Hockey has committed to contributing A$930-million as paid-in capital to the bank over the next five years, making Australia the sixth-largest shareholder in the Beijing-based organisation designed to help finance infrastructure projects across Asia. The AIIB will have paid-in capital of $20-billion with total authorised capital of $100-billion.
