Xi calls for 'fair, inclusive' economic growth

The developed economies should pay more attention to, and work to minimize, the impact of their monetary and fiscal policies on the emerging and developing economies. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) should conclude the 15th General Quota Review expeditiously, he added.

The IMF has planned to complete the review, based on which shares of different countries are expected to be adjusted in line with their changing economic position, by its 2019 spring meetings and no later than the 2019 annual meetings.

Xi also urged that the global monetary system should be made more diversified to build a stronger global financial security net.

The president said the world should encourage innovation to achieve deep-level integration between the digital economy and the real economy; meanwhile, attention should also be paid to risks and challenges that arise from innovation. He suggested that the G20 should put in more resources to study application of new technologies and its ramifications.

Xi stressed that the many problems facing the world today are, in essence, related to the issue of development and, therefore, development should be at the core of global macro policy coordination; the world economies should seriously implement the 2030 sustainable development agenda, which includes 17 major goals, and provide strong support for achieving those goals under the framework of the UN, he said.

The development interests and space of the developing countries should be protected to ensure "truly equitable" growth and efforts should be made to support infrastructure construction and inter-connectivity in Africa, he added.

Xi said that China, as a beneficiary of reform and opening-up, will continue to push a new round of reform and economic opening-up, deepen market reform, protect intellectual property rights, encourage fair competition, and increase imports.

While safeguarding its legitimate interests, China is willing to strengthen cooperation with other countries and resolve their differences in a constructive manner, the president said.

The two-day G20 Summit has brought together 38 leaders of major world economies and international organizations to discuss ways to fight protectionism and improve global economic governance.
