I welcomed the opportunity to exchange views with Luxembourg Minister of Finance @RothGilles on deepening our partnership in sustainable finance.
Our cooperation with Luxembourg is already delivering results, from Luxembourgโs nearly $5 million contribution to support fintech innovation in Southeast Asia to ADBโs $100 million Glacier Melt Awareness green bond launched on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
ADB serves as a bridge between European capitals and developing Asia and the Pacific.ย With Luxembourgโs leadership in sustainable finance, capital markets, and innovative investment vehicles, we can work together to mobilize private capital at scale.

Last night,ย I was glad to open an exhibitionย marking 60 years of ADBโEurope partnership and 30 years of @ADB_Europe.
Europe has been part of ADBโs story from the beginning, providing $18.3 billion in cofinancing and close to $11 billion to the Asian Development Fund. But what matters is where that support lands: with farmers building food security, students gaining new skills, and small businesses accessing finance.
Sixty years of partnership is something to build on, not simply look back on. Europe and Asia are already deeply connected through trade and capital. The opportunity now is to connect just as strongly for shared prosperity.
