DHAKA, April 23, 2026 (BSS)- Asian Development Bank (ADB) committed $29.3 billion from its own resources in 2025 while advancing key institutional reforms to help Asia and the Pacific navigate change and turn challenges into opportunities.  ADB’s Annual Report 2025, published today summarizes the bank’s operational, institutional, and financial highlights in 2025, a year marked by complexity and uncertainty. “In 2025, ADB delivered unprecedented levels of support, with a 20 percent increase over 2024 and expected impacts of more than 3.3 million jobs and benefit to over 180 million people,” said ADB President Masato Kanda.  “This shows ADB’s ability to deliver at a scale and with the speed that matches the demands of Asia and the Pacific,” he said. Loans, grants, equity investments, guarantees, and technical assistance provided to governments and the private sector increased by 20% year-on-year to $29.3 billion. This was boosted by an additional $14.7 billion from partners, said an ADB press release. Private sector development was a key priority for ADB in 2025 comprising $5.5 billion of its commitments, while half of its public sector commitments directly supported infrastructure, reforms, and institutions to unlock private investments.  ADB committed $8.3 billion in Central West Asia, $1.4 billion in East Asia, $680 million in the Pacific, $9.7 billion in South Asia, and $9 billion in Southeast Asia, with $302 million allocated to regional projects. Finance, transport, and public sector management were the top three sectors to receive funding. ADB approved groundbreaking institutional reforms in 2025 to deliver high-quality and well-targeted support to developing member countries, the release said.  The reform include an amendment to the ADB Charter to remove the bank’s lending limitation and enable a 50 percent increase in financing capacity without requiring a general capital increase from shareholders, it said. Under the reform measures ADB’s energy policy has been updated to better support energy access and security in developing member countries. ADB also streamlined procurement procedures to strengthen ADB’s commitment to quality, sustainability, and value for money. Besides, a new approach has been adopted under the reform initiative to support critical minerals-to-manufacturing value chains, responsibly and sustainably capitalize on the demand for materials essential for renewable energy and digital technologies.

Fake photo card on state minister for power Amit circulated, GD filed

DHAKA, April 20, 2026 (BSS) – A fake photo card was circulated naming state minister for power, energy and mineral resources Anindya Islam Amit, according to a ministry official. State minister's private secretary (deputy secretary) Md Shahidul Islam filed a General Dairy (GD) with Ramna Model Police Station yesterday about spreading misinformation on Facebook in the name of Amit. “False information is being spread intentionally to tarnish image of the state minister and success of the country's energy sector,” according to the GD. It demanded that the miscreants involved in the propaganda be identified and brought to justice as soon as possible. The GD said that a fake 'photocard' using the state minister's photo is being shared from a Facebook group called 'Gen Z (FS Gaming)'. The photo card quoted Amit saying that he visited at least 10 pumps last night, and there was no crowd or fuel shortage anywhere, it said. However, the GD said that the state minister did not visit any petrol pump last night and did not make any such statement anywhere.  It said actually, he has been working relentlessly to deal with the impact of the global energy crisis.  “Amit returned to Dhaka yesterday afternoon after inspecting various power and energy infrastructures in Chattogram and Matarbari,” the GD mentioned.
