印度储备银行副行长普南·古普塔周二表示,包括印度在内的新兴市场需要强化自身财政状况,并建立缓冲以应对外国资本的波动。
Emerging markets, including India, need to strengthen their finances and build buffers against volatile foreign capital, Reserve Bank of India Deputy Governor Poonam Gupta said Tuesday.
古普塔在孟买由《商业标准报》主办的一场活动上表示:“外部资金流动在很大程度上是反复无常的。”她补充说,这种波动性是新兴市场不得不应对的问题。“你要继续努力让国内财政变得更加强健,从而在宏观层面减少对外部融资的依赖。”尽管亚洲第三大经济体增长迅速,但外国资金已成为其越来越不可靠的融资来源,这加剧了卢比面临的压力。在截至3月的一年里,资本流入急剧减弱,迫使印度动用外汇储备来为外部赤字融资。
“External flows are, for most part, fickle,” Gupta said at an event hosted by the Business Standard newspaper in Mumbai. She added that such volatility is something emerging markets have to contend with. “You continue to work on your domestic finances becoming stronger, so that you reduce your dependence on external finance in a macro way.”Foreign money has become a less reliable source of financing for Asia’s third-largest economy despite its rapid growth, adding to pressure on the rupee. Capital inflows weakened sharply in the year through March, forcing India to dip into its foreign-exchange reserves to finance its external deficit.
卢比承受了大部分压力。它已从本月早些时候接近97的历史低点回升至约95.20卢比兑1美元,但今年仍下跌超过5.5%,成为亚洲表现最差的货币之一。
The rupee has borne much of the strain. It has recovered to around 95.20 per dollar from a record low of nearly 97 earlier this month, but remains down more than 5.5% this year, making it one of Asia’s worst-performing currencies.
印度储备银行已采取措施吸引外国资金流入,包括来自印度庞大侨民群体的资金,同时也在寻求遏制汇市投机。本月早些时候,该央行公布了旨在减少对卢比过度做空的全面措施。
The RBI has taken steps to attract foreign inflows, including from India’s vast diaspora, while also seeking to curb speculation in the currency market. Earlier this month, the central bank unveiled sweeping measures aimed at reducing excessive bets against the rupee.
