Union Minister for Finance & Corporate Affairs Smt. @nsitharaman participated in the virtual meeting on Global Convergence for Growth Summit, from New Delhi, today.
The Summit was held to bring together leaders of advanced and emerging economies to discuss ways of supporting a balanced growth anchored in an efficient global framework. French President H.E. Mr. @EmmanuelMacron presided over the Summit that witnessed participation of the top leadership from all the G7 nations, India, Brazil, China, Kenya, South Korea and IMF.
During her intervention at the Summit representing India, FM Smt. @nsitharaman said, “In today’s interconnected world, prosperity and challenges are shared, but the consequences of conflicts and uncertainty fall disproportionately on developing countries and the Global South. The situation demands coordinated global action. We must strengthen multilateral cooperation to build resilient economies, accelerate sustainable development, and ensure inclusive growth that benefits all.”
On the issue of global imbalances, the Union Finance Minister said, “Not all imbalances are alike, some reflect differences in demographics, development stages, resource endowments, or economic structures. Our focus should, therefore, remain on excessive and persistent imbalances while recognising that the scale of domestic needs varies significantly across countries.”
Speaking for the Global South, FM Smt. @nsitharaman further said, “The burden of adjustment should not fall disproportionately on countries that are not the drivers of these imbalances. India, like many developing economies, remains largely peripheral to both the origination and propagation of global imbalances; yet, we continue to face their spillover effects.”
Highlighting India's remarkable economic progress in recent years through the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi, and India’s commitment to the mantra of Reform, Perform, and Transform, the Union Finance Minister said, “Our growth is primarily domestic-demand led, with a largely market-determined exchange rate. India continues to be among the world’s fastest-growing major economies, with GDP growth projected to remain robust at around 7 percent over the medium term.”
FM Smt. @nsitharaman emphasised the need to strengthen confidence in multilateral institutions and ensure that they remain responsive to the needs of developing countries. She called for better, bigger, more effective and more representative Multilateral Development Banks that can deliver significantly greater financing to developing countries and emerging economies, noting that enhancing their financing capacity, operational agility and responsiveness will be critical.
The Union Finance Minister stated that the recent developments have highlighted the importance of resilient, diversified and geographically distributed supply chains, particularly for critical minerals, and focus on circularity, recycling and urban mining can address some of the sourcing challenges being collectively faced by the world.
India remains committed to working with all partners to build a more resilient, inclusive and prosperous global economy, and to advance shared solutions for shared growth, FM Smt. @nsitharaman said while concluding her remarks.
Under India’s chairship of the BRICS YTP Working Group, a virtual meeting on Best Practices on Modern Tax Administration was convened, bringing together experts from Egypt, Brazil, Russia and India to share experiences and innovations shaping modern tax administration. The discussion enabled a meaningful exchange of experiences on advancing more efficient, digital, and taxpayer-centric tax systems.
India presented its experience in modern tax administration, highlighting a shift towards trust-based, technology-enabled governance and taxpayer-centric service delivery. Key initiatives such as the NUDGE campaign and SAKSHAM showcased the use of data-driven, non-intrusive interventions to promote voluntary compliance, alongside broader reforms focused on simplification, digitalization and ease of doing business.
Reaffirming its role in fostering international tax cooperation, India remains committed to promoting knowledge exchange, strengthening collaboration, and supporting capacity building across BRICS countries.
