Asian Development Bank to Provide $2 Billion Annually to Pakistan for Next Three Years – Startup Pakistan

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has announced that it will provide Pakistan with $2 billion in financial support each year for the next three years. This commitment was revealed by ADB President Masatsugu Asakawa during a meeting with President Asif Ali Zardari.

In the meeting, President Zardari stressed the importance of increased assistance to help Pakistan deal with the growing challenges of climate change.

Zardari highlighted how the severe floods of 2022 had a devastating impact on Pakistan, causing major damage to the country’s economy, agriculture, education system, and infrastructure. He emphasized that the floods left a lasting effect, making it even more important for Pakistan to receive continued support from international organizations like the ADB.

Also present at the meeting were Senators Sherry Rehman and Saleem Mandviwalla. The discussion focused not only on the economic difficulties Pakistan is facing, but also on the damage caused by ongoing issues, including the war on terror.

The nation, already struggling with high inflation, is dealing with significant financial challenges, making the ADB’s support even more crucial for its recovery and development.

This financial assistance from the ADB will play a key role in helping Pakistan rebuild and strengthen its economy while addressing the long-term impacts of climate change and security challenges.
