MANILA -- The head of the Asian Development Bank on Thursday warned countries against unsustainable borrowing to fund infrastructure projects, which could leave them stuck in a debt trap.
ADB President Takehiko Nakao told reporters that China's Belt and Road Initiative is a key program to connect regions and broaden integration and cooperation across Asia, and that the ADB would cooperate with China when appropriate. But he cautioned against excessive borrowing to cover infrastructure gaps.
