Finance Minister Discusses Rising Commodity Prices Impact On Economy With IMF Chief
With the Russia-Ukraine conflict impacting global economy and India's economic growth likely to be affected due to the development, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Friday held a virtual meeting with International Monetary Fund (IMF) managing director Kristalina Georgieva and discussed various issues, including the impact of rising commodity prices on world economy.
They also discussed the 16th general review of quotas scheduled to be completed by 2023 and the need to ensure that under-representation of emerging markets and developing economies is addressed.
"FM Smt. @nsitharaman & Ms. @KGeorgieva, both expressed concern at diminishing focus & global supply of #Covid19 vaccines. FM highlighted India's achievement in successfully administering 1.79 bn doses while at the same time supplying 162.9 mn doses to countries in need," the finance ministry said in a series of tweets.
