An AIIB delegation led by President Jin Liqun at the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4) in Seville contributed strategic insights and co-led initiatives that translate high-level commitments into actionable, country-driven solutions.
AIIB joined over 10 side events, delivering strategic interventions and co-hosting multiple sessions in partnership with peer institutions. At a multi-stakeholder roundtable on revitalizing international development cooperation, President Jin emphased the critical role of coordinated financing approaches in achieving sustainable development goals.
AIIB also undertook media engagements and bilateral meetings with AIIB members and business partners, reinforcing the bank's commitment to transparent dialogue and collaborative partnerships in addressing global development challenges.
Two AIIB initiatives were prominently featured under the Sevilla Platform for Action (SPA):
- AIIB co-led the Global Financing Playbook, an effort developed in partnership with UNDP and IDFC, alongside a broad coalition involving developing countries' governments, multilateral and public development banks (PDBs), development finance institutions (DFIs) and philanthropies. This comprehensive toolkit provides a practical framework to overcome investment barriers and scale financing aligned with national priorities by surfacing and aligning proven and innovative solutions for sustainable development and climate finance.
- The Technical Assistance Pooling initiative represents a demand-driven coordination mechanism that connects partners across the project cycle to support upstream preparation, knowledge transfer, and implementation capacity. Tailored to local needs and institutional mandates, this initiative is already being piloted in ASEAN and Central Asia with support from UNECA, UNIDO, AUDA-NEPAD, FONPLATA and other key partners.
Also at FfD4, AIIB signed agreements to enhance cooperation with key multilateral development partners:
- AIIB and the Arab Fund signed an MoU to enhance cooperation in sustainable infrastructure development, focusing on sovereign and non-sovereign co-financing, joint project preparation, and priorities including climate resilience, cross-border connectivity, digital infrastructure and sustainable urban development.
- AIIB and EBRD renewed their collaboration in three priority areas: sustainable infrastructure and cross-border connectivity, blended finance and joint resource mobilization, and private capital mobilization.
AIIB's participation at FfD4 strengthened the bank's role in the global development finance architecture. Through strategic partnerships, innovative financing mechanisms and collaborative platforms, AIIB continues to advance its mission of financing “Infrastructure for Tomorrow" while supporting countries in achieving their sustainable development objectives.
