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.

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.
