Abstract

The BRICS New Development Bank (NDB) and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) share some similar features. They are initiated and created by emerging economies and promote infrastructure investment and global governance reform as two institutional mandates. However, their operational modalities and approaches are different. NDB is a borrowing-country-led multilateral development bank (MDB); while AIIB’s operation is donor-country-oriented.
