AIIB and IBRD to Establish New Guarantee Facility to Address G20 Capital Adequacy Framework Recommendations

The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) President Jin Liqun and World Bank Group President Ajay Banga met on June 22 at the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact in Paris, France.

AIIB and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), which is part of the World Bank Group, have been working together to address the G20 Capital Adequacy Framework Working Group recommendations for multilateral development banks to expand their use of financial innovation to provide additional lending capacity.

The proposal would utilize AIIB’s capital to issue USD1 billion guarantees against sovereign-backed loans made by IBRD, which would provide relief against capital constraints, thus enabling IBRD to provide fresh lending, as well as diversifying and enhancing AIIB’s portfolio, which would in turn enable it to increase lending to low-income borrowers.

Finalization of the project is subject to the respective approval process of both institutions.
