曼谷 – 国际货币基金组织成员国呼吁增加对因战争和高能源价格导致的负面溢出效应而面临短期融资挑战的国家的支持,并表示经济风险仍偏向下行。
BANGKOK – International Monetary Fund member countries called for increasing support to countries that are facing short-term financing challenges caused by negative spillovers from wars and high energy prices, and said economic risks remain tilted to the downside.
而尽管“先进智能技术”推动了投资和贸易的增长,但它们也带来了风险,国际货币和金融委员会(IMFC)主席在曼谷会议后发表的一份声明中表示。
And while there has been a boost to investment and trade from “advanced intelligence technologies”, they also carried risks, the chair of the International Monetary and Financial Committee (IMFC) said in a statement after a meeting in Bangkok.
“冲突升级和贸易紧张局势可能进一步扰乱关键贸易路线,加剧大宗商品价格压力,包括精炼能源产品,并恶化能源和粮食安全,”沙特财政部长穆罕默德·阿尔-贾丹在声明中表示,他是IMFC的主席。IMFC是191个成员国危机贷款机构的主要指导委员会。阿尔-贾丹告诉路透社,声明的措辞得到了所有成员的一致同意。
“Escalating conflicts and trade tensions could further disrupt critical trade routes, exacerbate commodity price pressures, including in refined energy products, and worsen energy and food security,” said the statement issued by Saudi Finance Minister Mohammed Al-Jadaan, the chair of the IMFC. The IMFC is the main steering committee for the 191-member crisis lender. Al-Jadaan told Reuters that the language of the statement was agreed by all members.
本周早些时候,美国正在敦促其他IMF成员国在声明中将人工智能更名为“超级智能”,以符合美国总统唐纳德·特朗普对该技术的首选名称,一位美国财政部高级官员告诉路透社。主席声明的最终版本中没有提及人工智能。
Earlier this week, the United States was pressing fellow IMF members to rename artificial intelligence as “super intelligence” in the statement, in line with US President Donald Trump’s preferred name for the technology, a senior US Treasury official told Reuters. The final version of the chair’s statement contained no reference to artificial intelligence.
声明称,“先进智能技术”的不确定影响,以及主要经济体债券收益率上升并溢出到高负债经济体的情况,“可能会放大宏观金融脆弱性”。
It said the uncertain impact of “advanced intelligence technologies”, along with rising bond yields in major economies that spill over to highly indebted economies, “could amplify macro-financial vulnerabilities”.
“快速的技术变革、人口结构变化、更频繁的极端天气事件和自然灾害,以及地缘经济碎片化正在叠加政策权衡,”声明称。
“Rapid technological change, demographic shifts, more frequent extreme weather events and natural disasters, and geoeconomic fragmentation are compounding policy trade-offs,” the statement said.
成员经济体同意支持实施改革和应对债务脆弱性的国家,特别关注低收入和脆弱的中等收入国家以及受冲突影响的国家。
The member economies agreed to support countries that undertake reforms and address debt vulnerabilities, with specific attention to low-income and vulnerable middle-income countries and conflict-affected states.
声明称:“我们鼓励加大对债务可持续、拥有强有力改革和增长促进议程,但面临短期融资挑战的国家的支持,”并指出,多名成员已保证支持国际货币基金组织的减贫与增长信托,该信托为贫穷和发展中国家提供支持。
“We encourage increasing support to countries with sustainable debt and strong reform and growth enhancing agenda, but facing short-term financing challenges,” the statement said, noting that several members had provided assurances of support to the IMF’s Poverty Reduction and Growth Trust, which supports poor and developing countries.
