AIIB critics 'talking garbage'

Former Treasury secretary Martin Parkinson has issued a blistering attack against mainly US and Japanese critics of the China-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank.

As Treasurer Joe Hockey attended a signing ceremony with representatives from 50 countries for the bank in Beijing, Dr Parkinson lashed out at complaints about the institution.

As head of Treasury and a key G20 negotiator, Dr Parkinson worked on the bank's creation.

He blasted the US and Japan for failing to support the initiative, which was partly triggered by the US Congress' failure to reform the International Monetary Fund.

"If people are going to keep saying the problem with the AIIB is a lack of transparency, they'd better start being concrete about it because it's absolute garbage," Dr Parkinson told the Crawford Australian Leadership Forum in Canberra hosted by the Australian National University and supported by The Australian Financial Review on Tuesday.

He said more changes to the structure of the investment bank could have been made with American and Japanese support.

"If it was good enough for Australia, South Korea, Canada and Great Britain, the last time I looked they were all allies of the US."

Dr Parkinson said China would have pushed for creation of the new institution "whether we like that or not".

Describing the IMF as created on rules that made it a "tool" of the US and Japanese, Dr Parkinson indicated that their failure to engage was a missed opportunity.

"We've had an emerging China wanting to change the rules of the capital markets, whether we like that or not."

He also slammed Congress for failing to adopt long-debated quota reforms at the Washington-based IMF.

"It's the failure of the Congress to deliver that is inhibiting US influence on the [Asian] region.

China is the bank's largest shareholder, with a 30.34 per cent stake, and Australia has become its sixth largest after a commitment of around $1 billion over five years.

While the Abbott government initially expressed concern about how the bank would be government, it joined the project earlier this year.

Geoff Raby, a former Australian ambassador to China that that country could have pursued the investment bank by itself.

Instead, "it chose to set itself up in a multilateral framework of rules," he said.

"China is changing and the change is starting to catch up with us. And that's why the Australian government was caught wrong-footed by the [bank proposal]."

AIIB is likely a success, even among rivals' views. World Bank, and ADB have taken AIIB as a potential partner. I reckon we don't need to wait too long, before we see the AIIB in action...Big Grin

RMB as reserve currency? I reckon you means RMB in the IMF’s Strategic Drawing Rights, or SDR. RMB in the IMF SDR, is a matter of time. I reckon soon we might see the approval, rather than waiting "long long". Big Grin
