liquidity coverage and it is 100% of ADB’s one-year net cash requirement. This represents the minimum amount of eligible liquidity necessary for ADB to continue operations even if access to capital markets is temporarily denied. Maintaining the prudential minimum liquidity level is designed to enable ADB to cover net cash requirements for 12 months without borrowing. The liquidity levels and cash requirements are monitored periodically in accordance with ADB’s liquidity policy. Refer to Prudential minimum liquidity section under E. Liquidity Management for additional information.

43

4. Operational Risk

ADB defines operational risk as the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events. ADB manages its operational risks based on a framework endorsed by the Risk Committee and approved by the President. The framework enables ADB to implement an approach that focuses on identifying, assessing, and managing risks to minimize potential adverse impacts. Risks with a high residual exposure are managed by implementing mitigation actions or controls, by transferring them (e.g., insurance, for mitigating low-frequency high-severity operational risks), or by making conscious decision to accept a risk if mitigations are not possible under a cost-benefit perspective.

Key components of ADB’s operational risk management approach include: (i) employing the Operational Risk Self Assessment in its key business areas; (ii) using Key Risk Indicators for operational risk profile monitoring and the collection of risk event information; (iii) conducting selected Scenario Analysis programs to quantify potential exposures; and (iv) promoting risk awareness through the issuance of a monthly operational risk e-Newsletter and presentations to internal and external stakeholders on the application of the methodologies. Within ADB, risk management and other independent control functions work together to embed a strong operational risk management culture and framework.

ADB regularly reports and performs analysis on its most relevant operational risks. They are rated in terms of likelihood of their occurrence and the impact to the organization. Processes and internal controls related to the most relevant risks are continuously strengthened and monitored to reduce the likelihood and impact of these operational risks.

With the end of the public health emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, ADB transitioned to a hybrid working arrangement in which ADB staff work from office on some days a week and work from home on other days. ADB continued to implement protective measures including enhanced health and safety procedures and strengthened information dissemination channels. ADB continues to monitor and address organizational resilience challenges and strengthen its business continuity posture to respond to any emerging issues.

5. Capital Adequacy

ADB’s capital adequacy framework (CAF) aims to ensure that large risk events will not lead to a downgrade of ADB’s AAA rating or to an erosion of investor confidence. The framework is designed to protect the risk-bearing capacity of ADB without relying on callable capital, and to maintain ADB’s ability to lend even during crises.

Under the CAF, ADB holds capital to protect against eight material risk types: credit risk in the operations portfolio, equity investment risk, interest rate risk, treasury counterparty risk, operational risk, pension risk, currency risk, and risk buffer for noncredit risk. ADB uses a capital utilization ratio (CUR) as the key metric in measuring capital adequacy. The CUR is the ratio of the total economic capital used (numerator) to usable equity (denominator).

ADB plans its operations in consideration of its risk-bearing capacity, by ensuring that the capital utilization ratio does not exceed 90% in the base case. In addition, ADB is managing its capital by risk transfers and exposure exchanges with peer MDBs. These mechanisms reduce concentration risk and lower capital utilization. As of 31 December 2022, ADB was adequately capitalized and reported CUR of 83.9% (74.0% – 31 December 2021).

44

6. Asset and Liability Management

ADB has an asset and liability management policy framework that guides all financial policies related to asset and liability management including liquidity, investments, and equity management. The objectives of the asset and liability management are to safeguard ADB’s net worth and capital adequacy, promote steady growth in ADB’s risk-bearing capacity, and define financial policies to undertake acceptable financial risks. The aim is to provide resources for developmental lending at the lowest and most stable funding cost to borrowers, along with the most reasonable lending terms, while safeguarding ADB’s financial strength. ADB’s asset and liability management aims to safeguard net worth from foreign exchange rate risks, protect net interest margin from fluctuations in interest rates, and provide sufficient liquidity to meet the needs of ADB operations.

G. Internal Control over Financial Reporting

ADB assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission for its 2022 financial statements. ADB applied a risk-based evaluation framework for the assertion of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting for OCR and Special Funds, except for the ADB Institute (ADBI). The scope included a review of business processes for financial reporting and the IT general controls. ADB staff across several departments and offices were responsible for: (i) identifying and testing key controls, and (ii) assessing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of the key controls.

The financial reporting processes and controls have not been significantly affected by the transition from the prolonged work from home arrangement to the hybrid work set-up. ADB systems continue to be accessible remotely in the hybrid environment allowing transactions to be processed, reviewed, and approved through the relevant systems supported by IT controls necessary to prepare the financial statements.

The effectiveness of ADB’s Internal control over financial reporting has been audited by its external auditor, as stated in their respective reports, which expressed an unmodified opinion on the effectiveness of ADB’s internal control over financial reporting for OCR and Special Funds (except for ADBI) as of 31 December 2022.

H. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note B of the OCR financial statements. The preparation of the financial statements requires estimates, judgments and assumptions on certain transactions. These estimates, which are based on judgment and available information, are considered critical because they have material impact, or have the potential to have a material impact on the reported balances in the financial statements. ADB believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions made are reasonable based on historical experience, current trends and available information at the time they were made. Actual results may differ and could have a material impact on the financial statements.

Fair value of financial instruments. Under statutory reporting, ADB carries selected financial instruments and derivatives, as defined by ASC Topics 815 and 825, on a fair value basis. ADB follows a fair value hierarchy that gives highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level1), next priority to observable market inputs or market corroborated data (Level 2), and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs without market corroborated data (Level 3). These are discussed in Note B of OCR’s financial statements. Financial instruments include embedded derivatives that are valued and accounted for in the

45

balance sheet as a whole. Fair values are usually based on quoted market prices. If market prices are not readily available, fair values are usually determined using market-based pricing models incorporating market data.

The pricing models used to determine the fair value are generally based on discounted cash flow models. For level 3 equity investments at fair value, pricing models include discounted cash flows, net asset value, and comparable valuations incorporating inputs such as equity multiples. ADB reviews the pricing models to assess whether the assumptions are appropriate and produce results that reflect the reasonable valuation of the financial instruments. In addition, the fair values derived from the models are subject to ongoing internal and external verification and review. The models use market-sourced inputs, such as interest rates, exchange rates, and option volatilities.

Changes in the pricing models used and selection of inputs for the valuation of level 3 financial instruments may involve some judgement and could significantly impact the fair value of the financial instruments in the balance sheet and the unrealized gains or losses in the statement of income and expenses. ADB believes that the estimates of fair values are reasonable.

Allowance and liability for credit losses . ADB adopts the CECL model in measuring the allowance for credit losses. CECL mainly focuses on the credit loss model for financial assets measured at amortized cost, which are represented by loans and held-to-maturity debt securities for ADB. CECL also requires measuring credit losses for off-balance sheet commitments such as undisbursed loan and held-to-maturity debt securities commitments and guarantees, in which ADB is exposed to credit risk. ADB records a liability for credit losses on off-balance sheet exposures for the undisbursed commitments. The provision for credit losses is based on expected losses over the remaining lifetime of loans, guarantees, and held-to-maturity debt securities. The measurement of allowance and liability for credit losses includes significant judgments based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. For further details, refer to Current expected credit loss under Loans section and to Note B of OCR Financial Statements.

In determining the allowance and liability for credit losses, ADB considers various factors including default rates, credit ratings and macroeconomic forecasts. Changes in assumptions and forecasts could significantly affect the allowance and liability for credit losses. ADB believes that the assumptions used in making the estimates are reasonable and the allowance and liability for credit losses are adequate.

Pension and other postretirement benefits. ADB provides staff pension and postretirement medical benefits for all eligible staff members that have not reached the normal retirement age. Net periodic benefit costs are allocated between OCR and the ADF based on the agreed costsharing methodology. The underlying actuarial assumptions used to determine the benefit obligations and funded status associated with these plans are based on market interest rates, past experience, and Management’s best estimate of future benefit changes and economic conditions. In deriving the pension and postretirement benefit obligations and funded status, ADB considers the discount rate as the most significant input. Change in this assumption could significantly affect the benefit obligations and funded status at the end of reporting period. For further details, refer to Note Q of OCR Financial Statements.

III. SPECIAL FUNDS

ADB is authorized by its Charter to establish and administer Special Funds. These are the ADF, Technical Assistance Special Fund (TASF), Japan Special Fund (JSF), Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI), Regional Cooperation and Integration Fund (RCIF), Climate Change Fund (CCF), Asia Pacific Disaster Response Fund (APDRF), and Financial Sector Development Partnership Special Fund (FSDPSF). Financial statements for each Special Fund are prepared in accordance with US GAAP.

A. Asian Development Fund

The ADF was established as ADB’s concessional financing window for DMCs with per capita gross national income below the IDA operational cutoff and lack of and limited creditworthiness. It provides a multilateral source of concessional assistance dedicated to support the poorest and most vulnerable countries in Asia and the Pacific. The ADF 13 has received contributions from 32 donors (regional and nonregional). Cofinancing with bilateral and multilateral development partners complements ADF resources. With the termination of the ADF lending operations and its transfer to OCR on 1 January 2017, the ADF became a grant-only operation.

ADF 13 Replenishment. In November 2020, the Board of Governors adopted a resolution for the 12[th] replenishment of the ADF (ADF 13) and the seventh regularized replenishment of the TASF. The $4.1 billion replenishment provides grant financing to eligible recipients from 2021 to 2024.[12] The ADF 13 became effective on 8 June 2021. As of 31 December 2022, ADB received instruments of contributions from 31 donors totaling $2,187 million, which represents 93% of the total ADF and TASF donor contribution commitment amounting to $2,361 million.[13]

Contributed resources. During 2022, $348 million of donor contributions (excluding TASF portion) was made available for operational commitments. Contributions not yet available for operational commitments comprise: (i) unpaid contributions; (ii) contributions received but are withheld due to pro-rata exercise; (iii) contributions received in advance; and (iv) unamortized discounts on accelerated notes encashment.

Liquidity management. ADF manages its liquidity assets under two tranches to enable the optimal use of financial resources. The main objective of the first tranche is to ensure adequate liquidity is available to meet expected cash requirements. The second tranche comprises the prudential minimum liquidity the ADF should hold to meet unexpected demands and liquidity for future commitments. This approach ensures that liquidity is managed transparently and efficiently.

Commitment authority. The commitment authority available for future commitments comprises the resources available to the ADF for its future activities in the form of grants. These resources are derived principally from donor contributions, and internal resources. The balance of the commitment authority available for commitment as of 31 December 2022 was $770 million ($1,037 million – 2021) equivalent (Table 22).

In May 2022, the Board of Governors approved the transfer of $292 million to the ADF as part of OCR’s 2021 net income allocation ($292 million – 2021). In addition, $65 million from grant savings and cancellations were included in the commitment authority. This resulted from Management’s continued assessment of opportunities to free committed resources through cancellations of unused grant balances.

During 2022, deposited installments under ADF 13 amounted to $479 million, ADF 13 encashment totaled $376 million, and about $96 million was transferred to the TASF.[14]

Investments for liquidity purpose. The ADF investment portfolio totaled $4,285 million at the end of 2022 compared to $4,644 million at the end of 2021.[15] As of 31 December 2022, about 3% of the portfolio was invested in time deposits (14% – 2021) and 97% in fixed-income securities (86% – 2021). The rate of return on ADF investments, excluding unrealized gains and losses, was 1.9% (1.6% – 2021).

