At the AIIB annual board meeting in Qatar, President Zou Jiayi said the Asian
Infrastructure Investment Bank plans to double its annual approved lending to
roughly $20bn by 2030. Zou said the expansion will be accompanied by
business-model and loan-product innovation to speed project delivery and improve
development impact, and that the bank will maintain an open, multilateral
approach to deepen regional connectivity and add greater certainty to global
sustainable development.
