SPEECH BY FINANCIAL SECRETARY
AT ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK
PartH

I
There are some minor discrepancies in figures between the Financial Secretary's speech and those given in our telno 528. None of them are significant and they simply flow from the slightly different methods by which refugee statistics are collected and circulated within different parts of the Goverment.