Grants. Grants are recognized as expenses in the financial statements upon effectivity, when the agreements are signed and all conditions to effectiveness of the grant are satisfied. During the year ended 31 December 2022, 35 grants totaling $932 million were committed (28 grants totaling $344 million – 2021) while 30 grants totaling $827 million (38 grants totaling $524 million – 2021) became effective, net of $18 million ($47 million – 2021) undisbursed grants that were reversed as reduction in grant expenses.

Sovereign cofinancing for ADF grants. In 2022, a total of $90 million in sovereign loan and grant cofinancing was committed for 12 ADF-financed projects totaling $94 million.

14 ADF 13 encashment included encashment of promissory notes and cash payments. US dollar equivalent based on exchange rates as of 31 December 2022.

15 Includes securities purchased under resale arrangements.

B. Technical Assistance Special Fund

The TASF provides technical assistance grants to borrowing members to help prepare projects and undertake technical or policy studies. The funds resources consist of regularized replenishments and direct voluntary contributions by members, allocations from the net income of OCR, and revenue from investments and other sources.

TASF Seventh Regularized Replenishment. In November 2020, as part of the ADF 13 replenishment, the donors agreed to allocate $517 million of the total replenishment size as the seventh regularized replenishment of TASF. The replenishment will cover TA financing for 2021 to 2024.

Contributed resources. As of 31 December 2022, a total of $457 million of donor contributions have been received out of the $461 million allocation set-aside for TASF under ADF 12. Total of $228 million of donor contributions have been received out of the $517 million set-aside for TASF under ADF 13.

At the end of 2022, cumulative TASF resources (Table 23) totaled $3,958 million, of which $3,673 million was committed, leaving an uncommitted balance of $285 million ($464 million – 2021).

In May 2022, the Board of Governors approved the transfer of $90 million to the TASF as part of OCR’s 2021 net income allocation ($90 million – 2021).

Operations. For the year ended 31 December 2022, net TA expenses amounted to $218 million ($189 million – 2021), comprising $218 million for 165 TA projects and 109 supplementary TA ($207 million of 154 TA projects and 96 supplementary TA – 2021) made effective during the year, net of $19 million ($18 million – 2021) undisbursed amounts that were reversed as reduction in TA expenses. The undisbursed TA, net of TA advances, amounted to $700 million as of 31 December 2022 ($629 million – 2021).

Investments for liquidity purpose . As of 31 December 2022, the total investment portfolio amounted to $699 million ($672 million – 2021). About 23% of the portfolio was invested in time deposits and 77% in fixed-income securities (42% in time deposits and 58% in fixed-income securities – 2021). Total revenue from investments for the year ended 31 December 2022 amounted to $-20 million ($-4 million – 2021). The rate of return on TASF investments was -2.9% (-0.6% – 2021).

49

C. Japan Special Fund

The JSF was established in March 1988 when the Government of Japan and ADB entered into an agreement whereby the Government of Japan made an initial contribution of JPY 2.5 billion with ADB as the administrator. The purpose of JSF is to help ADB’s DMCs restructure their economies in light of changing global environment and to broaden their investment opportunities.

Contributed resources. As of 31 December 2022, the cumulative fund resources of JSF totaled $1,013 million, of which $903 million had been used, leaving an uncommitted balance of $110 million.

Operations. During the year ended 31 December 2022, there were two TA projects totaling $4 million that became effective (nil – 2021). The balance of undisbursed TA as of 31 December 2022 amounted to $4 million (nil – 2021).

Investments for liquidity purpose. As of 31 December 2022, the total investment portfolio, which was in time deposits, amounted to $109 million ($107 million – 2021).

D. Asian Development Bank Institute

ADBI was established in 1996 as a subsidiary body of ADB, whose objectives are to identify effective development strategies and capacity improvements for sound development management in the DMCs. Its operating costs are met by ADBI, and it is administered in accordance with the Statute of the ADBI.

During 2022, committed contributions to ADBI totaled $12 million ($13 million – 2021). As of 31 December 2022, cumulative contributions committed to ADBI amounted to ¥35 billion, A$2 million, and $16 million (about $338 million equivalent). Of the total contributions received, $260 million had been utilized by the end of 2022 ($255 million – 2021) mainly for research and capacity-building activities, including: (i) organizing symposia, forums, and training sessions; (ii) preparing research reports, publications, and websites; and (iii) financing associated administrative expenses. For the year ended 31 December 2022, total expenses of ADBI totaled $13 million ($13 million – 2021). The balance of net assets without donor restrictions (excluding property, furniture, and equipment and lease liability) available for future projects and programs was about $26 million ($25 million – 2021).

Investments for liquidity purpose. As of 31 December 2022, the total investment portfolio, which was in time deposits, amounted to $11 million ($11 million – 31 December 2021).

E. Regional Cooperation and Integration Fund

Established in February 2007 as a special fund under the Regional Cooperation and Integration Financing Partnership Facility, the RCIF aims to enhance regional cooperation and integration in Asia and the Pacific by financing TA projects that support greater and higher quality connectivity between economies, expand global and regional trade and investment opportunities, and increase and diversify regional public goods.

IV. TRUST FUNDS AND COFINANCING UNDER ADMINISTRATION

Trust funds and project-specific loans and grants are key instruments to mobilize and channel financial resources from external sources to finance TA and components of investment projects. They play an important role in complementing ADB’s own resources. Multilateral, bilateral, public and private sector partners have cumulatively contributed about $10,908 million in grants and loans to ADB operations. In 2022, ADB fully-administered sovereign cofinancing commitments amounted to $360 million, composed of $236 million for 20 investment projects and $124 million for 82 TA projects. Nonsovereign cofinancing commitments that are ADB-administered amounted to $353 million for 27 projects and TAs, consisting of $106 million official cofinancing, $98 million B-loans, and $149 million risk transfers. By the end of 2022, ADB was administering 43 trust funds, comprising 25 stand-alone trust funds, and 18 trust funds established under financing partnership facilities. Additional contributions from external partners amounted to $431 million in 2022, comprising $264 million in new contributions and replenishments to existing trust funds and $167 million in additional allocation from global funding initiatives. Additional allocations from global funding initiatives comprised of $100 million from the Green Climate Fund, $28 million from the Global Environment Facility, $15 million from the Climate Investment Funds, $15 million from the Global Partnership for Education, and $9 million from the Global Agriculture and Food Security Program.

a Originally the Japan Fund for Poverty Reduction, the new name took effect on 1 January 2022.

Japan Fund for Prosperous and Resilient Asia and the Pacific. The Government of Japan established the original Japan Fund for Poverty Reduction (JFPR) in May 2000 to provide grants for projects supporting poverty reduction and related social development activities that add value to projects financed by ADB. In 2010, the JFPR expanded its scope of grant assistance to provide TA grants to support capacity building efforts in DMCs. On 1 September 2021, ADB Board of Directors approved the enhanced and renamed JFPR to help ADB’s DMCs achieve resilient recovery from the crisis, by enhancing preparedness for the next crisis and building a sustainable society and the foundation for a prosperous future while bolstering vulnerable groups through the established priority areas. At the end of 2022, the JFPR received $1.02 billion in cumulative contributions from the Government of Japan including the $75 million COVID-19 Window which was created in 2020 to help DMCs strengthen their capacity to contain the spread of the COVID19 pandemic. Total project commitments since 2000 amounted to $1.06 billion for 216 grant projects and 319 technical assistance projects, of which $39 million was committed under the COVID-19 window.

GOVERNANCE AND ADMINISTRATION

The Charter provides that ADB shall have a Board of Governors, a Board of Directors, a President, one or more Vice-Presidents and such other officers and staff as may be considered necessary. All the powers of ADB are vested in the Board of Governors, which consists of one Governor and one Alternate appointed by each member. The Board of Governors holds an annual meeting, and such other meetings as may be provided for by the Board of Governors or called by the Board of Directors.

The responsibility for the direction of the general operations of ADB rests with the Board of Directors, the members of which serve full-time at ADB’s principal office. The Board of Directors has 12 members, of whom eight are elected by the Governors representing regional members and four are elected by the Governors representing non-regional members. The Board of Governors has delegated to the Board of Directors all its powers except those whose delegation are expressly prohibited by the Charter. Each Director is entitled to cast the number of votes that are counted toward his or her election, which votes need not be cast as a unit. Directors hold office for a term of two years and may be reelected. Each Director appoints an Alternate Director to act in such Director’s absence.

Matters before the Board of Governors or the Board of Directors are decided by a majority of the voting power of the members represented at the meeting, except in certain cases provided in the Charter in which a higher percentage is required.

The President, who must be a national of a regional member, is elected by the Board of Governors. The President is elected for a 5-year term and may be reelected. The President is the Chairman of the Board of Directors but has no vote except a deciding vote in the case of an equal division of votes. The President is the legal representative of ADB. The President is the chief of the staff of the ADB and conducts, under the direction of the Board of Directors, the current business of ADB. The President is responsible for the organization, appointment and dismissal of the officers and staff, in accordance with regulations adopted by the Board of Directors.

The Vice-Presidents are appointed by the Board of Directors on the recommendation of the President. ADB currently has six Vice-Presidents. Each Vice-President holds office for such term, exercises such authority and performs such functions in the administration of ADB as may be determined by the Board of Directors. In the absence or incapacity of the President, the ranking Vice-President (otherwise and usually known as the most senior vice-president) exercises the authority and performs the functions of the President.

The Board of Directors has established an Audit and Risk Committee, a Budget Review Committee, a Board Compliance Review Committee, a Development Effectiveness Committee, an Ethics Committee, and a Human Resources Committee. The President, in consultation with the Board of Directors, appoints the members and designates the chair of the committees. Efforts are made to have balanced representation in committees taking into consideration the economic and geographic diversity of the members of ADB. Except for the Ethics Committee which has five members, all Board committees have six members.

Audit and Risk Committee

The Audit and Risk Committee was established to assist the Board of Directors in carrying out its responsibilities as they relate to ADB’s financial reporting and audits, including internal controls and risk management.

56

The Audit and Risk Committee assists the Board of Directors in overseeing ADB’s finances, accounting, internal control and risk management, anticorruption and integrity including cybersecurity, business continuity and organizational resilience and how these are managed, and proper accountabilities are enforced. It is tasked to ensure that ADB’s financial reporting and audits, including internal control and risk management, are adequate and efficient.

Budget Review Committee

The Budget Review Committee was established to enhance the effectiveness of the Board of Directors in discharging its responsibilities in connection with the approval of the annual administrative budget and the supervision over budgetary efficiency and prudence.

The Budget Review Committee reviews the proposed annual administrative budget, taking into account the mid-year review of the current administrative budget; reviews the proposed special capital expenditure; guides strategic alignment of budgetary resources and oversees budgetary prudence and cost control; and considers any other aspect of the administrative budget as the President may request and reports its findings to the Board of Directors.

Board Compliance Review Committee

The Board Compliance Review Committee was established under ADB’s Accountability Mechanism Policy. The committee’s responsibilities include: (i) approving the Compliance Review Panel’s (CRP) terms of reference for compliance review, (ii) reviewing the CRP’s draft reports, (iii) deciding on monitoring time frames, (iv) reviewing and endorsing the work plan and budget of the CRP and the Office of the CRP, (v) overseeing the selection and appointment of CRP members, in consultation with the ADB President, (vi) engaging in dialogue with ADB Management, following a member country’s refusal of site visits for the CRP, on the reasons behind such refusal, should this adverse situation arise, and (vii) serving as the Board of Directors’ focal point for the CRP’s communication and dialogue with the Board on the Accountability Mechanism.

