The Asian Development Bank will map out an information and communication technology (ICT) strategy in its effort to help developing member countries reap the benefits of economic globalization, ADB President Tadao Chino said Friday.
Chino also urged the ADB's 59 member countries to maintain the momentum of economic structural reform, to achieve sustainable economic growth amid the global slowdown.
The ADB's forthcoming ICT strategy "could help them (developing member economies) respond to globalization," Chino said in a closing address at the ADB's 34th annual meeting.
ADB officials said the strategy will likely be announced within months.
