The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank celebrated its fifth anniversary in 2020, a year marked by new health and emergency response investments through the COVID-19 Crisis Recovery Facility and the development of its new 10-year corporate strategy for 2021-2030.
Devex has analyzed AIIB’s approved projects over the past five years to understand its growth trajectory, its COVID-19 support, and to what extent its investments already align with the priorities of its new strategy: green infrastructure, regional connectivity and cooperation, technology-enabled infrastructure, and the private sector.
The bank has grown relentlessly. It expanded from 57 founding members in 2016 to 103 members in 2020. Its current total investment is over $22 billion for 108 approved projects across 28 member countries, ranging from economic resiliency infrastructure to COVID-19 health infrastructure projects.
