BEIJING - The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) said it has found no evidence of undue influence on decisions taken by the Board of Directors or Management, according to the findings of its extensive internal review into recent allegations made by its former director-general of communications.

"The Internal Review found no evidence to support or validate the former director-general of communications' allegations," said General Counsel, Alberto Ninio, who led the internal review.

The Internal Review confirms that AIIB's governance structure functions as intended to deliver an apolitical, constructive, balanced and consensus-oriented decision culture, Ninio added.

"We are fortunate that AIIB's Board and Management have a strong and trusting working relationship. Transparency with our Board is of paramount importance to us," said Ludger Schuknecht, Vice-President and Corporate Secretary.
