Who We Are
Our mission is Financing Infrastructure for Tomorrow (i4t). We aim for a prosperous Asia based on sustainable economic development and regional cooperation. By unlocking new capital and technologies, we enable our clients to build sustainable infrastructure rooted in innovation, connectivity, and cooperation. As our clients succeed, society shares in that prosperity.
As a multilateral development bank focused on developing Asia, and with members from all over the world, our investments in infrastructure and other productive sectors seek to foster sustainable economic development, create wealth, and improve infrastructure connectivity. We adapt and innovate constantly to deliver customized investment solutions that overcome the challenges our clients face. They count on our resilience to help them meet their objectives even during challenging times.
Prosperity and economic development for Asia is our goal. To realize this, we facilitate infrastructure that empowers regions and people with access to physical, digital, and social services toward achieving local, regional, and global sustainability.

Corporate Strategy
In September 2020, our Board of Directors adopted the Corporate Strategy: Financing Infrastructure for Tomorrow – a forward-looking blueprint designed to guide the Bank through its growth phase to 2030. In 2025, we introduced targeted updates to the strategy. Under the updated strategy, by 2030, we aim to double our annual financing to reach USD17 billion; target over 50% of our own financing to climate-related investments annually, with total climate finance exceeding USD50 billion; direct 25-30% of financing to support cross-border connectivity projects; and support Members in achieving their development objectives.

Mobilization
We prioritize green infrastructure investments, including projects that deliver local environmental improvements, and investments dedicated to climate mitigation and adaptation actions. All our financings since July 2023 are aligned with the Paris Agreement.
We prioritize projects that facilitate better domestic and cross-border infrastructure connectivity within Asia and beyond. We also support projects that complement cross-border infrastructure connectivity by enhancing regional trade, investment, digital, and financial integration.
In line with our mandate to finance Infrastructure for Tomorrow, we support projects where the application of technology delivers better value, quality, productivity, efficiency, resilience, sustainability, inclusion, transparency, or better governance along the full project life cycle.
We support projects that mobilize private financing into sectors within our mandate. By focusing on leading transactions and actively mobilizing the private sector, we aim to increase overall financing to clients.
