THE Asian Development Bank (ADB) is ramping up efforts to deepen regional integration, committing $70 billion through 2035 to connect power grids and expand digital infrastructure across Asia and the Pacific. ADB President Masato Kanda said the twin initiatives — the Pan-Asia Power Grid and the Asia-Pacific Digital Highway — were designed to build the systems needed for long-term growth and competitiveness in the region. “Energy and digital access will define the region’s future,” he said, noting that stronger cross-border connectivity can expand economic opportunities while delivering reliable power and internet services to underserved populations.   https://www.manilatimes.net/2026/05/05/business/top-business/adb-to-finance-asia-energy-digital-links/2334885 (ICE SINGAPORE)