Development Effectiveness Committee

The Development Effectiveness Committee was established to assist the Board of Directors in carrying out its responsibility of ensuring that ADB’s programs and activities achieve development effectiveness. Development effectiveness is assessed through ADB’s operations evaluation. The Development Effectiveness Committee focuses increasingly on broader evaluations at the country, sector, thematic, and policy levels.

The Development Effectiveness Committee is expected to satisfy itself that ADB’s operations evaluation activities are adequate and efficient. In this regard, the responsibilities that the Development Effectiveness Committee carries out on behalf of the Board of Directors are as follows: (i) recommend to the Board of Directors, jointly with the President, the person to be considered by the Board of Directors for appointment as Director General of ADB’s Independent Evaluation Department (IED), subject to the terms and conditions approved by the Board of Directors; (ii) advise IED in the preparation of an annual IED work program that the Development Effectiveness Committee can endorse to the Board of Directors for approval; (iii) advise IED in the preparation of an annual budget proposal that the Development Effectiveness Committee can endorse for review by the Budget Review Committee; (iv) review all IED reports and discuss selected major reports, as well as Management responses to any report; (v) monitor and evaluate

57

the actions taken by ADB on the recommendations in the IED reports accepted by Management and endorsed by the Development Effectiveness Committee to the Board of Directors; (vi) report to the Board of Directors on selected development effectiveness issues that have a significant bearing towards the achievement of ADB’s overarching goal of poverty reduction, and make recommendations on such issues to the Board of Directors; (vii) monitor and report to the Board of Directors on the implementation of its decisions; (viii) review the annual report on evaluation activities; and (ix) review the annual report on loan and technical assistance portfolio performance.

Ethics Committee

The Ethics Committee was created to address matters of ethics that may arise under the Code of Conduct adopted by the Board of Directors on 21 November 2006, and which was most recently amended on 14 January 2020. The provisions of the Code of Conduct apply to all members of the Board of Directors (Directors, Alternate Directors, and temporary Alternate Directors) and to the President.

The Ethics Committee shall consider: (i) requests from Directors, Alternate Directors or the President for guidance concerning possible actual or potential conflicts of interest, or other ethical aspects of conduct in respect of Directors, Alternate Directors or the President, and provide advice in response thereto; and (ii) allegations of misconduct against Directors, Alternate Directors or the President that relate to the performance of official duties or actions that affect their performance of official duties, whether such actions are taken prior to, during, or, with respect to any applicable restrictions on future employment or disclosure of information, subsequent to their terms of service as Directors, Alternate Directors or President, and make recommendations to the Board of Directors with respect thereto.

Human Resources Committee

The Human Resources Committee is a means by which the Board of Directors can provide guidance on human resources management. Its primary responsibility includes reviewing, monitoring and making recommendations to the Board of Directors on ADB’s human resources strategies and policies.

THE CHARTER

The Charter is ADB’s governing constitution. It establishes the status, immunities, exemptions, and privileges of ADB, describes its purposes, capital structure and organization, authorizes the operations in which it may engage and prescribes limitations on the carrying out of those operations. The Charter also contains, among other things, provisions with respect to the admission of additional members, increases of the authorized capital stock, the terms and conditions under which ADB may make or guarantee loans, the use of currencies held by it, the withdrawal and suspension of members, and the suspension and termination of ADB’s operations.

Under the Charter, membership in ADB is open to (i) members and associate members of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific, and (ii) other regional countries and non-regional developed countries which are members of the United Nations or of any of its specialized agencies. Within the foregoing limitations, new members may be admitted upon the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the total number of Governors representing not less than three-fourths of the total voting power of the members.

The Charter provides that no new membership subscription shall be authorized which would have the effect of reducing the aggregate of capital stock held by regional members below 60% of the total subscribed capital stock. Although any member may withdraw from ADB by delivering written notice, any such member remains liable for all direct and contingent obligations to ADB to which it was subject at the date of delivery of such notice, including its obligations in respect of callable capital. No member has withdrawn from ADB since its establishment.

The Charter may be amended only by resolution of the Board of Governors approved by a vote of two-thirds of the total number of Governors representing not less than three-fourths of the total voting power of the members. The unanimous agreement of the Board of Governors is required for the approval of any amendment modifying the right to withdraw from ADB, the pre-emptive rights to purchase capital stock or the limitation on liability of members. The Charter provides that any question of interpretation or application of its provisions arising between any member and ADB or between two or more members of ADB, shall be submitted to the Board of Directors for decision. Where the Board of Directors has given a decision relating to interpretation of application of the Charter, any member may require that the question may be referred to the Board of Governors, whose decision shall be final.

62

LEGAL STATUS, PRIVILEGES, AND IMMUNITIES

The Charter contains provisions which accord to ADB legal status and certain immunities and privileges in the territories of each of its members. Certain provisions are summarized below.

ADB has full juridical personality with capacity to contract, to acquire and dispose of immovable and movable property and to institute legal proceedings. Unless it chooses to waive such immunity, ADB is immune from every form of legal process, except in cases arising out of or in connection with the exercise of its powers to borrow money, to guarantee obligations or to buy and sell or underwrite the sale of securities. In such cases where immunity does not apply, actions may be brought against ADB in a court of competent jurisdiction in the territory of a country in which it has its principal or a branch office, has appointed an agent for accepting service or notice of process, or has issued or guaranteed securities. No action against ADB may be brought by its members or persons acting for, or deriving claims from, its members.

The Governors, Alternate Governors, Executive Directors, Alternate Executive Directors, officers and employees of ADB, including experts performing missions for it, are immune from legal process for acts performed by them in their official capacity, except when ADB waives such immunity.

The property and assets of ADB are immune from all forms of seizure, attachment or execution before the delivery of final judgment against it. Such property and assets are also immune from search, requisition, confiscation, expropriation or any other form of taking or foreclosure by executive or legislative action. Moreover, property and assets of ADB are free from restrictions, regulations, controls and moratoria of any nature to the extent necessary to carry out the purpose and functions of ADB effectively, and subject to the provisions of the Charter. The archives of ADB are inviolable.

ADB and its assets, property, income and its operations and transactions are exempt from all taxation and from all customs duties. ADB is also exempt from any obligation for the payment, withholding or collection of any tax or duty.

AUDIT FEES

Deloitte & Touche LLP, Singapore (D&T) served as ADB’s independent auditors for the financial years 2022 and 2021. ADB incurred $2.7 million for financial year 2022 ($2.8 million for 2021) in professional fees for audit services of D&T and $ 0.2 million for financial year 2022 ($0.4 million for 2021) for non-audit services of other D&T offices worldwide pertaining to ADB’s technical assistance projects and staff consulting services. No services for financial information systems design and implementation were rendered by D&T to ADB during 2022 and 2021.

D&T also provided audit services to the Asian Development Bank Institute, an organization affiliated with ADB, for which an amount of $30.3 thousand for financial year 2022 ($28.9 thousand for 2021) was incurred. This is in line with ADB’s Principles for Selection of External Auditor approved by the Board of Directors.

ORDINARY CAPITAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The management of Asian Development Bank ("ADB") is responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. ADB's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the preparation of reliable financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

ADB's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of ADB; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of ADB are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of ADB; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention, or timely detection and correction, of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of ADB's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements. Also, projections of any assessment of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

ADB's management assessed the effectiveness of ADB's internal control over financial reporting as of 31 December 2022, based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that assessment, management concluded that ADB's internal control over financial reporting is effective as of 31 December 2022.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Board of Directors and the Board of Governors of

Asian Development Bank

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Asian Development Bank (“ADB”) as of December 31, 2022, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, ADB maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022.

We also have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS), the accompanying balance sheets of Asian Development Bank (“ADB”) –Ordinary Capital Resources as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related statements of income and expenses, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended and the related notes to the financial statements. Our report dated March 13, 2023 expressed an unmodified opinion on those financial statements.

Basis of Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with GAAS. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting section of our report. We are required to be independent of ADB and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide basis for our audit opinion.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects – and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion on internal control over financial reporting. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit of internal control over financial reporting conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material weakness when it exists.

In performing an audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with GAAS, we:

• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assess the risk that a material weakness exists, and test and evaluate the design and operating effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the assessed risk.

Definition and Inherent Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

ADB’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the preparation of reliable financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. ADB's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of ADB; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of ADB are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of ADB; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection and correction, of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of ADB’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect and correct, misstatements. Also, projections of any assessment of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Board of Directors and the Board of Governors of Asian Development Bank

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Asian Development Bank (“ADB”) – Ordinary Capital Resources, which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related statements of income and expenses, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ADB - Ordinary Capital Resources as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, ADB’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 13, 2023 expressed an unmodified opinion on ADB’s internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of ADB - Ordinary Capital Resources and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about ADB – Ordinary Capital Resources’ ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.

• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about ADB – Ordinary Capital Resources’ ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit.

Report on Supplemental Schedules

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a whole. The supplemental schedules of summary statement of loans – operations and summary statement of borrowings as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and statement of subscriptions to capital stock and voting power as of December 31, 2022, and the supplementary information on the transfer of ADF loans and other assets to OCR on January 1, 2017, are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements. These schedules are the responsibility of ADB's management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements.

Such schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such schedules directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, such schedules are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report.

ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK—ORDINARY CAPITAL RESOURCES SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION ON THE TRANSFER OF ADF LOANS AND OTHER ASSETS TO OCR ON 1 JANUARY 2017

On 1 January 2017, ADB transferred loans and other assets totaling $30,812 million from the Asian Development Fund (ADF) to ordinary capital resources (OCR) in accordance with the Board of Governors’ Resolution No. 372 authorizing the termination of ADF’s lending operations. From then on, concessional lending to lower-income countries continued from the OCR.

The transferred ADF assets comprised loans including accrued interest totaling $27,088 million and liquid assets totaling $3,724 million. Except for the $64 million return of set-aside resources, the rest of the transferred assets was treated as a contribution from ADF to OCR and recognized as a one-time income of $30,748 million in OCR, which has been allocated to ordinary reserves on 1 January 2017, following the adoption of the Board of Governors’ Resolution No. 387 dated 15 March 2017. The contribution part amounting to $30,748 million and the fair value adjustment on the loans amounting to $281 million were recognized as one-time loss of $31,029 million in ADF.

The proportionate share of ADF donors in the transferred assets as of 1 January 2017, taking into account the value of paid-in donor contributions that have been made available for operational commitments which are deemed by ADB to be applied for the transferred assets, was determined in accordance with Article V of the Regulations of the Asian Development Fund. Under Board of Governors’ Resolution No. 372, the proportionate share of an ADF donor will be taken into account in the event of the withdrawal of that donor from ADB and ADB's repurchase of its shares, and in the theoretical termination of ADB operations and liquidation of its assets. The value of each donor’s paid-in contributions was fixed in US dollars based on the special drawing right value of each donor contribution as of 1 January 2017. This was then used to determine the sources of funds in the transferred assets, as summarized in the following table.

ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK—ORDINARY CAPITAL RESOURCES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 December 2022 and 2021

NOTE A—NATURE OF OPERATIONS, TRANSFER OF ADF LOANS AND OTHER ASSETS TO OCR, AND LIMITATIONS ON LOANS, GUARANTEES AND EQUITY INVESTMENTS

Nature of Operations

The Asian Development Bank (ADB), a multilateral development bank, was established in 1966 with its headquarters in Manila, Philippines. ADB and its operations are governed by the Agreement Establishing the Asian Development Bank (the Charter). Its purpose is to foster economic development and co-operation in Asia and the Pacific region and to contribute to the acceleration of the process of economic development of the developing member countries (DMCs) in the region, collectively and individually. Since 1999, ADB’s corporate vision and mission has been to help DMCs reduce poverty in the region. This was reaffirmed under the long-term corporate strategy to 2030—Strategy 2030. Under Strategy 2030, ADB’s vision is to achieve a prosperous, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable Asia and the Pacific, while sustaining its efforts to eradicate extreme poverty. ADB will continue to prioritize the region’s poorest and most vulnerable countries.

ADB conducts its operations through the ordinary capital resources (OCR) and Special Funds (See Note S). Mobilizing financial resources, including cofinancing, is another integral part of ADB’s operational activities, where ADB, alone or jointly, administers on behalf of donor’s funds provided for specific uses.

ADB’s OCR operations comprise loans, equity investments, investment in other debt securities, and guarantees. ADB finances its ordinary operations through borrowings, paid-in capital, and reserves.

ADB is immune from taxation pursuant to Chapter VIII, Article 56, Exemption from Taxation , of the Charter.

Transfer of ADF Loans and Other Assets to OCR

Effective 1 January 2017, ADB transferred loans and other assets totaling $30,812 million from the Asian Development Fund (ADF) to OCR in accordance with the Board of Governors’ Resolution No. 372. Except for the $64 million return of set-aside resources, the rest of the transferred assets was treated as a contribution from ADF to OCR and was recognized as a one-time income of $30,748 million in OCR (See Note N).

The proportionate share of funding sources of the ADF assets transferred to OCR is shown in OCR-9.

Limitations on Loans, Guarantees, and Equity Investments

Article 12, paragraph 1 of the Charter provides that the total amount of outstanding loans, equity investments, and guarantees made by ADB shall not exceed the total of ADB’s unimpaired subscribed capital, reserves, and surplus, exclusive of the special reserve. ADB’s policy on lending limitations limits the total amount of disbursed loans, disbursed equity investments and related prudential buffer, and the maximum amount that could be demanded from ADB under its guarantee portfolio, to the total amount of ADB’s unimpaired subscribed capital, reserves and surplus exclusive of the special reserve. As of 31 December 2022, the total of such loans (including other debt securities), equity investments and related prudential buffers, and guarantees aggregated approximately 77.9% (71.2% – 2021) of the total subscribed capital, reserves, and surplus exclusive of the special reserve.

Article 12, paragraph 3 of the Charter provides that equity investments shall not exceed 10% of the unimpaired paid-in capital actually paid up at any given time together with reserves and surplus, exclusive of the special reserve. As of 31 December 2022, such equity investments represented approximately 3.3% (3.2% – 2021) of the paid-in capital, reserves, and surplus, as defined.

NOTE B—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Presentation of the Financial Statements

The financial statements of OCR are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP).

Functional Currencies and Reporting Currency

The functional currencies of OCR comprise the currencies of all members and special drawing right (SDR) as these are the currencies of the primary economic environments in which ADB operates. The reporting currency is the United States (US) dollar, and the financial statements are reported in US dollars.

Translation of Currencies

ADB adopts the use of daily exchange rates for accounting and financial reporting purposes. This allows transactions in currencies other than the US dollar to be translated to the reporting currency using exchange rates applicable at the time of transactions. At the end of each accounting month, assets, liabilities, and capital are translated to US dollar using the applicable exchange rates. The translation adjustments, other than those relating to the non-functional currencies, are charged or credited to Accumulated translation adjustments and reported in EQUITY as part of Accumulated other comprehensive loss (Note N).

Valuation of Capital Stock

The authorized capital stock of ADB is defined in Article 4, paragraph 1 of the Charter “in terms of US dollars of the weight and fineness in effect on 31 January 1966” (1966 dollar) and the value of each share is defined as 10,000 1966 dollars. The capital stock had historically been translated into the current US dollar (ADB’s unit of account) on the basis of its par value in terms of gold. From 1973 until 31 March 1978, the rate arrived at on this basis was $1.20635 per 1966 dollar. Since 1 April 1978, at which time the Second Amendment to the Articles of Agreement of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) came into effect, currencies no longer have par values in terms of gold. Pending ADB’s selection of the appropriate successor to the 1966 dollar, the capital stock has been valued for purposes of these financial statements in terms of the SDR at the value in US dollars as determined by the IMF, with each share valued at SDR10,000.

As of 31 December 2022, the value of the SDR in terms of the US dollar was $1.330840 ($1.399580 – 2021) giving a value for each share of ADB’s capital equivalent to $13,308.40 ($13,995.80 – 2021).

Derivative Financial Instruments

ADB reports all derivative transactions in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” ADB has elected not to define any qualifying hedging relationships, not because economic hedges do not exist, but rather because the application of ASC 815 hedging criteria does not make fully evident ADB’s risk management strategies. All derivative instruments are reported at fair value (FV) and changes in FV have been recognized in net income. ADB records derivatives in the Balance Sheet as either assets or liabilities, consistent with the legal rights and way the instruments are settled. Individual interest rate swaps are recorded on a net basis, while all other swaps, including cross currency and foreign exchange swaps, are recorded on a gross basis.

ADB classifies the cash flows related to nonhedging derivatives in the Statement of Cash Flows in accordance with the nature of the derivative instrument and how it is used in the context of ADB’s operations. Payment for and receipts from derivatives could either be Cash Flows for Investing Activities or Cash Flows from Financing Activities.

Investments for Liquidity Purpose

All investment securities and time deposits held by ADB are considered to be available for sale (AFS) and are reported at FV. Unrealized gains and losses are reported in EQUITY as part of Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Realized gains and losses are reported in the Statement of Income and Expenses under NET REALIZED GAINS From investments for liquidity purpose and are measured by the difference between amortized cost and the net proceeds of sales using the specific identification method for internally managed investment portfolio and the weighted average cost method for externally managed investment portfolio.

Interest income on investment securities and time deposits is recognized as earned and reported net of amortization of premiums and discounts.

Securities Transferred Under Repurchase Agreements and Securities Purchased Under Resale Arrangements

Transfer of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the transferred assets has been relinquished. Otherwise, the transfers are accounted for as repurchase/resale agreements and collateralized financing arrangements. Under repurchase agreements, securities transferred are recorded as assets and reported at FV and cash received as collateral is recorded as a liability. ADB monitors the FV of securities transferred under repurchase agreements and the received collateral. Under resale arrangements, securities purchased are recorded as assets and are not re-pledged.

Loans — Operations

ADB’s loans are made to or guaranteed by members, with the exception of nonsovereign loans. Loan interest income and loan commitment fees are recognized on accrual basis. In line with ADB’s principle of cost passthrough pricing in regular sovereign loan, the funding cost margin is passed on to Flexible Loan Product (FLP) loan and London interbank offered rate (LIBOR)-based loan (LBL) borrowers as a surcharge or rebate.

It is the policy of ADB to place loans in non-accrual status if the principal, interest, or other charges with respect to any such loans is overdue by more than 180 days or in case of loans that are not yet overdue by more than 180 days, when there is expectation that loan service payment will not be collected when they become due, at the point when such information is known. Once a loan to a borrower is placed in nonaccrual status, all other overdue loans to the same borrower will be placed in non-accrual status. On the date a borrower’s loans are placed into non-accrual status, unpaid interest and other charges accrued are deducted from the revenue of the current period. Interest on non-accruing loans is included in revenue only to the extent that payments have actually been received by ADB. Accordingly, loans are reinstated to accrual status when all the principal, interest and other charges due on the loan have been collected. ADB maintains a position of not taking part in debt rescheduling agreements with respect to sovereign loans. In the case of nonsovereign loans, ADB may agree to debt rescheduling only after alternative courses of action have been exhausted.

ADB levies a commitment charge on the undisbursed balance of effective regular sovereign and nonsovereign loans. Unless otherwise provided by the loan agreement, the charges take effect commencing on the 60th day after the loan signing date and are credited to loan income. Front-end fees have been eliminated for sovereign loans negotiated on or after 1 October 2007. However, for loans under contingent disaster financing, the borrower will pay, in lieu of commitment charges, a front-end fee of 0.25% or 0.10% of the committed loan amount depending on contingent disaster financing option, which are deferred and amortized over the life of the loans. Loans under Small Expenditure Financing Facility carries a front-end fee of 0.15% of the facility amount.

ADB charges front-end fees for nonsovereign loans, which are deferred and amortized over the life of the loans after offsetting deferred direct loan origination costs.

87

OCR-10

continued

ADB offers loans to its concessional sovereign borrowers at fixed (1.0%, 1.5% or 2.0%) interest rates with repayment over periods ranging from 24 to 40 years. Concessional sovereign loans are not subject to commitment charges.

Allowance for Credit Losses

ADB records an allowance for credit losses over the remaining lifetime of financial assets measured at amortized cost (including loans and held-to-maturity [HTM] debt securities). In addition, a liability is recorded for off-balance sheet credit exposures for undisbursed loan commitments and financial guarantees over the contractual period. ADB estimates the expected credit losses based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The expected credit losses are measured as the product of exposure at default (EAD), probability of default (PD), and loss given default (LGD). When loans are considered impaired, they are individually reviewed and assessed to determine the expected credit losses using appropriate methods, including discounted cash flow method.

The allowance for credit losses and liability for credit losses on off-balance sheet exposures such as guarantees and undisbursed commitments for loans, and HTM debt securities, are reviewed quarterly, and the amount necessary to adjust the allowance and liability for credit losses is reported as Provision (Release of provision) for credit losses in the Statement of Income and Expenses under EXPENSES. ADB elects not to record the allowance on accrued interest receivables as it reverses the accrued interest of the loans under non-accrual status in accordance with its non-accrual policy. Partial or full write-off of financial assets will be deducted from the allowance. Expected recoveries of amounts previously written-off or expected to be writtenoff are recognized as a negative allowance which does not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously written off and expected to be written off.

ADB uses risk transfer contracts between ADB and third parties such as insurance companies or banks, where the third parties agree to assume a portion of the credit risk in a loan, HTM debt security, or guarantee provided by ADB. A recovery asset related to the risk transfer contracts is recognized at the time of recording of expected credit losses for the loans, HTM debt securities, and guarantees. The recovery asset is reviewed quarterly, and the amount to adjust the recovery asset is reflected in Provision (Release of provision) for credit losses.

When an available-for-sale (AFS) debt security’s fair value is lower than amortized cost, ADB recognizes impairment losses in earnings if ADB has the intent to sell the debt securities or if it is more likely than not that ADB will be required to sell the debt securities before recovery of the amortized cost. When ADB intends to hold and is not required to sell the debt securities, ADB will evaluate to determine if a credit loss exists. Portion of the decline in fair value below amortized cost basis due to credit-related factors will be recognized as an allowance for credit losses with a related charge to Provision for credit losses.

For certain financial assets, such as Due from Banks, Securities Purchased under Resale Arrangements, and Swap related and other collateral, no expected loss is determined based on the credit quality.

