AIIB Suspend all businesses related to Russia and Belarus

The AIIB Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, led by China, has announced that it will forgo all projects related to participating countries Russia and Belarus.



The Chinese government has taken a pro-Russian position over Russia's military invasion of Ukraine.



However, AIIB says it will make every effort to protect its financial soundness, and it seems that it is concerned that it may not be able to recover funds due to increasing economic sanctions on Russia and Belarus.



In addition, as the criticism of the international community against Russia grows, it seems that it also aims to show its position as an independent international financial institution.



AIIB has a deep connection with Russia and has decided to provide a total loan of 800 million dollars for transportation-related businesses and about 92 billion yen in Japanese yen.
