Let X=G/B be the full flag variety associated to a symmetrizable Kac-Moody group G. Let T be the maximal torus of G. The T-equivariant K-theory of X has a certain natural basis defined as the dual of the structure sheaves of the Schubert varieties. We show that under this basis, the structure constants are polynomials with nonnegative coefficients.