Guarantees

ADB provides guarantees under its sovereign and nonsovereign operations. Guarantees are regarded as outstanding when the underlying financial obligation of the borrower is incurred. ADB would be required to perform under its guarantees if the payments guaranteed were not made by the debtor, and the guaranteed party called the guarantee by demanding payments from ADB in accordance with the term of the guarantee.

For guarantees issued and modified on or after 1 January 2003, ADB recognizes at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the stand-by obligation to perform on guarantees. A front-end fee on guarantees received is deferred and amortized over the term of the guarantee contract. The unamortized balance of the deferred guarantee fee income, and the unamortized balance of the obligation to stand ready, are included in ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND OTHER LIABILITIES – Miscellaneous on the Balance Sheet. ADB

88

OCR-10

also records a liability for the expected credit losses over the contractual period in ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND OTHER LIABILITIES – Liability for credit losses on off-balance sheet exposure on the Balance Sheet.

ADB entered into an exposure exchange agreement (EEA) with another multilateral development bank (MDB). The EEA provides for the simultaneous exchange of credit risk coverage for potential non-accrual events on the exchanged sovereign exposures. In case of non-accrual events, the party providing protection would pay the other counterparty principal or interest for any period the covered exposure is in non-accrual. The EEA transaction is treated as an exchange of two separate financial guarantees (guarantee provided and guarantee received). Under the EEA, (i) ADB provides a guarantee for the sovereign exposures received from the counterpart MDB (ADB as a seller of protection), and (ii) ADB will receive a guarantee for the sovereign exposures transferred to the counterpart MDB (ADB as a buyer of protection).

Collateral

ADB requires collateral from individual swap counterparties in the form of approved liquid securities or cash to mitigate its credit exposure to these counterparties. ADB records the cash in OTHER ASSETS with a corresponding obligation to return the cash in ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND OTHER LIABILITIES. Collateral received in the form of liquid securities is disclosed in Note J and not recorded on OCR’s Balance Sheet.

Equity Investments — Operations

Investments in equity securities (except those accounted for under equity method) are reported at FV, with changes in FV reported in the Statement of Income and Expenses under NET UNREALIZED GAINS (LOSSES).

Realized gains and losses are reported in the Statement of Income and Expenses under NET REALIZED GAINS from equity investments – operation and are measured by the difference between cost and sales proceeds. Previously recognized unrealized gains and losses are reversed upon sale of investments.

ADB applies the equity method of accounting to investments where it has the ability to exercise significant influence such as in limited liability partnerships and certain limited liability companies that maintain a specific ownership account for each investor in accordance with ASC 323-30, “Partnerships, Joint Ventures, and Limited Liability Entities” and direct equity investment that fall under the purview of ASC 323, “Investments— Equity Method and Joint Ventures.”

Variable Interest Entities

ADB complies with ASC 810, “Consolidation.” ASC 810 requires an entity to consolidate and provide disclosures for any Variable Interest Entity (VIE) for which it is the primary beneficiary. An entity is subject to the ASC 810 VIE Subsections and is considered a VIE if it (i) lacks equity that is sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties; or (ii) if holders of the equity investment at risk lack decision-making rights about the entity’s activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; or (iii) do not have the obligation to absorb the expected losses or the right to receive the residual returns of the entity proportionally to their voting rights. ASC 810 defines the primary beneficiary as the entity that both has the (i) power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and the (ii) obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive residual returns of the entity. As of 31 December 2022 and 2021, ADB did not identify any VIE where ADB was the primary beneficiary, requiring consolidation in OCR financial statements.

ADB’s variable interests can arise from equity investments, loans, guarantees, and other contractual agreements that change with the changes in the FV of the VIE’s net assets exclusive of variable interests. ADB is required to disclose information about its involvement in VIEs where ADB holds significant variable interest (See Note T).

Other Debt Securities — Operations

Investments in other debt securities may be classified as HTM or AFS based on the intent and ability of ADB to hold these securities to maturity. HTM securities are reported at amortized cost while AFS are reported at FV.

Interest income on other debt securities is recognized as earned and reported, net of amortization of applicable premiums and discounts. In cases where front-end fees are collected, the fees are deferred and amortized over the life of the security after offsetting deferred direct origination costs.

Property, Furniture, and Equipment

Land is stated at cost and is not amortized. Buildings and improvements, and office furniture and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated over estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. Maintenance, repairs, and minor betterments are charged to expense.

Operating Leases

Right-of-use asset mainly pertains to lease of real properties such as offices, buildings and parking lots in field offices. ADB does not have any finance lease. Right-of-use asset is derived from the lease liability, which is the present value of future lease payments using the applicable discount rate, adjusted by prepaid rent and deferred rent. Operating lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis.

ADB determines whether a contract contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of identified property, furniture or equipment for a period of time in exchange for a consideration. ADB has included renewal options in determining the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the renewal option will be exercised. ADB uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate in determining the present value of future lease payments.

Borrowings

Borrowings provide funds for ADB’s operations. ADB diversifies its funding sources across markets, instruments, and maturities. In conjunction, ADB uses currency and interest rate swaps for asset and liability management.

ADB elected to record and report at FV all borrowings that are swapped or are intended to be swapped in the future and selected floating-rate borrowings. This election allows ADB to apply a consistent accounting treatment between borrowings and their related swaps. Changes in FV are reported in the Statement of Income and Expenses under NET UNREALIZED GAINS (LOSSES). ADB measures the portion of the FV change related to ADB’s own credit spread and presents the amount separately in Accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Remaining borrowings continue to be reported at amortized cost. Discounts, premiums and issuance costs associated with new borrowings are deferred and amortized over the period during which the borrowing is outstanding.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement” defines FV as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability at measurement date in an orderly transaction among willing participants with an assumption that the transaction takes place in the entity’s principal market, or in the absence of principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The most advantageous market is the market where the sale of the asset or transfer of liability would maximize the amount received for the asset or minimize the amount paid to transfer the liability. The FV measurement is not adjusted for transaction cost.

90

OCR-10

continued

Fair Value Hierarchy

ASC 820 establishes a FV hierarchy that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), next priority to observable market inputs or market corroborated data (Level 2), and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs without market corroborated data (Level 3).

The FVs of ADB’s financial assets and liabilities are categorized as follows:

Level 1: FVs are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2: FVs are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or markets that are not active; or valuation models for which significant inputs are obtained from market-based data that are observable.

Level 3: FVs are based on prices or valuation models for which significant inputs to the model are unobservable.

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires Management to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the end of the year and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. The actual results could differ from those estimates. Judgments have been used in the valuation of certain financial instruments, the determination of the adequacy of the accumulated provisions for losses on loans and other exposures (irrevocable commitments and guarantees), the determination of net periodic cost from pension and other postretirement benefits plans, and the present value of benefit obligations.

Accounting and Reporting Developments

In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2021-10, “Government Assistance (Topic 832)—Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance” , which requires disclosure by all business entities (except for not-for-profit [NFP] entities and employee benefit plans) that account for a transaction with a government by analogizing a grant or contribution accounting model of NFP entities. The amendment took effect for ADB on 1 January 2022 but did not have material impact on OCR’s financial statements.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326)— Troubled Debt Restructuring and Vintage Disclosures” . The amendment eliminates the accounting guidance for loan modifications considered as troubled debt restructurings in Subtopic 310-40, Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructuring by Creditors , and requires an entity to determine whether a loan modification represents a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan under the guidance provided in Subtopic 310-20, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs . The amendment also enhances existing disclosure requirements, introduces new requirements related to loan modifications for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty and requires disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financial receivables in the vintage disclosures. The update is effective for ADB on 1 January 2023. The adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on OCR’s financial statements.

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)—Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions” . The amendment clarifies what contractual sale restrictions of an equity security are inconsistent with the unit of account of the equity security, and, therefore, should not be considered in measuring the fair value. It also clarifies that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure certain contractual sale restrictions. The amendments also require certain disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sales restrictions. The update is effective for ADB on 1 January 2024. ADB is currently assessing the impact of the ASU on OCR’s financial statements.

91

OCR-10

continued

In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) —Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848,” with immediate effectivity to extend the optional relief provided in Topic 848 for eligible contracts and transactions affected by reference rate reform from 31 December 2022 to 31 December 2024. ADB has adopted the provisions of Topic 848, and as provided by the Update, will continue monitoring and assessing contract modifications for the use of the optional expedients and exceptions provided as we continue to amend the remaining nonsovereign LBLs and LIBOR-based swaps. ADB does not expect the adoption of this Update to have a significant impact on the financial statements.

Statement of Cash Flows

For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, ADB considers that its cash and cash equivalents are limited to (i) DUE FROM BANKS, which consist of current accounts in banks used for operational disbursements, receipt of funds from encashment of members’ promissory notes, and clearing accounts; (ii) swap related collateral, which are cash collateral received by ADB from swap counterparties to mitigate ADB’s credit exposure to these counterparties; and (iii) other collateral.

On the face of the cash flow statement, Swap related and other collateral are presented as a separate line item from DUE FROM BANKS as part of beginning and ending balances of total cash. The movements during the period in the swap related collateral account is classified as cash flow from financing activities and other collateral account is classified as cash flow from investing activities.

NOTE C—RESTRICTIONS ON USE OF CURRENCIES OF MEMBERS

In accordance with Article 24, paragraphs 2(i) and (ii) of the Charter, the use by ADB or by any recipient from ADB of certain currencies may be restricted by members to payments for goods or services produced and intended for use in their territories. As of 31 December 2022 and 2021, no member has restricted the use by ADB or by any recipient from ADB.

NOTE D—INVESTMENTS FOR LIQUIDITY PURPOSE

The main investment management objective is to maintain security and liquidity. Subject to these parameters, ADB seeks the highest possible return on its investments. Investments are governed by the Investment Authority approved by the Board of Directors.

ADB enters into currency and interest rate swaps, and forward rate agreements. Exposure to interest rate risk may be adjusted within defined bands to reflect changing market conditions. These adjustments are made through the purchase and sale of securities.

ADB may engage in securities lending of government or government-related obligations and corporate obligations, for which ADB receives a guarantee from the securities custodian and a fee. Transfers of securities by ADB to counterparties are not accounted for as sales as the accounting criteria for the treatment of a sale have not been met. These securities are available to meet ADB’s obligation to counterparties. Included in investments as of 31 December 2022 were securities transferred under securities lending arrangements of government or government-related obligations and corporate obligations totaling $118 million ($167 million – 2021).

ADB records time deposits on the settlement dates and all other investment securities on the trade date. As of 31 December 2022, there were $70 million unsettled sales ($40 million – 2021) included under OTHER ASSETS – Miscellaneous and $94 million unsettled purchases ($269 million – 2021) included under ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND OTHER LIABILITIES – Miscellaneous.

If available, active market quotes are used to assign fair values to investment securities and related financial assets. These include most government or government-related obligations and corporate obligations. Investments and related financial assets where active market quotes are not available are categorized as Level 2 or Level 3, and valuations are obtained from independent valuation services, custodians, and asset managers, and are based on discounted cash flow model using market observable inputs, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, basis spreads, cross currency rates, and volatilities, and unobservable inputs, such as option adjusted spreads, and other techniques. Time deposits are reported at cost, which approximates FV.

