O impacto do AIIB na economia política indiana: um estudo de caso sobre a atuação do banco no país sul-asiático (2016-2022)

Abstract

Created as a Chinese initiative in 2014, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is one of the new multi-state development banks responsible for financially assisting countries with high development potential. Its focus has been on providing financial support to states to carry out infrastructure works in sectors ranging from basic sanitation to urban mobility logistics. India is the country that has requested the most funding between 2016 and 2022. As a country with reasonable growth rates in both population and GDP, the need for structural investment in India is not surprising. The purpose of this article is to expose AIIB financing for the Indian Republic, analyzing the projects approved in the country. The aim is to understand multilateral financing as an economic tool for development in India. The exploratory research analyzes the projects approved by the AIIB between 2016 and 2022, listing their main characteristics and discussing their impacts on the Indian scenario.
