ADF-OCR MERGERto Boost Support for Region’s Poor

ADB’s Board of Governors recently approved a groundbreaking initiative to combine the lending operations of the bank’s Asian Development Fund (ADF) with its ordinary capital resources (OCR) balance sheet.

The merger will become effective on January 1, 2017.

The merger will boost ADB’s total annual lending and grant approvals to as high as $20 billion— 50% more than the current level. ADB assistance to poor countries will rise by up to 70%.

The merger will further strengthen ADB’s creditworthiness and is perceived favorably by rating agencies:

1. Strengthen ADB’s business profile (franchise value, etc.)

2. Enhance financial profile (almost triple OCR equity base)

3. Provide further diversification of OCR loan portfolio.

Agency Rating

FitchRatings AAA

Moody’s Aaa

Standard & Poor’s AAA

ADB as a BorrowerADB is a leading AAA borrower in international and domestic capital markets, having issued bonds across various markets in 32currencies.

Borrowings finance Ordinary Capital Resources (OCR) operations. OCR loans are generally made to developing members that have attained a higher level of economic development.

ADB’s debt securities carry the highest possible investment ratings from major international credit rating agencies.

17

AAA Rating based on Strong Fundamentals

“We base our ratings on AsDB on our assessment of its extremely strong business profile and very strong financial profile. We consider the unwavering public policy mandate and the preferred creditor treatment for the bank as key strengths. We expect the AsDB to maintain its healthy liquidity position, strong funding presence, and high capitalization level.”– Standard and Poor’s, July 2016

“The Asian Development Bank's (ADB) Aaa long-term issuer and debt ratings are supported by the bank's strong capital adequacy, ample liquidity buffers, and preferred creditor status. Strong shareholder support further enhances the ADB's robust financial performance. The bank’s credit strengths, that have remained intact through recent periods of global and regional economic stress, have also been backed by prudent financial management.” – Moody’s, July 2016

“Due to its preferred creditor status, AsDB enjoys extremely low levels of loan impairments. The average rating of loans is BBB- as of FY-2014, which compares favourably to AAA-peers, and reflects the excellent performance of its loan book (no impairment on its sovereign portfolio). ” – FitchRatings, July 2015

ADB doubles up in green Asian Development Bank mandated for a dual tranche global green bond in dollars on Monday, with the longer tranche likely to gain support from investors in Japan, said bankers

By Craig McGlashan 08 Aug 2016

ADB raises $74 million via 5-year rupee-linked offshore bonds By Deepshikha Sikarwar , ET Bureau | Jul 28, 2016, 10.34 AM IST The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has raised about $74million via 5-year Indian rupee linked offshore bonds. This is ADB's third bond issue in the offshore INR-linked market, and the second INR issue this year. "The strength of the Indian economy has led to increasing demand from international investors for Indian rupee-linked bonds," said ADB Treasurer Pierre van Peteghem. "Today's transaction, with the longest maturity and the largest size of any previous ADB rupee bonds, demonstrates the underlying investor interest in India and ADB's commitment to help develop the country's capital markets," he said. Proceeds from the bonds will be mobilized to support private sector lending in the Indian market. India is ADB's fourth largest shareholder and is its largest borrower, excluding co-financing. In 2015, ADB approved $836 million in private sector projects in India, its largest market. The bonds, which are denominated in Indian rupees but settled in US dollars, carry a coupon of 6.45% and mature on 8 August 2021. The bond was underwritten by Citibank and JP Morgan. 31% of the bonds were placed in Asia and 69% in Europe, Middle East, and Africa. By investor type, 70% of the bonds were placed with banks, and 30% with fund managers.

