The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is an international financial institution focused on supporting infrastructure construction. The bank was initiated by the government of China and supported by 49 other countries from Europe, Oceania, Africa and South America as members. AIIB is regarded by some as a rival for the IMF, the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank (ADB), which are regarded as dominated by developed countries like the United States. The United Nations has addressed the launch of AIIB as "scaling up financing for sustainable development" for the concern of Global Economic Governance.
