由中國倡議設(shè)立的亞洲基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施投資銀行(AIIB),,是現(xiàn)有國際金融體系的一個補充,于星期五(12月25日)在北京正式成立,,預(yù)計明年初開始運作,。
中國財政部部長樓繼偉說,“《亞投行協(xié)定》今天生效,,標(biāo)志著亞洲基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施投資銀行(以下簡稱亞投行)今天正式成立,。”
《亞投行協(xié)定》概述了每個創(chuàng)始成員國的財政份額以及決策機制、支配結(jié)構(gòu),、業(yè)務(wù)運營等規(guī)則,。星期五,17個創(chuàng)始成員國的立法機構(gòu)提交了協(xié)定的批準(zhǔn)書,,且它們的股份總和占比達(dá)50.1%,,《亞投行協(xié)定》即告生效。
樓部長表示,,這是國際經(jīng)濟治理體系改革進程中具有里程碑意義的重大事件,。
據(jù)樓部長稱,亞投行理事會和董事會成立大會計劃于2016年1月16日至18日在北京舉行,,大會上將選舉出亞投行行長和管理團隊,,之后亞投行將開始運營。
亞投行候任行長金立群在接受新華社記者專訪時表示,,銀行將開始招募新成員,,并補充說,亞投行新成員資格將向國際復(fù)興開發(fā)銀行和亞洲開發(fā)銀行(ADB)成員開放,。
總部設(shè)在北京的亞投行,,現(xiàn)有57名成員國。中國,,印度和俄羅斯是亞投行三個最大的股東,,他們股份占比分別是 30.34%,,8.52%,和6.66%,。他們的基礎(chǔ)投票權(quán)依次為26.06%,,7.5%,和5.92%,。
中國財政部副部長史耀斌告訴新華社記者,,“中國無意謀求一票否決權(quán)。”它的股份和基礎(chǔ)投票權(quán)比例是據(jù)當(dāng)前協(xié)定的相關(guān)規(guī)則計算的,,是其“經(jīng)濟總量使然”,,今后隨著新成員的加入,比例會相應(yīng)的稀釋,。
The China-initiated Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), a complement to existing international financial system, was formally established Friday in Beijing and expected to start operation early next year.
"The AIIB is legally established as the Articles of Agreement take effect today," said Lou Jiwei, China's Minister of Finance.
The Articles of Agreement outlines the financial share of each founding member as well as rules for policymaking, governance structure, and business and operational systems for the bank. It became effective once the legislatures of 17 members, who hold a combined 50.1 percent stake in the bank, ratified the agreement.
The establishment of the AIIB marks a milestone in the reform of global economic governance system, Lou said.
The AIIB will be operational after board of directors and executive council meet for the first time. The meetings are slated to run from Jan. 16 to 18 in Beijing, according to Lou. The bank's president will be officially appointed and the management team will be in place at the meetings.
The bank will start recruiting new members, Jin Liqun, the bank's president-designate, said in an interview with Xinhua, adding that members of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) could apply to join the AIIB.
The bank, headquartered in Beijing, now has 57 members. China, India and Russia are the three largest shareholders, taking a 30.34 percent, 8.52 percent, 6.66 percent stake, respectively. Their voting shares are calculated at 26.06 percent, 7.5 percent and 5.92 percent.
"China is not deliberately seeking a veto power," its stake and voting share in the initial stage are the "natural outcome" of current rules, and may be diluted as more members join, China's Vice Finance Minister Shi Yaobin said in an interview with Xinhua.
