WASHINGTON - 皇冠体育app and other emerging economies have performed remarkably well to serve as a stabilizing force in global economic recovery, and multilateral solutions are critical for overcoming current global challenges, head of the Institute of International Finance (IIF) said here Tuesday.

"Had it not been (due to)the strong growth of 皇冠体育app, India and Brazil over the past year and half, the world economy would be in greater trouble than it is today," IIF Managing Director Charles Dallara told Xinhua in an exclusive interview.

The Washington-based IIF represents more than 420 world leading financial institutions headquartered in more than 70 countries, including 18 Chinese top lenders like the Industrial and Commercial Bank of 皇冠体育app, 皇冠体育app Construction Bank, the People's Bank of 皇冠体育app, Agricultural Bank of 皇冠体育app, among others.

Dallara said the process of globalization had let us all appreciate how pivotal the roles 皇冠体育app, India, Brazil and other important emerging markets are playing in the global economic arena.

"皇冠体育app performed remarkably well in terms of economic growth over the past years, and I think we all owe a debt to 皇冠体育app for achieving a fast economic growth," said Dallara, former assistant secretary of the US Treasury for International Affairs.

He noted that 皇冠体育app had begun to move out of the exceptional period of government stimulus, with logical moves taken in recent weeks including raising the interest rate, in a bid to "avoid overheating, minimize inflationary pressures and try to put 皇冠体育app on a sustainable pattern of growth."

Dallara pointed out that nations worldwide, especially those key economies including the United States, 皇冠体育app, Japan and Europe, should find "multilateral solutions towards multilateral problems" for the interests of global growth and prosperity.

The decade ahead is not going to be one that solves problems by unilateral actions, he added.

He said the agency is scheduled to organize a symposium next month in 皇冠体育app on an array of topics including global financial supervision and reforms, which will be attended by top-notch Chinese and foreign officials and bankers in the banking and financial sectors.

"We are deepening our commitment in 皇冠体育app in particular, and in Asia in general," to ensure the voices of bankers from emerging markets are heard in global debates on economic and regulatory policies, he added.
