Participating online at the second meeting of BRICS Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors (FMCBG) chaired by China, he said that BRICS needs to engage in dialogue and exchange experiences, concerns, and ideas for sustainable and inclusive reconstruction. The facility should continue to serve as a platform.

Apart from this, BRICS Finance Ministers and Governors of Central Banks also discussed financial issues like Infrastructure Investment, New Development Bank, and BRICS Contingency Reserve Arrangement (CRA).
