RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das has called upon G20 nations to resolutely address the challenges, like threats to financial stability and debt distress that confront the global economy.

RBI Governor Das addresses the inaugural session

While addressing the inaugural session of the meeting of G20 finance ministers and central bank governors, RBI Governor Das said although the outlook for the global economy has improved in recent months and there is now greater optimism that the world may avoid a deep recession and only experience slow growth or softer recession, “yet uncertainties lie ahead of us.”

“Together we must resolutely address the challenges that confront us, including those that are of medium to long-term nature such as a threat to financial stability, debt distress, climate finance, and fractures in global trade and strains on global value chains. We must promote greater global economic cooperation and position the global economy on a trajectory of strong sustainable balanced and inclusive growth,” he added.

This is the first meeting of the finance ministers and central bank governors of G20, which is a grouping of developing and developed nations. Currently, G20 is under the India Presidency.

Moreover, the RBI Governor said G20 is poised for a transformational journey and within the finance track; the effort will be to entrench unwavering faith in G20 as a multilateral forum to address challenges.
