Jin Liqun talks to the media

"It is important that you not just have something brilliant on paper, it is important to implement it. ... As president of the bank, I will ensure that the oversight mechanism is implemented without any compromise. ... I want to make sure all policies are implemented well and make sure the oversight mechanism is implemented without any compromise. We have the confidence to tell the world that we mean what we say."

"It is important for me, as the first president, to set a good stage and build a good corporate culture. A good corporate culture is crucial because if you have a good system, the people who work here will have to uphold good standards. This is far more important than just giving out loans."

"The AIIB is a member of the multilateral development banks community, so it should not be much different from other banks. However, the way we manage the bank will be different. We have no business copying existing institutions. Our objective is to build on the successful experience of other banks to create a great new bank. The AIIB will also learn from successful private companies."
