The Beijing-based Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank is in talks to provide a second loan guarantee deal to the World Bank, a move that would deepen the lenders’ partnership and allow the Washington-based institution to increase lending.The talks follow a similar deal last year, when the AIIB agreed to issue $1bn in credit guarantees against sovereign-backed loans made by the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the World Bank’s lending arm. That deal was intended to enable the IBRD to squeeze more out of its cash-constrained balance sheet.
總部設在北京的亞洲基礎設施投資銀行(AIIB,簡稱亞投行)正就向世界銀行(World Bank)提供第二筆貸款擔保協議進行談判,此舉將加深兩家銀行的合作關係,並使總部位於華盛頓的世界銀行能夠增加貸款。
