2013年9月26日，北京

根据2005年4月中印双方签署的《关于启动中印财金对话机制的谅解备忘录》，双方分别于2006年4月、2007年12月、2009年1月、2010年9月和2011年11月成功举行了五次中印财金对话。第六次中印财金对话于2013年9月26日在北京举行。

在此次对话中，双方就全球经济面临的新挑战、中印宏观经济形势和政策、中印结构性改革取得的进展、双方在多边框架下的合作以及双边财金合作等议题进行了深入讨论。双方一致同意加强各层级官员之间就宏观经济政策和重大国际经济金融问题的经常性沟通与协调。

宏观经济形势和政策

双方认识到，全球经济复苏仍然十分脆弱，下行风险依然很大，金融市场波动加剧。发达经济体增长有所起色，需要就其非常规货币政策调整的节奏和时机与新兴经济体进行协调，并加强与市场的沟通，以避免产生负面溢出效应。新兴经济体整体继续保持增长，但其中一些国家步伐放缓。在此形势下，中印两国呼吁加强国际经济政策协调，特别是在执行二十国集团为促进增长和就业所采取的政策措施方面，以推动世界经济强劲、可持续和平衡增长。

中印宏观经济政策和结构改革

双方认识到，实施恰当的宏观经济政策、持续推进结构改革对于改善经济长期增长前景具有重要意义。当前中国经济运行总体平稳，结构调整取得新的进展，消费平稳增长，价格基本稳定，就业形势较好，具备经济持续健康发展的基础条件。在财政政策方面，着力调整支出结构、压缩行政开支，支持结构调整和保障民生，对小微企业实施税收优惠。在货币政策方面，既不放松也不收紧银根，加强流动性管理。中国政府将坚持稳中求进，坚持宏观经济政策的连续性、稳定性，提高针对性、协调性，根据经济形势变化，适时适度进行预调微调。中国将不断深化改革开放，推进经济转型升级，不断释放内需潜力，激发市场活力，提高经济发展的质量和效益。尽管全球经济持续低迷，但印度经济基本面保持强劲。印度采取了坚定的宏观经济和财政管理政策，以实现包容发展和经济持续较快增长的双重目标。印度2013-2014联邦预算更新了政府对财政责任的承诺，并包含了大量旨在促进投资、控制通胀、建设高质量基础设施以及确保贫困人口享有综合社会保障的措施。政府继续采取措施提升制造业业绩。在最近的一次审查中，政府还取消了若干行业中关于外国直接投资（FDI）的上限。印度储备银行也采取了若干货币政策措施。去年坚持推进经济改革的效果已经开始显现，全部效果最终将在GDP的整体增长中得到体现。印度继续致力于加强和深化改革进程。双方同意努力挖掘在各自结构改革中的合作契机。

在多边框架下的合作

双方一致认为，两国在二十国集团（G20）、金砖国家和国际金融机构等多边框架下进行了有效的协调，同意共同努力，推动落实G20圣彼得堡峰会达成的重要共识，增强全球复苏势头，推动更快增长，促进更好就业，巩固长期增长基础。双方同意与金砖国家其他成员国加强合作，推动下一次金砖国家领导人会晤在金砖开发银行和应急储备安排两项倡议上取得实质成果。双方致力于继续推动国际金融机构改革，敦促有关国家尽快履行承诺，实施2010年国际货币基金组织份额和治理改革，并在2014年1月之前完成下一轮份额总检查。双方敦促国际金融机构增加对发展中国家的贷款支持，以扩大全球总需求。

双边财金合作

双方认识到两国加强财政和金融合作对于扩大双边贸易与投资的重要性，同意继续保持密切交流，为拓展双边财金合作创造更多机会、营造更好环境。双方金融监管机构就对外资银行准入的监管政策等议题进行了交流，同意支持两国银行到对方国家开设分支机构，并支持两国金融机构深化合作，特别是在基础设施投资和融资领域。

双方重申其强化中印财金对话机制、加强合作、深化互信和促进双边财金交流与合作的承诺，并一致同意于2014年在新德里举行第七次中印财金对话。

Joint Statement

　　The Sixth China-India Financial Dialogue

　　Beijing, September 26, 2013

Based on the MoU on ‘Launching the Financial Dialogue between the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of India’ signed in April, 2005, the two sides have successfully held five rounds of dialogues in April of 2006, December of 2007, January of 2009, September of 2010 and November of 2011. The Sixth China-India Financial Dialogue was held on September 26, 2013 in Beijing.

