Finance Track Discussions Under India's Chairship
The upcoming meeting follows the BRICS Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors meeting held in Jaipur in August. Finance Minister Sitharaman and Reserve Bank of India Governor Sanjay Malhotra had participated in the deliberations.
During the Finance Track engagements under India’s chairship, BRICS countries have discussed issues relating to the global economy and financial cooperation. The Jaipur meeting also included discussions around the role of the New Development Bank in mobilising private capital in member countries.
Speaking at a seminar on the sidelines of the Jaipur meeting on August 12, Sitharaman had said, “BRICS economies represent major growth engines of the global economy, and face common structural constraints in mobilising private capital at scale.”
The Mumbai meeting will be among the final high-level engagements ahead of the 18th BRICS Summit, which India will host in New Delhi on September 12-13. The Leaders’ Summit will be held at Bharat Mandapam in the national capital as India holds the BRICS Chairship for 2026. (ANI)
