The China-initiated Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), a complement to existing international financial system, was formally established Friday in Beijing and expected to start operation early next year.
由中國倡議設立的亞洲基礎設施投資銀行（AIIB），是現有國際金融體系的一個補充，于星期五（12月25日）在北京正式成立，預計明年初開始運作。
"The AIIB is legally established as the Articles of Agreement take effect today," said Lou Jiwei, China's Minister of Finance.
中國財政部部長樓繼偉說，“《亞投行協定》今天生效，標志著亞洲基礎設施投資銀行(以下簡稱亞投行)今天正式成立。”
The Articles of Agreement outlines the financial share of each founding member as well as rules for policymaking, governance structure, and business and operational systems for the bank. It became effective once the legislatures of 17 members, who hold a combined 50.1 percent stake in the bank, ratified the agreement.
《亞投行協定》概述了每個創始成員國的財政份額以及決策機制、支配結構、業務運營等規則。星期五，17個創始成員國的立法機構提交了協定的批準書，且它們的股份總和占比達50.1%，《亞投行協定》即告生效。
The establishment of the AIIB marks a milestone in the reform of global economic governance system, Lou said.
樓部長表示，這是國際經濟治理體系改革進程中具有里程碑意義的重大事件。
The AIIB will be operational after board of directors and executive council meet for the first time. The meetings are slated to run from Jan. 16 to 18 in Beijing, according to Lou. The bank's president will be officially appointed and the management team will be in place at the meetings.
據樓部長稱，亞投行理事會和董事會成立大會計劃于2016年1月16日至18日在北京舉行，大會上將選舉出亞投行行長和管理團隊，之后亞投行將開始運營。
The bank will start recruiting new members, Jin Liqun, the bank's president-designate, said in an interview with Xinhua, adding that members of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) could apply to join the AIIB.
亞投行候任行長金立群在接受新華社記者專訪時表示，銀行將開始招募新成員，并補充說，亞投行新成員資格將向國際復興開發銀行和亞洲開發銀行（ADB）成員開放。
The bank, headquartered in Beijing, now has 57 members. China, India and Russia are the three largest shareholders, taking a 30.34 percent, 8.52 percent, 6.66 percent stake, respectively. Their voting shares are calculated at 26.06 percent, 7.5 percent and 5.92 percent.
總部設在北京的亞投行，現有57名成員國。中國，印度和俄羅斯是亞投行三個最大的股東，他們股份占比分別是 30.34%，8.52%，和6.66%。他們的基礎投票權依次為26.06%，7.5%，和5.92%。
"China is not deliberately seeking a veto power," its stake and voting share in the initial stage are the "natural outcome" of current rules, and may be diluted as more members join, China's Vice Finance Minister Shi Yaobin said in an interview with Xinhua.
中國財政部副部長史耀斌告訴新華社記者，“中國無意謀求一票否決權。”它的股份和基礎投票權比例是據當前協定的相關規則計算的，是其“經濟總量使然”，今后隨著新成員的加入，比例會相應的稀釋。