ADB in the News ADB sells $3bn bond in US market By: Emma Rumney 9 Mar 16 The Asian Development Bank has re-entered the US dollar bond market with the sale of a $3bn, five-year global benchmark bond. The bank, which aims to raise a total of $20bn from capital markets this year, said the proceeds of the bond will become part of its ordinary capital resources and used in its non-concessional operations. “This is another stellar outcome for the ADB against a challenging backdrop that has prevailed since the beginning of 2016,” said ADB treasurer Pierre Van Peteghem. “Strong demand for the transaction allowed us to size a $3bn new issue in line with our strategy of providing the market with liquid benchmark bonds across the curve.” Van Peteghem added that the bank is pleased by the geographically diverse investor participation, with 46% of bonds placed in Asia, 29% in Europe, the Middle East and Africa and 25% in the Americas. He said this is “testament to the institution’s robust credit fundamentals and loyal global following in the capital markets”. The majority (58%) of bonds went to central banks and official institutions, with banks taking a further 29% and the remaining 13% brought by fund managers and other types of investors. The five-year bond has a coupon rate of 1.625% payable semi-annually and a maturity date of 16 March 2021.

ADB adds to dual tranche dollar trend as OeKB aims for threes

The Asian Development Bank and Oesterreichische Kontrollbank hit screens with dollar deals on Monday, with ADB adding more supply to a burst of dual tranche trades the included deals last week by the World Bank and the Japan Bank for International Cooperation.

By: Ben Jaglom 18 April 2016 ADB mandated leads Bank of America Merrill Lynchh, BNP Paribas, Goldman Sachs and Mizuho for a dual tranche global deal at two and 10 years. Initial price thoughts of 8bp area over mid-swaps were circulated for the two year bond and 42bp area over swaps for the 10 year. The decisions to opt for a dual tranche follows last week’s deals by the World Bank and JBIC in dual tranche formats. World Bank printed at two and seven years on 12 April while JBIC went for a deal at 5 and 10 years the same day. “There are a number of reasons why so many issuers are opting for dual tranche deals,” said a head of SSA syndicate on the deal. “There is a window of opportunity that issuers are spotting in the market after the dismal start to the year we had and the global decline in equity prices. Doing a dual tranche enables issuers to minimize their execution risk while also limiting the number of times they have to come to the market.” A head of SSA syndicate on the deal said that funding conditions were likely to stay strong in April . “We began April with a great deal of supply and we felt that this would be a great moment to get in early while investors remained in key spirits,” he said.

APPENDIX 2: HIGHLIGHTS OF LOAN OPERATIONS

PROJECT SUMMARY: The program will help Bangladesh continue capital market reforms which should boost private investment and support the country’s drive to achieve middle-income status by 2021. The third program will strengthen the Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission and support the establishment of a clearing and settlement company. It will also support new areas such as strengthening the Insurance Development and Regulatory Authority to promote the insurance industry’s growth and stability, and encourage insurers to use the capital markets more. To improve enforcement and to boost accounting and auditing standards, a special tribunal for capital market-related cases will be put into operation and a financial reporting council with an independent audit oversight function will be established, resulting in the adoption of international accounting standards which will enhance market confidence and encourage investment. To increase the supply of high quality bonds and other market instruments, policy actions will be taken to remove the 60:40 debt-to-equity ratio ceiling that companies must adhere to, to cut the initial public offering lock-in period for private equity investors, and to draw up rules to promote Islamic finance, including sukuk. The program will also spur a more liquid bond market with pilot sales of floating-rate government bonds and by allowing primary dealers to short sell government securities. Meanwhile, rule changes on taxes and exchange-traded funds will seek to promote a more robust mutual fund industry.

PROJECT SUMMARY:

Roads are the dominant form of transport in the Jharkhand state, but about 40% of the main network is in poor condition, hampering mobility and opportunities between remote areas and industrial and economic centers. Jharkhand has an estimated 40% of India’s mineral resources, but it is also one of the poorest states, with over a third of its 33 million people living below the state poverty line. Jharkhand has set out a $2.5 billion investment plan to improve over 6,000 km of roads in 2012-2017, and ADB supported the state’s goals with an initial loan for road improvements in 2009. The new assistance will continue the ongoing physical upgrades, as well as building up the capacity of the State Highways Authority of Jharkhand to design, plan, and maintain roads, and adopt a road safety master plan. The state’s road accident rate is sharply higher than the national average. A number of safety and environmentally friendly features are included in the project design, including over 60 bus stop shelters; 50 km of raised sidewalks in urban areas; 4 km of dedicated bicycle lanes; and solar-powered street lights. The project will also generate employment opportunities for residents in five districts, including for women, who will get a guaranteed share of a least 20% of jobs for afforestation work alongside the upgraded roads.

