Mr. Jesus Felipe
Asian Development Bank, Senior Economic Advisor
I am Advisor to the Chief Economist, in the Economic Research and Regional Cooperation Department of the Asian Development Bank (ADB), Manila, Philippines, where I have worked since 1996. My main functions are to advise ADB’s Chief Economist on development issues at large and, specifically, on their implications for both ADB’s operations and for policy dialogue with the Bank’s developing member countries; and to lead the work program on “Asia’s Economic Transformation”. I have travelled extensively throughout Asia and participated in many policy discussions with Governments and provided advice on the design of development plans.
