Asian Development Bank: Finance

Asked by James McMurdockIndependentForeign, Commonwealth and Development OfficeTabled Answered 14 February 2025UIN 28442

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether his Department has plans to increase funding to the Asian Development Bank.

Answered by Anneliese Dodds

The UK has committed £120 million to the Asian Development Bank's Asian Development Fund thirteenth replenishment (ADF-14) over the four years 2025 to 2028. We have no plans to increase this commitment or to provide additional core funding to the Bank over this period. We are working through a Multi-Period Spending Review where all trade-offs in spend will be considered and subject to final Foreign Secretary approval.