NOTE E—SECURITIES TRANSFERRED UNDER REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

ADB has entered into Global Master Repurchase Agreements (GMRA) in which ADB agrees to transfer securities under repurchase agreements. The agreements provide for the right of a party to terminate if any of the specified default and termination events occur and include provisions to offset the sum due from one party against the sum due from the other. All securities transferred under repurchase agreements are investment grade government or government-related securities. ADB monitors periodically the FV of securities transferred against the amount of cash received under the agreement and the counterparty credit exposure against approved limits. ADB only deals with counterparties that meet the required credit rating and have signed a GMRA or its equivalent.

NOTE F—LOANS — OPERATIONS

ADB offers sovereign and nonsovereign loans. Sovereign loans consist of regular loans and concessional loans.

ADB’s available loan products are the Flexible Loan Product (FLP) and the local currency loan (LCL) product. Starting 1 January 2022, the FLP is the primary loan product for sovereign regular OCR and nonsovereign operations which replaced the LBL product.

96

OCR-10

continued

ADB provides sovereign regular OCR borrowers of FLP loans with options to manage their interest rate and exchange rate risks, while providing low intermediation risk to ADB. Borrowers may request a conversion of all or any portion of the principal amount of the loan through: (i) currency conversion to an approved currency of all or any portion of the principal amount of the loan whether unwithdrawn or withdrawn and outstanding; (ii) an interest rate conversion of all or any portion of the principal amount of the loan withdrawn and outstanding; and (iii) establishment of an interest rate cap or an interest rate collar on a floating rate applicable to all or any portion of the principal amount of the loan withdrawn and outstanding.

Prior to 1 January 2022, LBL was the primary lending facility of sovereign regular loans. LBL offered borrowers (i) choice of currency and interest rate basis; (ii) flexibility to change the original loan terms (currency and interest rate basis) at any time during the life of the loan; and (iii) options to cap or collar the floating lending rate at any time during the life of the loan. LBL was offered in different currencies including US dollar, Japanese yen, euro, and New Zealand dollar. LBL was also offered to nonsovereign borrowers where ADB applied market-based pricing to determine the lending spread and other fees for each loan. The lending spread was intended to cover ADB’s risk exposure to specific borrowers and projects, while the front-end fee covers the administrative costs incurred during loan origination.

ADB offers LCLs to sovereign and nonsovereign borrowers in different local currencies which ADB can intermediate. ADB responds to the evolving financial needs of borrowers to reduce their currency mismatch in DMCs.

In addition to the FLP loans and LCLs, ADB offers sovereign concessional OCR loans to eligible DMCs. Concessional loans represent the concessional financing to DMCs with (i) per capita gross national income below the International Development Association (IDA) operational cut-off; (ii) least developed countries with per capita gross national income above the IDA operational cut-off; and (iii) per capita gross national income above the IDA operational cut-off with limited or lack of creditworthiness.

Summary statement of loans as of 31 December 2022 which include loans outstanding, undisbursed committed loans, and loans approved not yet committed are shown in OCR-6. The carrying amounts of loan outstanding by loan products as of 31 December 2022 and 2021 are as follows:

Fair Value Adjustment on Concessional Loans

On 1 January 2017, concessional loans from ADF were transferred to OCR at FV. The FV of the ADF loan was approximated by the nominal value of the loan outstanding amount adjusted for credit risk, which was measured by the expected loss of the ADF loan portfolio based on ADB credit risk management framework.

The FV adjustment of concessional loans transferred was $281 million. The FV adjustment is recognized as income over the life of the loans based on the maturity structure of the transferred loans and as the loan service payments are received. As of 31 December 2022, the unamortized balance of the FV adjustment on concessional loans was $186 million.

Credit Quality Information

ADB is exposed to credit risks in the loan portfolio if a borrower defaults or its creditworthiness deteriorates. Credit risks represent the potential loss due to possible nonperformance by borrowers under the terms of the contract. ADB manages credit risk for lending operations by monitoring creditworthiness of the borrowers and the capital adequacy framework.

ADB monitors credit quality of the loans by assigning a risk rating to each loan on an internal scale from 1 to 14 with 1 denoting the lowest expectation of credit risk and 14 denoting that the borrower has defaulted. The rating scale corresponds to the rating scales used by international rating agencies. For sovereign loans, ADB has a process of assigning internal ratings to provide more accurate inputs for risk measurements. For nonsovereign loans, each transaction is reviewed and assigned a rating based on a methodology that is broadly aligned with the rating approach of international rating agencies. The risk ratings are used to monitor the credit quality in the portfolio.

The amortized cost basis by origination year and internal risk rating for loans as of 31 December 2022 and 2021 is as follows:

ADB’s private sector programs include the Trade and Supply Chain Finance and Microfinance programs. For the year ended 31 December 2022, one private sector programs guarantee amounting to $17 million was converted to term loan (nil – 2021). The converted loan was fully repaid in 2022.

ADB’s internal risk ratings are reviewed at least annually for sovereign and nonsovereign exposures and may be revised based on the availability of new/updated information. ADB’s internal risk ratings are mapped into the corresponding PD for sovereign and nonsovereign borrowers based on ADB’s risk rating model.

As of 31 December 2022, ADB’s loan and guarantee portfolios had a significant concentration of credit risk to Asia and the Pacific region. The credit exposure determined based on FV amounted to $146,560 million ($141,154 million – 2021).

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses is estimated over the remaining contractual term (lifetime) of the loan and recorded at signing of the loan agreement. EAD for the outstanding principal balances over the remaining lifetime is estimated based on the contractual amortization schedule and projected prepayments considering historical experience. Estimating the lifetime expected loss is broken down into two periods: reasonable and supportable period which is based on reasonable forecasts of future credit quality; and the reversion and post-reversion period which is based on historical loss experience.

Credit quality and default probabilities are estimated to move in conjunction with the credit cycle as such, expected losses from default move in line with credit trends and current economic conditions. A reasonable and supportable period of three years is used, based on the availability of macroeconomic variables, while a reversion period of four years is used, based on the cyclical credit upturns and downturns of the economy.

Sovereign loans have credit risk that a sovereign borrower or guarantor will default on its loan or guarantee obligations. ADB’s sovereign regular OCR loan operations have experienced no loss of principal. Sovereign borrowers that previously had delayed payments eventually repaid and returned their loans to accrual status. Nonsovereign loans have credit risk that a borrower will default on loan or guarantee obligations for which ADB does not have recourse to a sovereign entity. While the balance of nonsovereign loans is smaller than the sovereign loans, the credit risks could be larger.

In estimating the PD, ADB considered past events such as historical default frequencies as reported by multilateral development banks and international rating agencies, current risk rating, and reasonable and

101

OCR-10

continued

supportable forecasts of macroeconomic factors such as nominal GDP, per capita GDP, budget balance, international reserves, and others. Sovereign PD is based on sovereign borrowers’ historical default data to multilateral development banks. Sovereign LGD is calculated based on non-accrual data from the historical default experiences. Nonsovereign PD and LGD are published by leading international rating agencies. PDs for sovereign loans, and PDs and LGDs for nonsovereign loans are updated annually.

For sovereign LGD, ADB has a different loss experience compared with commercial lenders in a sovereign default event as evidenced in its historical non-accrual events. Historically, the sovereign loans put under non-accrual status were eventually fully repaid and ADB has not written off any sovereign loans except for those under the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries Initiative (HIPC) launched by the IDA and IMF. However, ADB does not charge interest on overdue interest payments during the arrears period. Therefore, LGD for sovereign loans is calculated as the estimated time value of money loss from the expected delay in loan service payments.

When loans are considered impaired, they are individually reviewed and assessed to determine the expected credit losses using appropriate methods, including discounted cash flow method.

Rollforward of the Allowance for Credit Losses

The changes in the allowance for credit losses on loans outstanding for the years ended 31 December 2022 and 2021, are as follows:

a Represents write off of provision for HIPC debt relief to Afghanistan.

For the year ended 31 December 2021, one nonsovereign loan was considered as troubled debt restructuring and has been modified and restructured through deferral of interest and principal repayments. As of 31 December 2021, outstanding amount for the restructured loan is $54 million, net of $20 million allowance for credit losses, with no undisbursed commitments. There was no change in level of allowance for credit losses after the loan was restructured. For the year ended 31 December 2022, no loan modification or restructuring was considered as troubled debt restructuring.

Liability for Credit Losses

ADB recognizes expected credit losses for undisbursed loan commitments as these cannot be cancelled by ADB unconditionally. EAD for undisbursed commitments is estimated based on projected disbursements, prepayments, cancellations considering historical experience, and contractual amortization schedule. The credit losses are determined based on the same methodology that is used for loans. As of 31 December 2022, the amount of liability for credit losses on undisbursed loan commitments was $65 million ($58 million – 2021) and reported under ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND OTHER LIABILITIES – Liability for credit losses on off-balance sheet exposures in the Balance Sheet.

NOTE G—GUARANTEES — OPERATIONS

ADB provides project guarantees and guarantees under its private sector programs. While counterguarantees from the host government are required for all sovereign guarantees, guarantees for nonsovereign projects may be provided with or without a host government counter-guarantee. ADB also seeks risk-sharing arrangements that set ADB’s net exposure under a guarantee at the lowest level required to mobilize the necessary financing while maintaining a participation that is meaningful to its financing partners. A counterguarantee takes the form of a counter-guarantor’s agreement to indemnify ADB for any payment it makes

under the guarantee. In the event that a guarantee is called, ADB has the contractual right to require payment from the counter-guarantor, on demand, or as ADB may otherwise direct.

Tenors of guarantees are subject to risk considerations and market conditions. They should normally not exceed the maximum tenor of ADB’s ordinary capital resources lending operations, as may be adjusted from time to time, and there is no minimum tenor. In some cases however, guarantees may be for short tenors if the underlying obligations are short term, such as trade-related products.

The maximum potential exposure and outstanding amounts of these guarantee obligations as of 31 December 2022 and 2021 covered:

a Including exposure exchange agreement amounting to $2,500 million ($1,000 million – 2021).

The maximum potential exposure represents the undiscounted future payments that ADB could be required to make, inclusive of standby portion for which ADB is committed but not currently at risk. The outstanding amount represents the guaranteed amount utilized under the related loans, which have been disbursed and outstanding as of the end of the year, exclusive of the standby portion.

As of 31 December 2022 and 2021, one credit guarantee with nonsovereign counter-guarantee had collateral from a counter-guarantor.[1]

ADB entered into an EEA with another MDB which is recognized as financial guarantees in the financial statements. As of 31 December 2022, outstanding amount of guarantee provided under EEA amounted to $2.5 billion ($1 billion – 2021).

1 ADB provides two primary guarantee products – a credit guarantee and a political risk guarantee. ADB’s credit guarantee is designed as credit enhancements for eligible projects to cover risks that the project and its commercial cofinancing partners cannot easily absorb or manage on their own. ADB also provides political risk guarantees to cover specifically defined political risks such as expropriation, currency inconvertibility or non-transfer. Reducing these risks can make a significant difference in mobilizing private sector financing for projects.

As of 31 December 2022, a total liability of $167 million ($92 million – 2021) relating to standby ready obligations for eight credit risk guarantees (eight – 2021) and one political risk guarantees (two – 2021) is reported in ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND OTHER LIABILITIES – Miscellaneous on the Balance Sheet for all guarantees issued after 31 December 2002. Of this amount, $130 million ($51 million – 2021) pertains to EEA.

