The South China Morning Post reported that the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) plans to channel more investment into projects involving climate resilience, renewable energy and connectivity. Separately, it plans to double annual financing to about US$20 billion by 2030. The report gives no amounts for the individual themes or a breakdown connecting them to the overall target.
AIIB President Zou Jiayi announced the target at the opening of the bank’s 11th annual meeting in Doha, Qatar. She said member economies had voiced a need for more project funding. That reported demand is distinct from the financing goal; the excerpt does not say how the bank intends to reach it.
Zou also said member states increasingly viewed modern infrastructure as a potential source of long-term economic strength, rather than simply as physical assets. The report presents this as a separate observation, not as a stated explanation for the target or a description of how the investment themes would be funded.
