亚洲基础设施投资银行明年将建成运作
The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank is set to become a reality, now that 21 participating countries have signed off on its creation.
亚洲基础设施投资银行的建立将成为现实，现在已经有21个国家签署了组建草案。
The bank is going to begin with a seed of 100 billion US dollars, half of which China is putting forward.
The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank will operate similar to that of the World Bank.
The United Nations, the Asian Development Bank, the World Bank and other international finance institutions are supporting the creation of the bank.
However, there are countries in the region which have yet to endorse its creation, including Indonesia and South Korea.
For more on the creation of the new facility, we earlier spoke to Mike Bastin, Director of the China Business Centre at Southampton Solent University.
