ADB signs deal with five global insurers

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has signed an agreement with five leading global insurers which will mobilise up to US$1 billion of cofinancing capacity to support lending to Financial Institutions (FIs) in Asia and the Pacific. The highly rated insurers participating in the programmeme will cover the risk of nonpayment on a portion of ADB’s loans to the financial institutions. This will allow ADB to transfer credit risk from its portfolio to insurers’ balance sheets, freeing up ADB’s capital, managing its exposures and increasing its lending capacity.The programme streamlines the underwriting and approval process for risk transfers and will allow ADB to more efficiently mobilise cofinancing capacity. ADB’s loans to the financial sector have included support for operational priorities such as micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises, gender equality, and efforts to address climate change.
