IMF Chief Economist Pierre-Olivier Gourinches said it would be difficult for India, which will chair the G20 summit next year, to bring countries together on some of the world's biggest challenges.
Gourinchas told PTI in an interview, "As we have seen, a challenge for the G20 (G20 Summit in India) right now is how to deal with the geo-economic fragmentation and the fragmentation of the geo-economy only reflects this fact. Shows that we have seen great tension after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
This challenge will be for India in G-20
Replying to a question, the Speaker said, in the present environment, due to all the tensions related to geopolitical considerations, to some extent, the G20 (G20 Summit) finds it difficult to have such discussions around common objects. Thus India will face a daunting task, but one of the most important objectives will be to bring all countries together, to continue discussions, and maintain progress on important issues.
Great progress can be made from the G20
Describing the G-20 (India Host G20 Summit) as a very important institution, Mr. Gowrynchas said that the grouping is a place where there is governance that represents the majority of the global economy. It is not just a group of rich countries. It is something that has many voices. He said that a lot of progress can be made from the G20.
One of the things that we often talk about in the context of the G20 is the general framework, he said. This is a very important initiative. It is still finding its feet. We are disappointed by the lack of progress on the general framework at times in the Fund. But it's a really important initiative that can be done at the global community level, coming together and finding ways to address sustainability problems, the chief economist said, something that the IMF is very closely concerned with. is watching.
That said, the whole issue of the emergence of digital currencies, and crypto assets, how is it getting stable, and volatile? How should we be? There are huge externalities on a global scale regarding the emergence of these new devices. So how are we as a global community, should we organize this space? Gaurynchus said, should we regulate it? How should it be regulated? The cross-border aspect is going to be very important. So it's a normal good.
India will have to invest in these areas: IMF
The Chief Economist of the IMF said that India will have to take some concrete steps to become a USD 10 trillion economies. He said that investments are happening here in buildings and roads, but if there is an investment in human resources, human capital, health, education, etc., then India will move forward rapidly.
India is doing better than many countries
Pierre Olivier Gourinchas said that India is one of the largest economies. So, when it's growing at solid rates like 6.8 or 6.1, it's noticeable. In a picture where all other economies and advanced economies rarely grow at that pace, if India is still doing well, it is a good sign.
