These developments are reflected in the recent alternative structures being established by selected countries. Brazil, Russia, India and China in 2014 set up the New Development Bank, the so-called BRICs Bank, which is intended to lend up to $34 billion globally, particularly for infrastructure projects. In the same year, together with 20 other countries, China created the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank for the Asia-Pacific region. Much as a retreat from global multilateralism is worrisome, stronger regional multilateralism is not necessarily a bad thing, as regional solutions to regional problems can be consistent with global governance structures. As already noted, although economic integration is not often explicitly targeted, it binds nations more closely together politically. Some observers see the current push for RCEP as a means to restore trust in Asia, stabilize security situations and find solutions at a regional level to other ongoing problems.
