He urged major powers to reform and reinforces rather than discard the rules-based global trading system.
Concern over rising risks to emerging market economies took centre stage this week as global Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors in Bali, Indonesia. Minister Samaraweera was speaking at this meeting.
Bali hosted both the biannual Ministerial Meeting of the Group of 24 (G-24) developing countries and the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank Group officials. (Bandula)
