The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB or the Bank)  is a multilateral development bank whose mandate is to  (i) foster sustainable economic development, create wealth  and improve infrastructure connectivity in Asia by investing in  infrastructure and other productive sectors; and (ii) promote  regional cooperation and partnership in addressing development  challenges by closely collaborating with other multilateral and  bilateral development institutions.

AIIB published its Sustainable Development Bond Framework (the Framework) in April 2021. The Framework describes the  process by which the Bank selects projects for investment and  the strategies, policies and processes that apply to them. The  Bank’s annual impact report is prepared under the Framework. 

The Sustainable Development Bond Impact Report 2022  (Impact Report 2022) discloses the Bank’s overall portfolio and  project level results reflecting environmental and social benefits  generated by its financing activities in 2022.

This report shares AIIB’s journey toward sustainability and  its commitment to becoming Paris-aligned by July 1, 2023. 

The report also presents data on AIIB’s bond issuance profile,  portfolio volume, alignment with thematic priorities, portfolio  performance, portfolio allocation and selected project impact  stories chosen to illustrate how AIIB is addressing clients’  needs while also making an impact among its Members in Asia  and beyond.

AIIB aims to continuously enhance its approach and respond  to changes in industry best practices and market expectations. 

AIIB’s Sustainable Development Bond Framework and Impact  Report approach will be reviewed over time to reflect the  evolution of the green, social and sustainable bond markets and  changes in AIIB’s strategies, policies and processes.
