The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) turns 10 today, Jan. 16, 2026. In its first decade, the Bank has approved nearly USD70 billion in 361 projects across 40 members, delivering infrastructure that improves the lives and livelihoods for millions of people across Asia and beyond. From roads and railways to power grids, digital networks and water systems, these investments have helped lay the foundations for sustainable and inclusive growth.
President Zou Jiayi marked the occasion by cutting a cake with staff at Bank headquarters—her first day at the helm of an institution entering its second decade.
The Bank looks ahead with renewed ambition – deepening development impact, strengthening partnerships and continuing to support members in addressing evolving development challenges through high-quality, sustainable infrastructure investment.
