New Delhi: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Thursday held a discussion with IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva and urged the multi-lateral funding agency to develop a globally co-ordinated approach to the regulation of crypto assets.
The Finance Minister held a virtual conversation with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) MD to discuss the upcoming G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors (FMCBG) meeting, scheduled to be held in Bengaluru later this month.
Sitharaman also thanked IMF for the support that it had been providing to the G20 Indian presidency on various work streams under the G20 FinanceTrack. The Finance Ministry in a series of tweets said Georgieva congratulated India on its strong economic performance in challenging global times and its role at the forefront of digitalisation of the economy, especially in the area of digital payments.
Both leaders expressed solidarity with those affected by the devastation in Turkey and Syria, the ministry said in a tweet.
"FM conveyed India's immediate support extended by Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi through deployment of NDRF @NDRFHQ and medical teams under #OperationDost," as per another tweet.
IMF MD appreciated India's contribution of $50 million for SARTTAC, Delhi, a partnership between IMF and India. This will further strengthen India and IMF's role in building capacity in the South Asia Region, she added.
"FM Smt. @nsitharaman told Ms. @KGeorgieva that India will continue to play its leadership role during the Presidency to strengthen #multilateralism and #GlobalGovernance for a peaceful, sustainable, and prosperous world for all," another tweet said.
