AIIB Members Commit $83.5 Million to Project Preparation Special Fund
The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) has announced an additional USD 83.5 million in commitments to its Project Preparation Special Fund. This new capital brings the total contributions and commitments for the fund to approximately USD 213 million, aimed at expanding a pipeline of high-quality, bankable infrastructure projects across member nations. Since its inception in 2016, the fund has focused on integrating climate resilience, digital innovation, and sustainability into project planning. As of September 2026, the fund had approved USD 110 million in grants for 45 projects spanning 13 AIIB members. The initiative emphasizes a shareholder-based partnership model rather than a traditional donor-recipient relationship to support less developed member states.
