Asian Development Bank (ADB) has announced financial support for member countries to mitigate economic & financial impacts resulting from conflict in Middle East with 1) Fast-disbursing budget support using Countercyclical Support Facility to mitigate impact on lives & livelihoods & 2) Trade and Supply Chain Finance Program (TSCFP) to support private sector to ensure critical imports (include energy & food). Announcement (24/3/26): “The Asian Development Bank (ADB) today announced a financial support package to help its developing member countries (DMCs) mitigate the economic and financial impacts resulting from the conflict in the Middle East. ADB has ample resources to safeguard existing and planned operations, while expanding emergency support in line with DMC needs, including utilizing its countercyclical lending buffer. The bank is closely monitoring global market developments and their potential implications for economies across Asia and the Pacific, particularly regarding energy price volatility, inflationary pressures, and external account balances. The latest ADB analysis indicates that disruptions to shipping routes have already increased costs and delivery times, while supply risks extend beyond energy to key industrial inputs such as petrochemicals and fertilizers, with serious implications for agriculture and food production. Tourism- and remittance-dependent economies face compounding vulnerabilities beyond these initial shocks. Furthermore, the conflict is increasing uncertainty and tightening financial conditions across the region, putting pressure on currencies and capital flows. In response, ADB is ready to deploy timely financial and technical support to help DMCs manage risks, maintain macroeconomic stability, and protect vulnerable populations. There are two main components to ADB’s intervention. The first is fast-disbursing budget support to help DMCs facing heightened fiscal pressures, notably the use of the bank’s Countercyclical Support Facility to help governments stabilize their economies and mitigate the impact of shocks on the lives and livelihoods of those most at risk. The second is ADB’s Trade and Supply Chain Finance Program (TSCFP), which supports the private sector to ensure critical imports, including energy and food, continue to flow. The bank has decided to reactivate support for oil imports under the program on an exceptional basis for this limited period. This decision acknowledges that economies and people across the region are being severely affected by the rapid surge in oil prices and supply chain disruptions. ADB has begun discussions with all severely affected DMCs on possible immediate support and will continue to work closely with governments, development partners, and the private sector to ensure coordinated and effective responses to maintain economic stability and protect the poor and most vulnerable.”
