Derisking global economy a key concern of G20 summit: EAM Jaishankar

The major concern of G20 would be to find ways of derisking the global economy, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Sunday. Delivering a talk here on India's year-long G20 Presidency, Jaishankar said the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led NDA government has tried to cushion the consumers as much as possible from petrol price increases and taken measures to keep inflation down. "Today, the world has learnt a lesson that security means not only physical security, not only economic security. It also means health security, food security. So, today we have to find a way of derisking the global economy, the way we would derisk a sector, the way we would derisk a business. That is a very major debate and I would say a very major concern of what the G20 would be looking at," he said. He further said there would be 15 ministerial-level meetings of G20 this year besides the President and Prime Minister-level conclaves in September. The COVID-19 pandemic has today left a very deep ..

G20 nations agree on the language to deal with debt vulnerabilities

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Sunday said the G20 nations have agreed on language to deal with the debt vulnerabilities of developing countries. The G20 Chair's Summary and Outcome Document issued after the meeting of the G20 Finance Ministers and central bank governors (FMCBG) meetings said the ministers recognised the urgency to address debt vulnerabilities in low and middle-income countries. "Strengthening multilateral coordination by official bilateral and private creditors is needed to address the deteriorating debt situation and facilitate coordinated debt treatment for debt-distressed countries," the outcome document said. Sitharaman said one of the successes under the first FMCBG meeting of the G20 India Presidency was to "arrive at a common position on debt language". "It is important for us to emphasise on that because the vulnerable countries are looking up to the G20 countries to find some solutions to arrive at a position where their debt stress can be relieve

G20 ends without a communique after no consensus on war in Ukraine

A meeting of finance leaders of the world's 20 biggest economies, referred as the group of 20 or G20, ended on Saturday without a joint communique after faultlines over how to describe Russia's invasion of Ukraine could not be bridged. Instead, a G20 Chair's Summary and Outcome Document were released after the two-day meeting of finance ministers and central bank governors here. Coinciding with the first anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, leaders from countries such as the US and France wanted a condemnation of Moscow for the invasion while host India felt G20 was not the forum to address such an issue and wanted a more neutral term like "crisis" or a "challenge" to describe the "geopolitical situation". Russia and China were upset at the use of the G20 platform for discussing political matters. India's Finance Miniter Nirmala Sitharaman is the chair. The Summary stated that the G20 nations "reiterated" their national positions on the Ukraine war. "Most members strongly
