By Jorgelina do Rosario and Haslinda Amin Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh got a thumbs-up from the head of the International Monetary Fund for taking the pursuit of price stability seriously.
IMF总裁克里斯塔利娜·格奥尔基耶娃（Kristalina Georgieva）周三在接受彭博电视记者哈斯林达·阿明（Haslinda Amin）采访时表示：“我想赞扬他。他发出了明确信号，表明物价稳定是美联储的优先事项，美联储不仅会在口头上，更会在行动上追求这一目标。”上个月，美联储为遏制通胀上调了基准利率，这是自2023年7月以来的首次加息，此举无视了唐纳德·特朗普总统要求降低借贷成本的施压。
“I want to praise him,” IMF’s Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said Wednesday in an interview with Bloomberg Television’s Haslinda Amin. “He sent a clear signal that price stability is a priority for the Fed and that the Fed would pursue it, not only with words but also with actions.”The Fed raised the benchmark interest rates last month to curb inflation, its first rate increase since July 2023, in defiance of pressure from President Donald Trump to lower borrowing costs.
格奥尔基耶娃还表示，美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特（Scott Bessent）关于减少赤字的言论“令人鼓舞”，但美国——以及法国、日本和意大利——必须采取行动，以降低其高企的债务和预算赤字。
Georgieva also said that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s statements on reducing the deficit are “encouraging,” though the US — along with France, Japan and Italy — must take action to reduce their high debts and budget deficits.
她在谈及支出和债务问题时表示：“在这种环境下，不能再拖延了。他们需要行动。”格奥尔基耶娃补充说，由于长期保持财政纪律，德国是一个“令人高兴的例外”。
“In this environment, delay no more,” she said on spending and debt. “They need to act.”Georgieva added that Germany is a “happy exception” due to a long history of fiscal discipline.
当天早些时候，这位总部位于华盛顿的机构负责人在演讲中敦促各国应对失衡的人工智能热潮、持续的能量冲击以及创纪录的债务堆积。
In a speech earlier in the day, the head of the Washington-based lender urged nations to address the unbalanced AI boom, a prolonged energy shock and record debt piles.
格奥尔基耶娃将于下周在曼谷主持IMF与世界银行年会，届时全球政策制定者将齐聚一堂。
Georgieva will host the annual IMF-World Bank meetings in Bangkok next week, which gathers global policymakers.
