I am currently researching the ADB in its first five years of operation 1967-1972. I am interested in evaluating the Bank's impact upon its own goals of development and channeling finance for the development of infrastructure, agriculture and industry.
I have looked at the ADB's annual reports and the Economic Commission for Asia and the Far East Economic Surveys from 1960-1972 but I can't find mention of the need for infrastructure in Asia states to support economic growth.
Any help is appreciated.
It might be difficult to find such data. Few years age I was seraching for some data related to South American countries, with no positive result. I looked into the UN institutions, especially UNIDO, but it was not possible to find the data which I needed.
Dear James
There are many countries in Asia and the definition of infrastructure investment may vary. Here are some sources:
