About AIIB 

The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is a multilateral development bank whose mission is financing the Infrastructure for Tomorrow—infrastructure with sustainability at its core. We began operations in Beijing in January 2016 and have since grown to 109 approved members worldwide. We are capitalized at USD100 billion and AAA rated by the major international credit rating agencies. Collaborating with partners, AIIB meets clients’ needs by unlocking new capital and investing in infrastructure that is green, technology-enabled and promotes regional connectivity. 

The mission and vision of AIIB’s Communications Department (COM) is to build stakeholder trust by creating breakthrough communications that show how AIIB empowers people through infrastructure. COM helps AIIB effectively tell its story. Whether it’s official communications for use by and within the Bank, or processing institutional documents, or communicating with staff, or informing external audiences about what we do and why we do it—we provide strategic advice and support on how to craft messages, get media coverage, share on social media and build awareness with our internal and external stakeholders.
