Speaking on CNBC, Carnegie’s Michael Pettis asserted that it is not yet clear how the governance structure of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is going to operate. Moreover, he argued that the popular narrative contending that the AIIB represents an unprecedented move by China is simply incorrect. He concluded by maintaining that the renminbi would become—at best—a minor reserve currency.
