IMF指导委员会会议现退场风波:俄财长发言时多国代表团离席 主席声明呼吁加大支持受战争外溢冲击的国家

据路透社 10 月 17 日报道,国际货币基金组织(IMF)指导委员会——国际货币与金融委员会(IMFC)——周六举行会议时,俄罗斯财政部长 Anton Siluanov 向委员会发表讲话,多国代表团退场离席。三名了解情况的消息人士向路透社透露了这一情况。
其中一名消息人士对路透社说:「许多代表团退场了,包括欧盟成员国的(代表团)。」
路透社报道,自俄罗斯 2022 年 2 月入侵乌克兰以来,IMFC 一直受到这一问题的困扰,此后多年未能达成共识声明;今年,在美国与乌克兰之间出现新的紧张关系之际,深刻分歧再次爆发。
同日,IMFC 在曼谷开会后发布主席声明,IMF 成员国呼吁加大对那些因战争的负面外溢效应和高能源价格而面临短期融资困难的国家的支持。声明称,经济风险仍然偏向下行。这份由 IMFC 主席、沙特阿拉伯财政大臣 Mohammed Al-Jadaan 发布的声明说:「不断升级的冲突和贸易紧张可能进一步扰乱关键贸易路线,加剧大宗商品价格压力,包括成品油等能源产品,并恶化能源和粮食安全。」
背景方面,IMF 与世界银行年会正在曼谷举行。GSM 此前已报道美国财政部长 Scott Bessent 在年会发表声明,要求两机构回归核心使命;美联储主席 Kevin Warsh 在曼谷出席 IMF 会议活动期间表示不预先表态利率路径。

Delegates Walk Out as Russian Finance Minister Addresses IMF Steering Committee; IMFC Chair Urges More Support for Countries Hit by War Spillovers
Many delegates to the International Monetary Fund's steering committee, the International Monetary and Financial Committee (IMFC), walked out of a meeting on Saturday, October 17, when Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov addressed the group, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.
"Many delegations walked out, including members of the European Union," one of the sources told Reuters.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has roiled the IMFC, preventing it from reaching consensus statements in the years since. Deep divisions flared again this year amid fresh tensions between the United States and Ukraine, Reuters reported.
In a chair's statement issued after the IMFC met in Bangkok the same day, IMF member countries called for increasing support to countries that are facing short-term financing challenges caused by negative spillovers from wars and high energy prices. The committee said that economic risks remain tilted to the downside. "Escalating conflicts and trade tensions could further disrupt critical trade routes, exacerbate commodity price pressures, including in refined energy products, and worsen energy and food security," said the statement issued by Saudi Finance Minister Mohammed Al-Jadaan, the IMFC chair.
The meeting took place during the IMF and World Bank annual meetings in Bangkok. GSM has previously reported U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent's statement at the annual meetings calling on the two institutions to return to their core missions, and Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh's remarks in Bangkok that he would not pre-commit to a rate path.
