ADB’s COVID-19 Response for Developing Asia Surpasses $20 Billion

ADB’s committed assistance to help its developing member countries address the COVID-19 pandemic including vaccination support has surpassed $20 billion

ADB’s COVID-19 response consists of a $20 billion package announced in April 2020 and the $9 billion Asia Pacific Vaccine Access Facility (APVAX) announced in December 2020.

ADB’s initial $20 billion COVID-19 response package supports its developing member countries in countering the severe macroeconomic and health impacts caused by COVID-19, including $2.5 billion in concessional and grant resources, as well as $2 billion earmarked for the private sector (non-sovereign).

ADB's $9 billion APVAX vaccine initiative offers rapid and equitable support to its developing member countries as they procure and deliver effective and safe COVID-19 vaccines.

Committed Amount is the financing approved by ADB's Board of Directors or Management for which the legal agreement has been signed by the borrower, recipient, or the investee company and ADB.