Credit Quality Information

For guarantees, each transaction is reviewed and assigned a rating based on the same methodology as the loans, that is broadly aligned with the rating approach of international rating agencies (See Note F). The risk ratings are used to monitor the credit quality of guarantees.

Liability for Credit Losses

ADB recorded a liability for estimated expected credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures over the contractual lifetime of guarantees. The credit losses are estimated based on the same methodology that is used for loans (See Note F). The liability for credit losses on off-balance sheet exposures for guarantees is reviewed quarterly, and the amount to adjust the liability is recorded in the Statement of Income and Expenses as Provision for credit losses.

As of 31 December 2022, a liability of $38 million ($94 million – 2021) for the expected credit losses from guarantees have been included in ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND OTHER LIABILITIES – Liability for credit losses on off-balance sheet exposures in the Balance Sheet.

Fair Value Disclosure

As of 31 December 2022 and 2021, all of ADB’s future guarantee receivables and guarantee liabilities are classified as Level 3 within the FV hierarchy.

Future guarantee receivables and guarantee liabilities are stated at discounted present value using significant unobservable inputs such as discount rates applicable to individual guarantee contracts that are internally determined and are classified under Level 3. An increase (decrease) in discount rates generally results in a decrease (increase) in the FV of the guarantees.

The valuation technique and significant unobservable quantitative input for guarantee receivables/ guarantee liabilities classified as Level 3 as of 31 December 2022 and 2021 are summarized below:

	Unobservable		Range (Average)a	Range (Average)a
Valuation Technique	Inputs		2022	2021
Discounted cash flows Discount rates			2.22% to 4.43% (2.61%) 2.22% to 4.43% (2.83%)

a Average represents the arithmetic average of the unobservable inputs.

The following table presents the changes in the carrying amounts of ADB’s Level 3 future guarantee receivable/liability for the years ended 31 December 2022 and 2021:

Fair Value Disclosure

ADB’s equity investments reported at FV as of 31 December 2022 were $398 million ($349 million – 2021). Equity investments with readily determinable market prices are valued using quoted prices in active markets and are classified as Level 1. Equity investments valued using inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable, such as prices of recent investments, are classified as Level 2. Equity investments valued with financial models using unobservable inputs are classified as Level 3.

EV/EBITDA = enterprise value/earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. WACC = weighted average cost of capital. a Unobservable inputs were weighted by the relative fair value of the instruments.

An increase (decrease) in the discount rate, independently, will decrease (increase) the FV of equity investments. Conversely, significant increase (decrease) in price-to-book multiples, price-to-earnings multiples and EV/Revenue will generally increase (decrease) the FV of the equity investments. The valuation technique used for one Level 2 and three Level 3 equity investments was changed in 2022 (one Level 2 and one Level 3 – 2021) to reflect a more relevant FV measurement.

Credit Quality Information

For HTM debt securities, each transaction is reviewed and assigned a rating based on the same methodology as the loans, that is broadly aligned with the rating approach of international rating agencies (See Note F). The risk ratings are used to monitor the credit quality of HTM debt securities.

The amortized cost basis by origination year and internal risk rating for HTM debt securities as of 31 December 2022 and 2021 is as follows:

($ million)

Internal risk ratings of HTM debt securities are updated annually and may be revised based on the availability of new/updated information. Internal risk ratings are mapped into the corresponding probability of default for issuers of HTM debt securities based on ADB’s risk rating model.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Expected credit loss is measured as the product of the EAD, the PD, and the LGD. EAD for HTM debt securities are based on amortized costs. Recognition and measurement of expected credit loss for HTM debt securities follows the same assumptions, procedure and timing as expected credit loss for loans (See Note F).

Rollforward of the Allowance for Credit Losses

The changes in the allowance for credit losses on outstanding other debt securities during the years ended 31 December 2022 and 2021 are as follows:

($ million)
	2022		2021
Balance, beginning of year	$ 12 (7) $ 5		$ 19 (7)

Balance, end of year			$ 12

Past Due Status and Non-Accrual Status

ADB places HTM debt securities in non-accrual status when the principal, interest, or other charges are overdue by more than 180 days or in case of securities that are not yet overdue by more than 180 days, when there is expectation that interest and other charges will not be collected when they become due, at the point when such information is known. Interest on non-accruing HTM debt securities is included in revenue only to the extent that payments have been received by ADB.

As of 31 December 2022 and 2021, there are no HTM debt securities that are past due or in non-accrual status.

Liability for Credit Losses

ADB recorded a liability for estimated expected credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures over the undisbursed portion of HTM debt securities. The credit losses are estimated based on the same methodology that is used for loans (See Note F). The liability for credit losses on off-balance sheet

NOTE J—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

ADB uses derivative instruments such as interest rate swaps, currency swaps, and foreign exchange swaps and forwards for asset and liability management of individual positions and portfolios. The FV of outstanding currency and interest rate swap agreements is determined at the estimated amount that ADB would receive or pay to terminate the agreements using market-based valuation models. The basis of valuation is the present value of expected cash flows based on market data.

Included in DERIVATIVE ASSETS/DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES – Borrowings are interest rate and currency swaps that ADB has entered into for the purpose of hedging specific borrowings. The terms of ADB’s interest rate swap, and currency swap agreements usually match the terms of particular borrowings. Included in DERIVATIVE ASSETS/DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES – Investments for liquidity purpose are interest rate, currency and foreign exchange swaps that ADB has entered into for the purpose of hedging specific investments. Included in DERIVATIVE ASSETS/DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES – Loans – Operations are interest rate and currency swaps that ADB has entered into for the purpose of hedging specific loans or a portfolio of loans. The loan related swaps were executed to better align the composition of certain outstanding loans with funding sources and future requirements.

Future dated derivatives as of 31 December 2022 amounted to $349 thousand for derivative assets ($44 million – 2021) and $411 thousand for derivative liabilities ($1 million – 2021).

ADB uses discounted cash flow models in determining FV of derivatives. Market inputs, such as yield curves, foreign exchange (FX) rates, cross currency basis spreads, yield basis spread, interest rates and FX volatilities and correlation are obtained from pricing services and brokers and applied to the models. ADB has a process to validate the appropriateness of the models and inputs in determining the hierarchy levels. This involves evaluating the nature of rates and spreads to determine if they are indicative and binding.

The valuation technique and quantitative information on significant unobservable inputs used in valuing ADB’s derivative instruments classified as Level 3 as of 31 December 2022 and 2021 are presented below:

Valuation	Unobservable	Range (Weighted Average)a	Range (Weighted Average)a
Technique	Inputs	2022	2021
Discounted	Basis	-0.32% to 15.67% (0.64%)	-1.14% to 6.33% (0.18%)
cash flows	swap spreads
aUnobservable inputs were weighted by the relative fair value of the instruments.

A significant increase (decrease) in the basis swap spread will generally decrease (increase) the FV of derivatives.

Counterparty Credit Risks

ADB undertakes derivative transactions with its eligible counterparties and transacts in various financial instruments as part of liquidity and asset/liability management purposes that may involve credit risks. For all investment securities and their derivatives, ADB manages credit risks by following the policies set forth in the Investment Authority and other risk management guidelines . ADB has a potential risk of loss if the derivative counterparty fails to perform its obligations. In order to reduce credit risk, ADB transacts with counterparties eligible under ADB’s swap guidelines which include a requirement that the counterparties have at least a credit rating of A– or higher and generally requires entering into master swap agreements which contain legally enforceable close-out netting provisions for all counterparties with outstanding swap transactions. The reduction in exposure as a result of these netting provisions can vary as additional transactions are entered into under these agreements. The extent of the reduction in exposure may therefore change substantially within a short period of time following the balance sheet date.

Counterparty credit risk is also mitigated by requiring counterparties to post collateral based on specified credit rating driven thresholds. As of 31 December 2022, ADB had received collateral of $304 million ($1,180 million – 2021) in connection with the swap agreements. Of this amount, $133 million ($643 million – 2021) is included under swap related and other collateral in the balance sheet.

ADB has entered into several agreements with its derivative counterparties under the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) Master Agreement and the Master Agreement of the National Association of Financial Market Institutional Investors. The agreements provide for the right of a party to terminate the derivative transaction if any of the various events of default and termination events specified occur. Events of default include failure to pay and cross default. Termination events include the situation where (i) the long term unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of ADB or the counterparty ceases to be rated at the minimum credit rating level negotiated with the relevant counterparty, or (ii) such indebtedness ceases to be rated by any international credit rating agencies. If ADB’s counterparties are entitled under the agreements to terminate their derivative transactions with ADB, ADB will be required to pay an amount equal to its net liability position with each counterparty (in the case of counterparties who have entered into the ISDA Master Agreement absent of local market constraints) and an amount equal to its gross liability position with each counterparty (in the case of counterparties without enforceable netting agreement). By end of 2022, the local market constraints in some of ADB’s derivative counterparties have been removed making all netting agreements enforceable. As of 31 December 2021, the aggregate FV of all derivative instruments that are in a net liability (negative marked-to-market) position was $741 million. Of which, $287 million are under the ISDA Master Agreement with local market constraints.

ADB has elected not to offset any derivative instruments by counterparty in the balance sheet. Gross amounts of DERIVATIVE ASSETS and DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES not offset in the balance sheet that are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements as of 31 December 2022 and 2021 are as follows: (See Note E for PAYABLE UNDER SECURITIES REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS.)

In 1991, under the terms of an agreement with the Philippines (Government), ADB returned the former headquarters (HQ) premises, which had been provided by the Government. In accordance with the agreement as supplemented by a memorandum of understanding, ADB was compensated $23 million for the return of these premises. The compensation is in lieu of being provided premises under the agreement and accordingly, is deferred and amortized over the estimated life of the current HQ building as a reduction of occupancy expense. HQ depreciation for the year ended 31 December 2022 amounted to $5 million ($5 million – 2021), net of amortization of the compensation for the former HQ building. As of 31 December 2022, the unamortized deferred compensation balance (included in ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND OTHER LIABILITIES – Miscellaneous) was $3 million ($3 million – 2021).

Right-of-use asset mainly pertains to lease of real properties such as offices, buildings and parking lots in field offices. As of 31 December 2022, lease liability amounted to $43 million and is recorded as part of Miscellaneous under ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND OTHER LIABILITIES ($48 million – 2021).

NOTE L—BORROWINGS

The key objective of ADB’s borrowing strategy is to raise funds at the most stable and lowest possible cost for the benefit of its borrowers. ADB uses financial derivative instruments in connection with its borrowing activities to increase cost efficiency, while achieving risk management objectives. Currency and interest rate swaps enable ADB to raise operationally needed currencies in a cost-efficient way and to maintain its borrowing presence in the major capital markets. Interest rate swaps are used to reduce interest rate mismatches arising from lending and liquidity operations.

The carrying amounts of ADB’s outstanding borrowings as of 31 December 2022 and 2021 are as follows:

($ million)
	2022		2021
At Amortized cost	$ 4,563 127,008		$ 3,090
At Fair value			130,981
Total	$ 131,571		$ 134,071

Fair Value Disclosure

Plain vanilla borrowings are valued using discounted cash flow methods with market-based observable inputs such as yield curves, foreign exchange rates, and credit spreads. On some borrowings, significant unobservable input is also used such as derived credit spread. Structured borrowings issued by ADB are valued using financial models that discount future cash flows and simulated expected cash flows. These involve the use of pay-off profiles within the realm of accepted market valuation models such as Hull-White and Black-Scholes. The model incorporates market observable inputs, such as yield curves, foreign exchange rates, credit spreads, interest rates and FX volatilities and correlation.

