===2010s===
Asia moved beyond the economic crisis and by 2010 had emerged as a new engine of global economic growth though it remained home to two-thirds of the world's poor. In addition, the increasing prosperity of many people in the region created a widening [[income gap]] that left many people behind. ADB responded to this with loans and grants that encouraged economic growth.<ref name="admin" />

In early 2012, the ADB began to re-engage with [[Myanmar]] in response to reforms initiated by the government. In April 2014, ADB opened an office in [[Myanmar]] and resumed making loans and grants to the country.<ref name="admin" />

In 2017, ADB combined the lending operations of its Asian Development Fund (ADF) with its ordinary capital resources (OCR). The result was to expand the OCR balance sheet to permit increasing annual lending and grants to $20&nbsp;billion by 2020 – 50% more than the previous level.<ref name="admin" />

In 2020, ADB gave a $2&nbsp;million grant from the Asia Pacific Disaster Response Fund, to support the Armenian government in the fight against the spread of [[COVID-19 pandemic]]. In the same year, the ADB committed a $20&nbsp;million loan to Electric Networks of Armenia, that will ensure electricity for the citizens during the pandemic, as well as approved $500,000 in regional technical assistance to procure personal protective equipment and other medical supplies.<ref name="ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK MEMBER FACT SHEET">{{cite web |title=Asian Development Bank |url=https://www.adb.org/sites/default/files/publication/27749/arm-2020.pdf |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221009/https://www.adb.org/sites/default/files/publication/27749/arm-2020.pdf |archive-date=2022-10-09 |url-status=live |publisher=Asian Development Bank}}</ref>
