Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman attended the Plenary Meeting of the International Monetary and Financial Committee of the International Monetary Fund, IMF through video conferencing. The discussions at the meeting were based on IMF Managing Director’s Global Policy Agenda titled – Bolstering the Recovery, Countering Divergence.
Mrs Sitharaman emphasized that the Global Policy Agenda’s suggestion to hasten the transition to a low-carbon economy for promoting growth that benefits all needs to be viewed in the context of its implications for the Emerging Market and Developing Economies and low-income economies.
