Of the approved assistance for countries affected by the Indian Ocean tsunami, are there projects that may not push through due to a lack of funds?
ADB stands fully committed to the implementation of approved investment projects and technical assistance. There will be no cancellations of any of the approved projects and where necessary, completion periods have been extended to ensure that funds will be fully utilized and disbursed. All contracts are expected to be awarded and all payments disbursed by end-2010 at the latest.