ADB reports borrowings that are swapped or are intended to be swapped in the future and selected floatingrate borrowings at FV. Changes in FV are reported in the Statement of Income and Expenses under NET UNREALIZED GAINS (LOSSES). ADB measures the portion of the FV change due to instrument-specific credit risk and presents the amount separately in Accumulated other comprehensive loss account.

NOTE M—CAPITAL STOCK AND MAINTENANCE OF VALUE OF CURRENCY HOLDINGS

Capital Stock

The authorized capital stock of ADB totaling 10,639,083 shares, was fully subscribed by members. Of the subscribed shares, 10,105,947 are “callable” and 533,136 are “paid-in”. The “callable” share capital is subject to call by ADB only as and when required to meet ADB’s obligations incurred on borrowings of funds for inclusion in its OCR or on guarantees chargeable to such resources. The “paid-in” share capital has been received, partly in convertible currencies and partly in the currency of the subscribing member which may be convertible. In accordance with Article 6, paragraph 3 of the Charter, ADB accepts nonnegotiable, noninterestbearing demand obligations in satisfaction of the portion payable in the currency of the member, provided such currency is not required by ADB for the conduct of its operations. Nonnegotiable, noninterest-bearing demand obligations received on demand amounted to $39 million ($66 million – 2021).

As of 31 December 2022, ADB’s shareholders consist of 68 members, 49 from the region and 19 from outside the region (OCR-8).

Maintenance of Value of Currency Holdings

Prior to 1 April 1978, the effective date of the Second Amendment to the IMF Articles, ADB implemented maintenance of value (MOV) in respect of holdings of member currencies in terms of 1966 dollars, in accordance with the provisions of Article 25 of the Charter and relevant policies approved by the Board of Directors. Since then, settlement of MOV has been put in abeyance.

In as much as the valuation of ADB’s capital stock and the basis of determining possible MOV obligations are still under consideration, notional amounts have been calculated provisionally in terms of the SDR as receivable from or payable to members in order to maintain the value of members’ currency holdings. The notional MOV amounts of receivables and payables are offset against one another and shown as net notional amounts required to maintain value of currency holdings in the EQUITY portion of the Balance Sheet. The carrying book value for such receivables and payables approximates its FV.

The net notional amounts as of 31 December 2022 consisted of (i) the net increase of $751 million ($946 million – 2021) in amounts required to maintain the value of currency holdings to the extent of matured and paid-in capital subscriptions due to the increase in the value of the SDR in relation to the US dollar during the period from 1 April 1978 to 31 December 2022 and (ii) the net increase of $731 million ($619 million – 2021) in the value of such currency holdings in relation to the US dollar during the same period. Receivable and payable to members are as follows:

NOTE Q—STAFF PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT MEDICAL BENEFITS

Staff Retirement Plan

ADB has a defined pension benefit plan called the SRP. Every employee, as defined under the SRP, shall, as a condition of service, become a participant from the first day of service, provided the employee has not reached the normal retirement age at that time, which is 60 for staff on board before 1 October 2017; 62 for staff who joined on or after 1 October 2017 but before 1 October 2021; and 65 for staff who joined on or after 1 October 2021. The plan applies also to members of the Board of Directors who elect to join. Retirement benefits are based on an annual accrual rate, length of service and the highest average remuneration observed over 2 consecutive years during eligible service for staff on board before 1 October 2017. For staff hired on or after 1 October 2017, the salary basis for a pension is the highest average three years remuneration, capped at $109,306 as of 31 December 2022 ($106,329 – 2021) adjusted each year in line with the structural increase in US dollar salary scales of International Staff based at headquarters. The plan assets are segregated in a separate fund. The costs of administering the plan are absorbed by ADB, except for fees paid to the investment managers and related charges, including custodian fees, which are borne by the SRP.

Participants hired prior to 1 October 2006 are required to contribute 9 1/3% of their salary to the plan while those hired on or after 1 October 2006 are not required to contribute. The annual pension accrual rate is 2.95% for staff hired prior to 1 October 2006 and 1.5% for those hired on or after 1 October 2006. ADB’s contribution is determined at a rate sufficient to cover that part of the costs of the SRP not covered by the participants’ contributions.

Participants hired before 1 October 2017 may make Discretionary Benefit (XB) contributions. Such contributions earn a prescribed interest crediting rate and benefits are payable to the Participants who reach retirement age or upon termination of employment.

In October 2017, ADB introduced a DC Plan. Participants hired on or after 1 October 2017 may contribute up to 40% of salary into the DC Plan. ADB will make additional contributions to a participant’s DC account equal to 20% of the participant’s salary above the predefined threshold. ADB will match participant’s contributions at a ratio of $1 to each $8 (1:8), capped at 12% of salary. For the year ended 31 December 2022, ADB contributed $7 million to the DC Plan ($4 million – 2021).

Expected Contributions

ADB’s contribution to the SRP varies from year to year, as determined by the Pension Committee, which bases its judgment on the results of annual actuarial valuations of the assets and liabilities of the plan. ADB is expected to contribute $81 million for 2023 based on a budgeted contribution of 27% of salary.

ADB’s staff members are expected to contribute $33 million representing participants’ mandatory contribution of $6 million and discretionary contributions of $27 million.

Investment Strategy

Contributions in excess of current benefits payments are invested in international financial markets and in a variety of investment vehicles. The SRP employs eleven external asset managers and one global custodian who are required to operate within the guidelines established by the SRP’s Investment Committee. The investment of these assets, over the long term, is expected to produce returns higher than short-term investments. The investment policy incorporates the plan’s package of desired investment return and tolerance for risk, taking into account the nature and duration of its liabilities. The SRP’s assets are diversified among different markets and different asset classes. The use of derivatives for speculation,

leverage or taking risks is avoided. Selected derivatives are used for hedging and transactional efficiency purposes.

The SRP’s investment policy is periodically reviewed and revised. The SRP's long-term target asset-mix implemented in 2022 is 30% US equity, 30% non-US equity, 20% liability-hedging asset, 10% global high yield, and 10% diversified asset.

For the year ended 31 December 2022, the net return on the SRP assets was -15.44% (13.36% – 2021). ADB expects the long-term rate of return on the assets to be 6.25% (5.75% – 2021).

Assumptions

The assumed overall rate of return takes into account long-term return expectations of the underlying asset classes within the investment portfolio mix, and the expected duration of the SRP’s liabilities. Return expectations are forward looking and, in general, not much weight is given to short-term experience. Unless there is a drastic change in investment policy or market environment, as well as in the liability/benefit policy side, the assumed average long-term investment return on the SRP’s assets is expected to remain on average broadly the same, year to year. The discount rate used in determining the benefit obligation is selected in reference to the rates of return on high-quality bonds.

Post-Retirement Group Medical Insurance Plan

ADB adopts a cost-sharing arrangement for the Post-Retirement Group Medical Insurance Plan (PRGMIP). Under this plan, ADB is obligated to pay 75% of the PRGMIP premiums for retirees, which includes retired members of the Board of Directors, and their eligible dependents who elected to participate.

The RMPF holds the assets in trust that will fund the accumulated obligations of the PRGMIP. The income of RMPF consists of ADB’s contributions and investment earnings; it does not have any component attributable to participants’ share of PRGMIP costs. The insurance premium paid by ADB for the PRGMIP is considered ADB’s contribution to the fund. The costs of administering the RMPF are absorbed by ADB, while investment management and custodian fees are paid from the RMPF.

The SRP Pension Committee is responsible for the overall financial management of the RMPF and is assisted by the SRP Investment Committee.

Expected Contribution

ADB’s expected contribution to the RMPF is based on the recommendation of the SRP Pension Committee. For 2023, ADB is expected to contribute $6 million.

Investment Strategy

The RMPF employs three external asset managers and one global custodian who are required to operate within the guidelines established by the SRP’s Investment Committee. The investment of these assets, over the long term, is expected to produce returns higher than short-term investments. Similar to SRP, the investment policy incorporates the RMPF’s package of desired investment return and tolerance for risk, taking into account the nature and duration of its liabilities. The RMPF’s assets are diversified among different markets and asset classes. The use of derivatives for speculation, leverage or taking risks is avoided. Selected derivatives are used for hedging and transactional efficiency purposes.

The RMPF’s long-term target asset-mix implemented in 2022 and 2021 is 40% US equity, 30% non-US equity, and 30% global fixed income. For the year ended 31 December 2022, the net return on the RMPF assets was -16.48% (14.26% – 2021).

The accumulated benefit obligation of the pension plan as of 31 December 2022 was $3,923 million ($5,543 million – 2021). The actuarial gain of $1,946 million for pension benefit obligation was mainly due to the change in discount rates and $290 million actuarial gain for postretirement medical benefit obligation was mainly due to the change in discount rates and lower claim costs assumption.

For measurement purposes, a 6.5% annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered postretirement medical benefits was assumed for the valuation as of 31 December 2022 (6.5% – 2021). The rate was assumed to decrease gradually to 5% by 2028 and remain at that level thereafter.

The following table summarizes the benefit costs associated with pension and postretirement medical benefits for the year ended 31 December 2022 and 2021:

($ million)

NOTE S—SPECIAL AND OTHER FUNDS

ADB’s operations include special operations, which are financed from Special Funds resources. The OCR and Special Funds resources are at all times used, committed, and invested entirely separately from each other. The Board of Governors may approve allocation of the net income of OCR to Special Funds, based on the funding and operational requirements of the funds. The administrative and operational expenses pertaining to the OCR and Special Funds are charged to the respective Special Funds. The administrative expenses of ADB are allocated amongst OCR and Special Funds and are settled regularly.

In addition, ADB, alone or jointly with donors, administers on behalf of the donors, including members of ADB, their agencies and other development institutions, projects/programs supplementing ADB’s operations. Such projects/programs are funded with external funds administered by ADB and with external funds not under ADB’s administration (referred as trust funds). ADB charges administrative fees for external funds administered by ADB. The trust funds are restricted for specific uses including technical assistance to borrowers and for regional programs, grants for projects, and loans. The responsibilities of ADB under these arrangements range from project processing to project implementation including the facilitation of procurement of goods and services. These funds are held in trust by ADB and are held in a separate investment portfolio. The assets of trust funds are not commingled with ADB’s resources, nor are they included in the assets of ADB.

Special Funds and trust funds are not included in the assets of OCR. The net assets as of 31 December 2022 and 2021 are summarized below:

NOTE T—VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

ADB has identified investments in 40 (39 – 2021) VIEs which are not consolidated by ADB but in which it is deemed to hold significant variable interests at 31 December 2022. These non-consolidated VIEs are mainly (i) operating entities where the total equity invested is considered insufficient to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support and (ii) private equity funds, where the equity at risk holders lack decision making rights. These VIEs are in the finance, energy, and transport sectors.

ADB’s involvement in these non-consolidated VIEs includes loans, guarantees, and equity investments. Based on the most recent available data from these VIEs at 31 December 2022, the assets of these nonconsolidated VIEs totaled $6,086 million ($5,659 million – 2021).