PROJECT SUMMARY:

Coal has been the predominant fuel for heating in Hohhot, capital of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (IMAR) of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Adequate heating is a basic human need and essential for socioeconomic activities in IMAR, an area that experiences subzero temperatures for typically half of the year, causing indoor and outdoor air pollution and affecting human health. The project will reduce respiratory diseases in the local population by designing a hybrid district heating system using low-emission natural gas boilers and zero-emission wind-based boilers, as well as pioneering a new business model for wind-powered district heating sharing renewable energy subsidies.

After completion, the project will emit 60% less carbon dioxide and 82% less nitrous oxide, 98% less sulfur dioxide, and produce negligible particulate matter compared to the existing heating system.

About 294,500 households or 30% of the city’s population will directly benefit, along with 18 schools, 35 kindergartens, and 12 hospitals.

PROJECT SUMMARY:

The Mahaweli Water Security Investment Program will assist the Government of Sri Lanka complete outstanding water conveyance investments under the Mahaweli Development Program. Completion of the program is a key priority of the government and will maximize the productivity of Mahaweli River Basin water resources by transferring available water to the northern dry zone areas of Sri Lanka for irrigation, drinking, and commercial purposes. This will accelerate local and national economic growth.

Sri Lanka has abundant water resources but with uneven water distribution. Local communities have addressed the water stress by constructing many small cascade systems of reservoirs, transfer canals, and irrigation schemes, but these merely provide supplementary irrigation to single paddy crop each year. The storage is not even sufficient for drinking water supply.

The outputs of the program will be (i) new and improved water conveyance and storage infrastructure constructed, (ii) systems for improving water resource management and developed productivity, and (iii) operational multidisciplinary investment program management.

LLending Limitation: Under the policy, the total amount of disbursed loans, disbursed equity investments, and the related prudential buffer, and the maximum amount that could be demanded from ADB under its guarantee portfolio may not exceed the total of ADB’s unimpaired subscribed capital, reserves, and surplus, exclusive of the special reserve. Borrowing limitation: ADB’s borrowing policy limits ADB’s gross outstanding borrowings to no more than the sum of callable capital of non-borrowing members, paid-in capital, and reserves (including surplus).

Risk Bearing Capacity: ADB annually assesses its capital adequacy using a stress test methodology that entails, among other things, estimated non-accrual shocks and their impact on ADB's capital and income over the next 10 years. The framework provides ADB with the ability to assess its capital adequacy based on changing portfolio risk profiles as well as on ADB's characteristics as an MDB, including callable capital structure, preferred creditor status, and developmental mandate.

Conservative Investment Guidelines: The maximum allowable average duration of all investments outstanding is 4 years. ADB’s investment guidelines permit only high quality instruments such as government and government-agency debt and highly-rated corporate securities. Further, the Office of Risk Management monitors the investment portfolio on a daily basis and ensures compliance with prescribed limits.

Approved on 20 July 2009, the new Safeguard Policy Statement reaffirms and strengthens ADB’s commitment to ensuring that borrowers/clients meet ADB safeguard requirements to avoid, minimize, mitigate and/or compensate adverse impacts of ADB operations on the environment and project-affected people.

The policy commits ADB to assessing country safeguard systems, assisting borrowers/clients to strengthen both their approaches and country capacity to manage environmental and social risks, and to increasing ADB oversight during implementation.

As a central part of ADB's mission to promote environmentally sustainable and inclusive economic growth, the new Safeguard Policy Statement consolidates and builds upon current ADB policies on Environment, Indigenous Peoples and Involuntary Resettlement that are already applied to all bank-supported projects in developing member countries (DMCs).

The policy ensures that ADB’s safeguards are harmonized with other multilateral development banks and remain relevant to the evolving needs of DMCs and private sector clients.

