印度联邦财政部长周一表示，印度需要股权资本来支持增长，此前外国投资者在今年抛售创纪录的310亿美元印度股票后寻求减税。
India needs equity capital to support growth, the country's federal finance minister said on Monday, as foreign investors seek tax relief after selling a record $31 billion in Indian stocks this year.
为了维持7%以上的增长，印度需要资本，尤其是股权资本，尼尔马拉·西塔拉曼在孟买《金融快报》报纸举办的活动上表示。
To sustain growth of more than 7%, India needs capital, especially equity, Nirmala Sitharaman said at an event organised by the Financial Express newspaper in Mumbai.
“我们也有这样的声音，即股权也需要像债务市场那样得到支持，我认识到这个声音，”西塔拉曼表示。
"We also have this voice that equity also needs the kind of support given to the debt market, I recognise this voice," Sitharaman said.
今年早些时候，印度取消了对外国债务投资者的长期资本利得税。该国市场监管机构正在建议为股权投资者提供类似的减税，路透社周一早些时候报道。
Earlier this year, India removed a long term capital gains tax for foreign debt investors. The country's market regulator is recommending similar relief for equity investors, Reuters reported earlier on Monday.
西塔拉曼表示，2023年税收结构相同，当时资金流入达到创纪录高位。
The taxation structure was the same in 2023, when inflows were at a record high, Sitharaman said.
“情况已经改变，挑战日益增多……外国投资者资金外流已经发生，担忧的声音更大了，”她表示，并补充说所有这些都将被考虑在内。税收变化通常在每年2月的年度联邦预算中宣布。
"Circumstances have changed, challenges have grown...FPI outflows have happened, voices of concern are louder," she said, adding that all this will be considered. Tax changes are typically announced during the annual federal budget in February.
