Demystifying the AIIB: Implications for China, Japan & the U.S.

Japan Society and China Institute co-present this panel discussion on the newly established Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), an ambitious initiative by China that aims to provide financing for infrastructure projects in Asia. While 57 countries have submitted their applications to join the AIIB as founding members, the U.S. and Japan have refrained, citing the bank’s unclear governance and a lack of transparency. Should the U.S. and Japan join the AIIB despite their reservations? In this panel discussion, we invite experts in global finance to discuss the outlook for China’s new $100 billion bank, and how the U.S. and Japan should engage with it.

Panelists:
Dr. Masahiro Kawai, Professor, Graduate School of Public Policy, University of Tokyo; former Dean & CEO, the Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI)

Dr. Eisuke Sakakibara, Professor, Aoyama Gakuin University; President, the Institute for Indian Economic Studies; former Japanese Vice Minister of Finance

Dr. He Fan, Former Deputy Director of the Institute of World Economics and Politics, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences; Senior Research Fellow at the China Finance 40 Forum; Senior Economics Fellow at the Institute for New Economic Thinking