The policy contains new provisions on biodiversity conservation, community health and safety, and physical cultural resources. Key features include emphasis on capacity development of borrowers and more attention to safeguard implementation and supervision.

The Safeguard Policy Statement became effective on 20 January 2010.

Developing good governance and fighting corruption are core ADB strategic objectives and are crucial to effective, transparent and accountable aid, to which ADB committed by endorsing the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness.

ADB’s Office of Anticorruption and Integrity (OAI), an independent body since October 2009, is the initial point of contact for allegations of integrity violations involving ADB-related activities or ADB staff. Its mission is to ensure ADB and its partners maintain the highest ethical and professional standards, and prevent resources intended to improve the lives of the poor from being used to line the pockets of the unscrupulous.

Any party found to have committed fraudulent, corrupt, coercive, collusive, obstructive practices, or other integrity violations identified by ADB risks being sanctioned with debarment. Debarred entities are ineligible to participate in ADB-financed, administered or supported activities. A debarred firm’s ineligibility extends to all employees and officers of a firm, and may extend to other principals and contractual employees of the firm. Debarred individuals may not participate in ADB-related activity, as individuals or through nomination by an eligible firm, unless they have completely disassociated themselves with an ineligible firm.

Following the Harmonized Framework adopted by MDBs in 2006, the Agreement on Cross-Debarment was signed by ADB, the World Bank Group, the African Development Bank (AfDB), the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) in Luxembourg on 9 April 2010. An important global milestone in the fight against corruption, this Agreement allows that an entity debarred by one of the participating MDBs be subsequently cross-debarred by the other participating MDBs, and constitutes an important step in strengthening global anticorruption efforts.

The base sanction for integrity violations is 3-year debarment. The Integrity Oversight Committee (IOC) may impose a greater or lesser debarment period depending on the circumstances of each case. The IOC will be guided by the following ranges: 1) First debarments (including cases where a party has previously been given a reprimand) – 1 year to indefinite for individuals and 1 to 7 years for firms, 2) Second debarments – up to indefinite for individuals and up to 10 years for firms, 3) Subsequent debarments – up to indefinite for individuals and up to 20 years for firms.

In accordance with ADB’s Anticorruption Policy, ADB’s zero tolerance to corruption is linked to broader support for governance and improvement in the quality and capacities of developing member countries (DMCs), with fraud and corruption detection training given to government agencies in several of these DMCs.

ADB also organizes knowledge support activities to improve integrity awareness and skills. Since 2010 it is mandatory for all ADB staff to be briefed on the importance of fighting corruption and adherence to ADB’s Anticorruption Policy.

The Investment Climate Facilitation Fund (ICFF) was established by the Government of Japan (GOJ) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in 2008 as a trust fund under the Regional Cooperation and Integration Financing Partnership Facility (RCIFPF) of ADB.

The objective of ICFF is to promote investments in ADB’s developing member countries (DMCs) and facilitate regional cooperation and integration (RCI) through the construction of basic infrastructure, improvements in the investment climate, capacity building, and promotion of good governance, among others.

Activities to be supported by ICFF are projects that: a. require collective efforts and actions of two or more countries to jointly respond to cross-border issues; b. are national in nature, but with significant regional dimensions and/or implications; c. facilitate regional policy dialogue, including the establishment of regional policies for greater RCI; d. support research and promote knowledge generation and dissemination among DMCs in the area of

RCI; e. strengthen institutional capacity of regional and/or subregional groupings; or f. support regional partnership building with international institutions.

All ADB DMCs are eligible for support from ICFF. Funding priority will be given to projects that promote financial sector development and regional investment. Likewise, projects which will promote the visibility of ICFF as well as those which will be implemented in cooperation with Japanese aid agencies will be prioritized.

ADB has been appointed by GOJ as the administrator of ICFF.

Project implementation, supervision, and monitoring are conducted by the concerned departments and offices following ADB’s standard policies, procedures, and guidelines, including consulting services and procurement, social and environmental safeguards, financial management and reporting, and anticorruption and governance, as amended from time to time.

Total funds committed amounted to approximately $31.5 million as of 31 March 2016.
