ADB is updating its energy policy, which is instrumental in guiding the bank’s investment portfolio focus to support DMC development, with a target of finalisation for Board consideration at the end of 2021. This session will provide an opportunity for experts and participants to share views on the opportunities and challenges in the Southeast Asian energy sector and how ADB can respond and support. Highlights of ADB’s energy investments in the last 10 years, as well as areas for improvement from the previous energy policy (covering 2009-2019), will be provided including initial priorities and insights for the new policy. The session will conclude with an open and interactive conversation among senior peers and seeks to gather feedback to inform the policy development.
