I believe very much so. I haven't worked at the World Bank or the EBRD, or these other places, but from what I understand.... MDBs are not like competitors with each other. It's a very small town. Everyone's very friendly. It's very clubby.
I understand through what I hear from different people that based on what I have shared, the top-down strongman system at the AIIB was far more pronounced than what you would get from the Japanese president of the ADB in Manila, or the World Bank in Washington, D.C.
That's what I hear. I was at the bank for 15 months, so I can't pretend to be an expert on that.
