FM on crypto: G20 members will go through the synthesis paper
Both pricing and non-pricing tools are going to be available for countries to adopt. It’s not going to be just ‘price it if it’s carbon-intensive’ and forget the others. Non-pricing solutions are also going to be a lot more friendlier option to countries with different carbon level
– FM Sitharaman
Considerable time was spent, especially in the last few days in regard to geo-political issues which really centred around the war in Ukraine. The question who helped? I mean, eventually, everybody helped because everybody came together for the consensus. I think the emerging markets took a particular lead on this, and many of us have a strong history of working together. Bear in mind that actually, you have four developing countries in succession as G 20 presidency Indonesia, India, Brazil and South Africa but I would say rather than who helped? The point to be recognized is that a common landing point was ultimately fashioned out
