Why have the BRICS New Development Bank (NDB) and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), both created by emerging economies, taken different operational approaches? The NDB has adopted a borrowing country-oriented and South-South cooperation modality, and the AIIB has chosen a donor country-oriented modality similar to existing multilateral development banks. This talk will explore the differences and explain why the two financial institutions are so different, which has some implications for the ongoing process of global governance reform.
