We began operations in Beijing in 2016 and have since grown to 111 approved members worldwide. We are capitalized at USD100 billion and AAA-rated by the major international credit rating agencies. Collaborating with partners, AIIB meets clients' needs by unlocking new capital and investing in infrastructure that is green, technology-enabled, and promotes regional connectivity.

The Sectors, Themes, and Finance Solutions Department (STF) fosters technical excellence and expands the Bank’s financing expertise across all sectors and themes to support both sovereign and nonsovereign investment operations. It spearheads the development and implementation of innovative investment projects and leads the introduction and operationalization of new products and financing modalities, often ahead of their mainstream adoption by the client departments (CDs).

- Identify emerging transport subsectors, technologies, and market gaps relevant to AIIB priorities and support their operationalization.
- Engage in dialogue with clients, cofinanciers, and stakeholders to identify business opportunities and support pipeline development.
- Undertake upstream studies and project definition work with CDs to originate new transport operations.
- Support the piloting and operationalization of new transport products and financing modalities prior to mainstreaming by CDs.
- Support cross-border connectivity and regional cooperation projects by identifying and integrating connectivity elements, including associated results indicators.
- Jointly identify bankable transport projects with CDs, including public-private partnerships and asset-recycling opportunities, to crowd in private capital.
- Advise clients on transport feasibility studies and sector/thematic analyses to support project preparation and processing.
- Review policy and regulatory frameworks, identify constraints, and formulate timebound policy actions for inclusion in climate-focused policy-based financing.
- Develop toolkits, guidance notes, and checklists to strengthen project readiness and implementation.
- Lead or contribute to transport-related knowledge products (policy notes, guidance notes, thematic studies) and curate relevant external knowledge.
- Support knowledge dissemination through internal learning events and maintain transport content on the STF knowledge hub.
- Support partnership development with multilateral development banks, development partners, industry, and research institutions.
- Prepare training materials to strengthen the capacity of AIIB staff and clients in transport project development and implementation.
