France and Germany are to join the UK in becoming
members of a Chinese-led Asian development bank. The finance ministries of both
countries confirmed on Tuesday that they would be applying for membership of
the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB). Last week, the US issued a
rare rebuke to the UK over its decision to become a member of the AIIB. "There
will be times when we take a different approach," a spokesperson for Prime
Minister David Cameron said about the rare rebuke from the US. The US considers
the AIIB a rival to the Western-dominated World Bank. The UK was the first
Western economy to apply for membership of the bank. But German finance
minister Wolfgang Schaeuble confirmed on Tuesday that his country would also be
applying for membership. France's finance ministry confirmed it would be
joining the bank. It is believed Italy also intends to join. March 17; http://www.bbc.com/news/business-31921011
