Yellen: Russia's war weighs on the economy, let's watch China

The most destabilizing factor remains Moscow’s aggression against Kiev, which “led to higher food and energy prices and we are aware of the risks to global growth.” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen speaks on the eve of the G20 summit in New Delhi, “The most important thing we can do for global growth is for Russia to end its brutal war against Ukraine,” he said. As for China, Yellen noted in her meeting with the media in New Delhi that “there is a slowdown in the economy” which “requires adjustment policies. We are monitoring it, but I do not see any major impacts on the United States.”

The United States intends to work at the G20 summit to “create support for increased lending resources for the IMF and World Bank” with the goal of “helping member countries address multiple global challenges,” including new resources in IMF shares. Yellen said she would try to create conditions for a “proportionate” increase in IMF quota funds paid by member states, which would increase the institution’s lending resources, but would not change immediately. shareholding structure. Yellen added, in a press conference broadcast live in New Delhi, that she would spend the money on alleviating the debt burden of poor countries, a topic she emphasizes at every international meeting, especially where the largest bilateral lender in the world, China, is present. The Council further noted that “we continue to support efforts to provide predictable, orderly and timely debt relief to countries, including under the Common Debt Addressing Framework (G20), where progress has been very slow.”
