The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) has opened the nomination process for the election of its next president. The election will be conducted at the 10th Annual Meeting of the Bank’s Board of Governors on June 24-26, 2025.

Candidates are nominated by AIIB Governors and must be a national of one of the Bank’s regional members while being able to demonstrate an ability to formulate, articulate and execute a clear vision aligned with the Bank’s mission. They should have a record of accomplishment in executive leadership and experience working effectively in a multinational and multicultural environment, coupled with a strong dedication to international development and cooperation. The nomination period runs until 5pm Beijing time on April 30, 2025.

"An open, transparent, merit-based presidential election process underscores AIIB’s commitment to the highest standards of governance,” said Vice President and Corporate Secretary Ludger Schuknecht. “This approach ensures accountable leadership, which is essential for advancing our mission of sustainable infrastructure development."

To be elected, under Article 29 of the Articles of Agreement of the AIIB and the AIIB Rules for the Election of the President, a presidential candidate must receive an affirmative vote from two-thirds of the total number of Governors, representing no less than three-fourths of the total voting power of AIIB members. The next president will be elected to serve a five-year term and may be re-elected once.

This will be AIIB’s third presidential election. Founding President Jin Liqun will complete his second term on January 15, 2026.
