[Masato Kanda @ADBPresident]

As delegates gather for the @ADBInstitute Annual Conference 2026, on Wednesday, I wish them every success.

Our region’s projected 5% growth in 2026 signals resilience, but resilience is not the same as quality growth.

Tackling aging, falling fertility, and slowing productivity requires better policies, stronger institutions, and investment in people.

Our test is not how many papers we publish, but whether better policies measurably improve people’s lives.
