With financial services playing a key role in supporting the growth of the real economy while promoting inclusive finance, a comprehensive reform approach supported by technical assistance (TA) is required to make the financial sector more inclusive. As the sector continues to grow and ADB funding is limited, TA and strong development partner coordination are essential to ensure financial resources are strategically targeted, to avoid overlapping or overcrowding of assistance in particular areas at the expense of others. Under the associated TA, benefits and positive outcomes resulted from close consultation with development partners whose timely technical inputs enabled the completion of policy actions. Likewise, technical assistance from ADB provided a foundation for other development partners to continue their support.
