Financial technicalities- i am not sure about all these recommendations but they apear in reflective end year reviews
several big issues are in China’s interest: (a) establishing a petro-yuan—a market for oil denominated in yuan to unseat the dollar as the reserve currency, (b) creating (in conjunction with Russia) an alternative to the euro-dominated banking system (specifically the SWIFT check-clearing system290) because of our tendency to use it as a blackmail device, and (c) surviving the next recession without losing control of its banking industry or the masses.

Our mission is to build bridges to China that empower individuals and organizations to serve, inspire and transform lives

OUR FOCUS AREAS: KNOWLEDGE, NETWORKS, & YOUTH
  • Game-changing ideas - We know that there is a hunger and desire to participate meaningfully in nonprofit efforts in China. However, actionable knowledge tends to be scarce, despite a lot of good intentions. We focus as a cross-cultural bridge on generating the kinds of exchanges, ideas, and frameworks that will strengthen the impact of philanthropic endeavors in China. Worthy intentions are simply not enough. But the right understanding and context can change everything.
  • Community networks and engagement – We believe in building online and offline bridges to strengthen community networks. Strong communities have the power to greatly enhance the capacity of individuals and organizations to serve a greater good.
  • Social responsibility and global competence in youth – As a young and youthful organization, we believe that we are uniquely positioned to help cultivate a more globally competent next generation that can act and help to shape a more civil, sustainable and peaceful future for China and the world.

In his address, Mr. Danny Alexander, Vice President, Corporate Secretary, AIIB, stated that India is central to delivering on the Bank’s mandate to support the sustainable economic development of Asia through investment in Infrastructure. “It is but appropriate that the Annual Meeting is being held in Mumbai, the financial capital of India. We are hoping that discussions in Mumbai will help AIIB to deepen our cooperation with India and to develop our approach for mobilizing more private sector capital for infrastructure in Asia. AIIB will continue to develop the Bank according to “Lean, Clean and Green” core values”, Mr Alexander added. He also said that AIIB looks forward to continuing to work with the Indian Government and India’s business community to further develop solutions to fund vital sustainable infrastructure projects across the country.

Annual Meeting related Seminars would also be organized in some Indian cities like Delhi, Kolkata, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Chennai, Bangalore & Vishakhapatnam etc.  prior to the main Annual Meeting. The website https://www.aiib.org will detail out specific information about the forthcoming Annual Meeting.

The AIIB today also approved a US$335 million loan to finance a 100-percent electric Bangalore Metro Rail—R 6 project.

india trnasformed edited by rakesh mohan at brookings is an extraorduinary celebration  of india 1991-2016

back in 1991 manmohan singh and other took india away from a tariff eceonomy with almost every import taxed by 110% to a nation whos tarifs are now often 10%

over thye priod india has grown at 6% - remarkable except in comparison to china

the authors then say can we up this progress to 7% or 9% whilst not fully confronting the admkitted weaknesses
poor on education and health
poor on watsre and sanitation
messy on infarstructure

obviously these experts have much deeper knowledge than me but it is worth reading nilekani's book on rebooting india- now that a billion poersin digital id has been created - nilehkani sugegsts at least 10 goivernment revolutions that the big data could be applloied small to

if the ebest of what chian bangaldesh and india know how to do with tech is implemented in time india will certainly keep growing- if not i am scared for a country with almost a fifth of the opopluation and not yet clear eveidence that the base of its pyramid sustainability is being mapped
