Additional measures are necessary for the government securities market to stimulate demand from both retail and institutional investors. The program had several supply-based reforms, particularly around the primary dealer system and government bonds; however, turnover velocity was below the target, particularly for the secondary market relating to government securities. This would suggest that additional demand-based measures are as of December 2023 required for the government securities market to stimulate demand from both retail and institutional investors.

Lesson
External NDF cofinancing and GCF climate finance partnerships were referenced here, and lessons provided were very broad, and not supported by evidence in the TCR. Internal ADB partnerships were not mentioned in the TCR, which would be important for encouraging broader adoption and sustainability of respective DMCs’ TA efforts via the country dialogue processes.
