7 1 I. CONSISTENCY OF BUSINESS PLAN WITH COUNTRY TNERSHIP STRATEGY 1. To achieve its goal of achieving middle-income country status by 2021, Bangladesh is aiming for annual average real gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 7.4% under the government s seventh five-year plan for FY2016 FY To accelerate inclusive growth and reduce poverty and income inequality, the country will require a substantial increase in yearly investments from 29.0% of GDP in FY2015 to 34.4% of GDP by FY2020. More than $11 billion in external resources will be needed during the plan period for public sector investment. Consistent with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) strategic directions set by the ADB s Strategy 2020 midterm review, the country operations business plan (COBP) for aims to support the current and emerging development priorities of the government, including activities to sustain strong and inclusive economic growth and strong human development. 2 This COBP is the last under the ADB country partnership strategy (CPS), for Bangladesh. 2. The COBP will support continued government efforts in industrial development to diversify the economy and in rural development to manage urbanization. ADB will prioritize activities to develop infrastructure, skills, resilience to environmental and climate change, the private sector, and regional cooperation and integration. In terms of Strategy 2020 s drivers of change, activities in the ADB pipeline will seek to strengthen public private partnerships, improve governance in local governments, enhance skills, and mainstream gender equity and knowledge solutions. Environmental and climate change considerations have been integrated into project interventions. 3. Responding to the country needs and with ADB s enhanced resource base, the COBP substantially scales up ADB operations from the historical base by programming beyond the indicative assistance level. Projects covered by this additional programmed amount have been included under the standby category. Nonetheless, projects and programs will be processed according to their readiness, regardless of whether they are listed as firm or standby. Depending on readiness, project processing may also be advanced or rescheduled. The program includes the technical assistance (TA) loans and project design advances (PDAs) needed to support project readiness. TA resources will focus on project or program preparation, implementation support, and knowledge products and services. II. INDICATIVE RESOURCE AMETERS 4. Bangladesh is a Group B ADB developing member country and currently has access to both the Asian Development Fund (ADF) and ADB s ordinary capital resources (OCR). The indicative resources available during for sovereign operations amount to $2,778 million. This comprises $1,502 million in market-based OCR and $1,276 million in ADF and concessional OCR resources. 3 The final allocation will depend on the availability of ADF and concessional OCR resources, as well as the outcome of ADB s country performance assessments. The lending program includes the over-programming that is listed as standby (para. 3). This is done to build a strong pipeline for additional lending resources that may become available as a result of the merger of ADF lending resources with the OCR balance sheet. The pipeline will be revisited during the next country programming exercise in The ADB-funded TA program, for , averages about $3.7 million a year. An indicative lending and nonlending program and a list of indicative knowledge publications and events are 1 Government of Bangladesh The Seventh Five Year Plan FY2016-FY2020: Accelerating Growth and Empowering Every Citizen. Planning Commission, Ministry of Planning: Dhaka (draft) 2 ADB Midterm Review of Strategy 2020: Meeting the Challenges of a Transforming Asia and Pacific. Manila. 3 This reflects the approved combination of ADF lending operations with the OCR balance sheet that will become effective on 1 January 2017.

8 2 in Appendixes 2 and 4. In consultation with the government, ADB will actively explore opportunities for cofinancing to increase the project scope. Private sector operations will be catalyzed using ADB s nonsovereign lending products. III. SUMMARY OF CHANGES TO LENDING AND NONLENDING PROGRAMS 5. Energy. The COBP continues to focus on the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity; improving energy efficiency; and developing regional cooperation in power trading. Tranche 3 of the Power System Expansion and Efficiency Improvement Investment Program multitranche financing facility (MFF) is confirmed for The Natural Gas Development and Distribution Project MFF, with tranche 1 in 2016 listed as standby, will support expanding delivery of domestic gas and imported liquefied natural gas. Project Preparatory Facility for Power Sector (TA loan) in 2016 will support early project preparation in the power sector. The Rural Hybrid Power Development Project in 2017 (standby) will support rural communities and renewable energy development. 6. Transport. ADB will focus on improving road maintenance, increasing the capacity of regional road corridor from Dhaka to Northwestern Bangladesh, and building the Dhaka Chittagong Cox s Bazar railway corridor. Additional Financing for Subregional Transport Project Preparatory Facility (TA loan) in 2015 will support preparation of 600 kilometers of roads improvement in eight subregional corridors, and the conversion of the Dhaka Chittagong Cox s Bazar rail corridor to dual-gauge from meter gauge. Tranche 1 of the SASEC Roads Project II is scheduled for The Railway Rolling Stock Project, scheduled for 2015, will enhance railway services by providing more and better rolling stock. The first tranche for the SASEC Chittagong Cox s Bazar Railway Project Phase 1 in 2016 (standby) will finance a new 100- kilometer railway line. 7. Education. The COBP strengthens ADB involvement in primary and secondary education; skills development; and science, technology and innovation. Tranche 3 of the Skills for Employment Investment Program in 2017 will support policy and institutional reforms and improved job placement. The Information Technology Parks for Employment in 2017 (standby) will support skills development in technology and innovation. 8. Finance. In the finance sector, ADB s focus will remain on the development of a capital market, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and infrastructure financing. The Small and Medium Enterprise II Project in 2015 (standby) will support access to finance for SMEs in nonmetropolitan areas. The Third Public Private Infrastructure Development Facility Project in 2016 (standby) will address infrastructure deficiencies by providing long-term debt financing for private sector-sponsored infrastructure projects. 9. Water and other urban infrastructure and services. ADB will provide support in the integrated planning process for climate change mitigation and adaptation, water supply and sanitation in large cities, urban primary health care, and governance. A PDA in 2016 will support preparation of the tranche 1 subproject of the City Region Development Investment Program. Additional financing for the Coastal Towns Environmental Infrastructure Project is included in the pipeline for Agriculture, natural resources, and rural development. ADB will support food security and rural livelihoods by helping to improve productivity, climate-resilient connectivity, and integrated water resources management. A PDA in 2016 will support preparation of the Crop Diversification and Value Chain Infrastructure Development Project. A PDA in 2015 will support the Rural Infrastructure Maintenance Program, with result-based lending, for 2016.
