VP of China-based AIIB says bank has proven doubters ‘100% wrong’

“When AIIB was first being proposed, people thought: was AIIB going to have lower standards? Was AIIB going to try to undermine the existing international system? We’ve proved all those things wrong,” he said.

Alexander works directly with Jin Liqun, the bank’s president and a former Chinese vice-minister of finance, to shape the institution’s overall strategy and philosophy of governance.
