Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with the issuance of US$80,000,000 aggregate nominal amount of Floating Rate Tajikistan Disaster Relief Capital at Risk Notes due 30 May 2029 (the "Notes"), by the Asian Development Bank (the "Bank") pursuant to (i) the Terms Agreement, dated as of April 23, 2026, as amended on April 28, 2026 (so amended, the "Terms Agreement"), between the Bank, on the one hand, and Aon Securities LLC (the "Dealer"), on the other hand, (ii) the Global Agency Agreement, dated April 28, 2011, as amended on October 6, 2017, December 9, 2020 and May 7, 2025 (so amended, the "Global Agency Agreement"), between the Bank and Citibank, N.A., as the Global Agent, and (iii) the prospectus dated December 9, 2020, as amended by the Capital at Risk Notes prospectus supplement dated April 1, 2026 and the prospectus supplement dated April 23, 2026 relating to the Notes (so supplemented, the "Prospectus"), we, as your counsel, have examined such records, certificates and other documents, and such questions of law, as we have considered necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.

Upon the basis of such examination, it is our opinion that, when duly authenticated by the Global Agent and delivered against payment therefor in accordance with the Terms Agreement, the Notes will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Bank, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity principles.
