Features: Among the many areas for improving public sector management, strengthening the management of public expenditures is a top priority. Enhancing financial discipline, aligning resource allocation with development priorities, creating a favorable environment for public finance managers, and safeguarding legal procedures are common challenges faced by member countries of the Asian Development Bank. On a voluntary basis, the Asian Development Bank can provide a range of assistance to its member countries. The Bank can offer fundamental conceptual frameworks, provide principles for good budgeting, introduce reform measures widely recognized by the international community, and share successful and unsuccessful experiences from around the world.
