Communiqué Of The Twenty-Seventh Meeting Of The International Monetary And Financial Committee - Chaired By Mr. Tharman Shanmugaratnam, Deputy Prime Minister Of Singapore And Minister For Finance

Date 20/04/2013

Policy actions have defused key short-term risks. An uneven recovery is emerging but growth and job creation are still too weak. New risks are arising while several old risks remain. We need to act decisively to nurture a sustainable recovery and restore the resilience of the global economy. Financial sector repair and reform remain a priority. Advanced economies need to balance supporting domestic demand with reforms to tackle structural weaknesses that weigh on growth, while implementing credible fiscal plans. Emerging market and developing economies that are experiencing relatively high growth should begin to rebuild policy space while those exposed to volatile capital flows should avoid financial vulnerabilities. We welcome the directions set forth in the Managing Director’s Global Policy Agenda.
