FOREWORD
The year 2016 marks the 50th anniversary of the Asian Development Bank (ADB). To commemorate this event, ADB has produced ADB Through the Decades, a series of volumes to provide a corporate chronicle over the past 5 decades of how ADB has evolved to engage its shareholders and other development partners in delivering financial and advisory services to its developing member countries in the Asia and Pacific region. Organized around key themes and topics for each decade, the series documents ADB’s past work in such areas as strategic, operational, financial, and institutional developments.
The series synthesizes materials from many different sources, building from ADB’s annual reports. The five volumes serve as decadal background notes for ADB’s corporate history book, Banking on the Future of Asia and the Pacific: 50 Years of the Asian Development Bank, to be launched in 2017. Together, the history book and these volumes provide the first comprehensive corporate narrative on ADB’s history since the previous ADB history book, A Bank for Half the World, was published in 1987.
Looking over the past 50 years, ADB has demonstrated a strong corporate continuity of being a multilateral development bank with an Asian character and global outreach. More significantly, the leadership of ADB has undertaken profound changes for the institution to stay relevant and responsive in serving the changing needs and expectations of its developing member countries. This spirit of change and innovation shall continue to drive ADB in the years ahead.
Reflecting on our history will give us a better insight for our work in the future. I hope that this ADB Through the Decades series becomes a key reference for ADB staff as well as other stakeholders from member countries, academic institutions, development partners, and civil society organizations.

This series, ADB Through the Decades, began as background research for the history book project chronicling the first 50 years of the Asian Development Bank (ADB). In the last 50 years, ADB has continuously evolved in response to dynamic changes across the Asia and Pacific region. The story of ADB’s transformation became evident as the team tasked to support the ADB corporate history book project sifted through ADB’s annual reports, past and present President’s speeches, official and personal correspondences, loan documents, policy and strategy papers, evaluation reports, transcripts of interviews, historical records, and other archival materials. Drawing from the rich but fragmented sources of information, the team prepared background notes for each decade as an effort to capture and synthesize the significant developments and key turning points in ADB’s history.
President Takehiko Nakao encouraged the team to publish the series as a stand-alone reference to a wider audience, including ADB staff. This work was done in parallel with the drafting of the ADB history book and took more than 2 years to complete. What were intended as internal supporting documents for the history book project in the end became five volumes that comprise the ADB Through the Decades series. This series provides the first comprehensive institutional record of the different facets of ADB’s work—strategic, operational, financial, and organizational—spanning 50 years of ADB’s history.
The first four volumes of the series were led by Valerie Hill, Director of the Strategy, Policy and Business Process Division (SPBP), Strategy, Policy and Review Department (SPD) with Edeena Pike, Strategy and Policy Specialist, Office of the Director General, SPD. The fifth volume was led by Ananya Basu, Principal Economist at the Pacific Department (PARD). Jade Tolentino, Research Consultant, provided substantive analytical support on all the volumes. Xianbin Yao, Director General, PARD, provided overall guidance and shared his insights on ADB’s history to further enrich the notes. Peter McCawley, main author of the ADB history book, gave useful comments throughout the process.
This series benefited from comments and suggestions received from various departments and offices, as well as thematic and sector groups across ADB, during the interdepartmental review process. The volumes
