The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) says it has approved 13 new applications to join it bringing the total membership of the bank which was initiated by China to 70. The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) says it has approved 13 new applications to join it bringing the total membership of the bank which was initiated by China to 70.

The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) says it has approved 13 new applications to join it bringing the total membership of the bank which was initiated by China to 70.

The AIIB announced in a statement posted on its website that it was the first time that it welcomed new members since its inception.

The newcomers include five regional states such as Hong Kong, Afghanistan, Fiji, Timor Leste and Armenia – as well as eight non-Asian countries such as Canada, Belgium, Hungary, Ireland, Peru, Venezuela, Republic of Sudan, and Ethiopia.

"I am very proud that AIIB now has members from almost every continent," Reuters quoted AIIB President Jin Liqun as saying in the bank’s statement. "We anticipate further applications being considered by our Board of Governors later this year."

The inception of the AIIB came in 2014 when China moved to create an independent mechanism to invest in infrastructure projects in the Asia-Pacific region.

Authorities have said that the bank aims to provide financial facilities for a chain of development projects including the construction of dams, ports, power plants and telecommunications networks across Asia.

The AIIB is seen as an emerging rival to powerful Western-led financial institutions such as the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank and the International Monetary Fund.

It is feared by the White House to be a new Chinese policy to increase the influence of the world’s second largest economy at regional and international levels.

Despite opposition from Washington, many US allies including Australia, Britain, German, Italy, the Philippines and South Korea have agreed to join the AIIB.


Poster Comment:

Tatarewicz... Low oil prices are causing Canadian government and provinces to incur large debts so having access to AIIB will help in getting competitive borrowing rates; Canada be getting some of the money its consumers paid for "made in China."

Justice and Peace It's always good to break from Western monitory monopoly which always had a political clout. The world is changing from uni-polar to bi-polar.
