International Investment Bank (IIB) is a multilateral development institution with headquarters in Budapest, Hungary. It was established in 1970 and operates as an international organisation based on the intergovernmental Agreement Establishing the International Investment Bank dated 10 June 1970, registered with the United Nations Secretariat on 1 December 1971 under number 11417, as amended and restated from time to time.

The IIB’s mission is to facilitate connectivity and integration between the economies of the Bank’s member states in order to ensure sustainable and inclusive growth and the competitiveness of national economies, backed by the existing historical ties.

IIB specialises in medium- and long-term financing of projects aimed at supporting the economies of its members that would have a significant positive social, economic and environmental impact.

The Bank offers direct financing and provides loans in partnership with other financial institutions as well as through partner banks.

The following countries are the Bank’s members: the Republic of Cuba, Mongolia, the Russian Federation and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

IIB operates in its member states and can also finance projects in other countries, if the implementation of such projects would have a significant positive impact on the Bank’s members.

IIB is an international financial organisation. Its goal is to promote the economic development of the member states, develop export and import operations, and stimulate trade and economic ties between them. Unlike commercial banks, making profit is not the Bank’s main priority.

As an international organisation, the Bank is not subject to national banking and other regulations; it enjoys immunities and privileges and inter alia is exempt from paying taxes on the territories of its member states. The IIB’s activities are regulated by the Bank’s statutory documents, namely, the Agreement Establishing the International Investment Bank dated 10 June 1970, registered with the United Nations Secretariat on 1 December 1971 under number 11417, as amended and restated from time to time, together with the Bank’s Charter, which is an integral part of the Agreement, that constitutes an international treaty, bilateral agreements between the Bank and the member states, applicable international law, as well as other regulatory documents of the Bank.

Appointment of a new Chairperson lies within the responsibilities of the Board of Governors.

A distinguishing characteristic of IIB as an international organisation is its supranational status. The Bank has members from Asia, Europe and Latin America. International financial institutions from other countries that share the IIB’s aims and operating principles and assume the obligations arising out of the Agreement Establishing the IIB may be accepted as members of the Bank.

States, international financial institutions, banking, economic and financial organisations and funds that share the IIB’s mission, aims, values and objectives may participate in the IIB’s activities as an associate member, associate partner or observer.

The Board of Governors is the Bank’s supreme collective governing body, consisting of representatives from the IIB’s member states. The Board of Directors is responsible for the general management of the Bank. The Bank’s executive body is the Management Board, whose members are appointed by the Board of Governors. The Bank’s activities are controlled by the Audit Committee, which is made up of representatives from the IIB’s member states appointed by the Board of Governors. The Bank’s financial statements are confirmed by a half-year compliance audit review and an annual audit conducted by international auditors EY.
