AIIB targets $20B annual financing by 2030 to bridge Asia infrastructure gap

AIIB President Zou Jiayi announced at the bank's 11th annual meeting in Doha that the lender plans to double annual financing to about $20 billion by 2030, responding to consistent member demand for more infrastructure funding. The target signals a significant expansion of the Beijing-led multilateral bank's role in Asian infrastructure development, though execution depends on capital mobilization and project pipeline. This could intensify competition with other development lenders and shape regional infrastructure financing dynamics.
