Leaders of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa launch a $100bn development bank
The New Development Bank, announced at the sixth BRICS summit in
Fortaleza, Brazil, will fund infrastructure projects in the founding
members' countries, as well as in developing nations.
With its headquarters in Shanghai, China, and someone from India
expected to be its first president, the bank will start out with $50bn
in capital, with each BRICS country contributing an equal amount.
Total capital is expected to eventually double to $100bn.
A so-called Contingent Reserve Arrangement will also be created, in
which each country will put in a designated amount in case of a currency
crisis.
The contingency fund will amount to $100bn, with China contributing
$41bn, followed by Brazil, Russia, and India putting in $18bn each, and
South Africa chipping in $5b
