The ADB’s Strategy 2030: Repackaging Neoliberalism?

Until today, the ADB forwards the greater role for the private sector in development – which in theory includes small and medium enterprises (SMEs), but in practice serves more as shorthand for transnational corporations (TNCs) and domestic elites. The bank also forwards Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) as a model for infrastructure and services. The ADB held its 51st Annual Governors’ Meeting in Manila, Philippines from 3 to 6 May 2018.
