Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank to provide funds to boost Brazil's development
The parties discussed long-term co-operation
The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is ready to provide a large amount of funds to stimulate Brazil's economic and social development. This was announced by the bank's president Jin Liqun at a meeting with Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. BRICS Bank President Dilma Rousseff and Finance Minister Fernando Haddad also took part in the discussions.
An AIIB spokesman said the bank has already developed three projects for Brazil worth US$350 million. President Jin Liqun said the meeting only focused on intentions for long-term co-operation, including with the BRICS New Development Bank.
"Brazil is part of the AIIB, which invests in development projects outside Asia. We talked about the possibility of expanding the bank's investments and contribution to the economic and social development of our country"

Joao Paulo CapobiancoBrazilian Minister of the Environment and Climate Change"The BRICS countries have a very high level of responsibility because they share an important part of the world's biodiversity, landscapes, populations, food production and water resources. So, we have an opportunity to lead by example. We have our development bank, which can demonstrate and develop new ways of financing programmes. We can reduce the risks for private capital to invest in restoration and efforts to combat desertification"
