Climate Change Financing at ADB
ADB has placed combating climate change and its consequences at the top of its development agenda. The bank is therefore scaling up support to address climate change, disaster risks, and environmental degradation, elevating its ambition to provide $100 billion in cumulative climate financing from its own resources to its developing member countries for the period 2019-2030.

Economic Forecasts for Asia and the Pacific: September 2025
Developing Asia’s growth forecasts are trimmed to 4.8% in 2025 and 4.5% in 2026, down by 0.1 and 0.2 percentage points from April. The revisions reflect offsetting factors. The updated trade agreements and tariffs led to a broad shift toward higher US tariffs, which will weigh on the region’s exports and growth. However, fiscal and monetary policy responses are expected to cushion the impact. Inflation in developing Asia is projected to ease further in 2025, driven by lower energy and food prices, before edging up in 2026. The region’s 2025 inflation forecast is revised down to 1.7%, from 2.3% in April. For 2026, inflation is expected to edge higher to 2.1%, albeit marginally slower than April’s forecast of 2.2%, partly due to normalization of food prices.
Trade agreements have eased tensions, but unresolved US–People's Republic of China (PRC) negotiations and elevated uncertainty keep risks elevated. Major trading partners, including several developing Asian economies, agreed to new trade deals with the US before the 1 August deadline. This has reduced but not removed global trade risks. Other risks include geopolitical tensions, further deterioration in the PRC’s property market, and possible financial market volatility.
Economic and Social Statistics: Asia and the Pacific
ADB acknowledges the need for reliable, timely, granular, and integrated data, as well as innovative ways to produce them, to guide economic and social development to ensure that nobody is left behind. To aid in evidence-based policymaking, ADB produces key knowledge resources and partners with statistics agencies in Asia and the Pacific to improve the region's capability to produce effective statistics.

Financing Infrastructure
Hefty infrastructure needs of $26 trillion from 2016-2030 means Asia and the Pacific needs to find new ways to attract investment. These could include more private financing, infrastructure bonds, or capturing the value of higher land prices.
