The £800 million bond issuance is the twelfth bond listed by the bank on the LuxSE and forms part of the AIIB’s strategy to diversify its investor base.

Since establishing its global medium term note programme in December 2019, the AIIB has made bond issuances in Turkish Lira, Russian Ruble, Thai Baht and Hong Kong Dollars

AIIB was established in 2016 to improve social and economic outcomes in Asia through sustainable infrastructure investment. Luxembourg was one of the first countries to become a non-regional member of the bank.

“With more than half of our bonds listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange this year, we truly value our close partnership with the Exchange in contributing to our endeavour to improve the lives of millions of people in Asia and beyond,” said AIIB president Jin Liqun, who was recently elected to a second term at the helm of the bank.
