Kuroda reelected ABD president for second term

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) Board of Governors has unanimously reelected Haruhiko Kuroda as president of ADB for a further five years beginning from November 24, 2011.
Kuroda was first elected ADB president in November 2004, officially assuming office on February 1, 2005 to complete the term of former president Tadao Chino. He was subsequently reelected for a full five-year term beginning from November 2006.
Kuroda is the eighth president of ADB. Under his stewardship, ADB adopted a new long-term strategy charting the Bank’s strategic course to the year 2020, refocusing ADB’s operational agenda on inclusive economic growth, environmentally sustainable growth and regional cooperation and integration, the Manila-based agency said, adding that during Kuroda’s tenure, ADB has tripled its capital base from $55 billion to $165 billion, and significantly bolstered its concessional lending window, Asian Development Fund, enabling ADB to push forward on mainstreaming climate change and strengthening support to countries in fragile and conflict-affected situations among others.


"I am honoured by the decision of ADB’s Board of Governors to serve a second five-year term and look forward to the challenges ahead," Kuroda said, adding that while countries in Asia and the Pacific have made remarkable progress since, he first joined ADB over six years ago. "We must not forget that the region is still home to hundreds of millions of the world's poorest people. There is still much work to be done."
Before joining ADB, Kuroda was special advisor to the Cabinet of Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi and a professor at the Graduate School of Economics at Hitotsubashi University in Tokyo. In a career spanning nearly four decades, Kuroda has represented Japan’s Ministry of Finance at a number of international monetary conferences as vice minister of Finance for International Affairs.
Born in 1944, Kuroda holds a BA in Law from the University of Tokyo and a Master of Philosophy in Economics from the University of Oxford.

Thanks for revealing your ideas right here. The other factor is that when a problem arises with a pc motherboard, individuals should not go ahead and take risk associated with repairing this themselves because if it is not done properly it can lead to irreparable damage to the whole laptop.
Most commonly it is safe just to approach a dealer of
that laptop for your repair of the motherboard. They have got technicians who may have an competence in dealing with
notebook computer motherboard difficulties and can make right diagnosis and carry out repairs.

Heya this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors
or if you have to manually code with HTML. I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding experience so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