During this Dialogue, the two sides held in-depth discussions on new challenges facing the global economy, macro-economic situations and policies in China and India, progress on structural reforms in both countries, cooperation under multilateral frameworks as well as bilateral financial cooperation. Both sides agreed to strengthen regular communication and coordination at various levels on macro-economic policies and major international economic and financial issues.

Macro-economic situation and policy

Both sides recognized that global economic recovery was still fragile with downside risks remaining high. Volatility in financial markets has also intensified. With growth picking up in advanced economies, there is a need for them to collaborate with Emerging Market Economies (EMEs) on the pace and timing of recalibration of their unconventional monetary policies and strengthen communication with the market to avoid negative spillovers. As a group, the EMEs have continued to grow but the pace of growth has slowed in several countries. Under these circumstances, China and India called for greater international coordination on economic policies, particularly in the implementation of policy measures adopted by the G20 to boost growth and employment for promoting strong, sustainable and balanced growth of the world economy.

Macro economic policy and structural reform in China and India

Both sides recognized the importance of sound macro-economic policies and sustained structural reforms for improving long-term growth prospects. The overall economic situation in China is stable and has the foundations to sustain sound development as new progress has been made in structural adjustment, consumption has realized steady growth, prices have maintained stability and employment situation has remained sound. The fiscal policy has focused on adjusting the expenditure structure, reducing administrative spending, supporting structural adjustment and improvement of people’s well-being, and providing tax incentives to small and micro enterprises. With enhanced liquidity management, the monetary policy has neither been relaxed nor tightened. The Chinese government will continue to strive for economic development while maintaining stability, and keeping the continuity and stability of the macroeconomic policies as well as making these policies more targeted and coordinated. The government will also fine-tune the policies at an appropriate time and by an appropriate degree according to changes in the economic performance. China will constantly deepen reform and opening up, promote economic transformation and upgrading, release domestic demand potential, stimulate market vitality and enhance the quality and efficiency of the economic development.

Notwithstanding the persistence of global economic meltdown, India’s economic fundamentals remain strong. India has adopted bold macro-economic and fiscal management policies that seek to attain the twin objectives of inclusive development and high, sustained economic growth. The Union Budget (2013-14) renewed the Government’s commitment towards fiscal responsibility. It also incorporated a slew of measures aimed at boosting investments, controlling inflation, creating high quality infrastructure and ensuring comprehensive social security for the poor. The Government is continuously undertaking initiative to improve the performance of the manufacturing sector. In a recent review of this, the Government has also liberalized several sectoral caps in FDI. Several monetary measures have already been taken by the Reserve Bank of India. The effects of persistent economic reforms undertaken in the last year have started to manifest and the full effect will eventually be seen in the overall GDP growth. India remains committed towards strengthening and deepening its reform process.

The two sides agreed to actively explore opportunities for cooperation in the process of their respective structural reforms.

Cooperation under multilateral frameworks

Both sides acknowledged the effectiveness of bilateral coordination under multilateral frameworks such as the G-20, BRICS and international financial institutions. Both sides agreed to work together to promote the implementation of the important consensus reached in the G-20 St. Petersburg summit, strengthen the momentum of global recovery, push for faster economic growth, generate better jobs, and build on the foundation for long-term growth. Both countries agreed to intensify cooperation with other BRICS member countries towards tangible results on the initiatives on BRICS Development Bank and Contingency Reserve Arrangement in the next BRICS summit. Both sides are committed to pushing forward reforms in the international financial institutions and urge other countries to fulfill their commitment of implementing the 2010 IMF Quota and Governance Reform expeditiously and to complete the next general quota review by January 2014. Both sides urged the international financial institutions to increase their lending capacity to developing countries so as to expand the global aggregate demand.

Bilateral financial cooperation

Both sides recognized the importance of strengthened fiscal and financial cooperation in the expansion of bilateral trade and investment. The two sides agreed to maintain close communication, and work for more opportunities and better environment to enhance bilateral financial cooperation. Financial regulators from both countries exchanged views on market access regulation policies for foreign banks, agreed to support banks to establish branches and subsidiaries in each other’s market, and advocated deeper cooperation between financial institutions from the two countries, especially in areas of infrastructure investment and financing.

Both sides reiterated their commitment to strengthen the China-India Financial Dialogue, enhance mutual cooperation, deepen mutual trust, and promote bilateral fiscal and financial communication and cooperation. Both sides agreed to hold the 7th India-China Financial Dialogue in 2014 in New Delhi.
