"We intend for this FWG meeting to include conversations on financial stability, issues related to cross-border data, lending, and payments, private sector efforts to advance transition finance, and concrete steps we can take to improve communication in the event of financial stress," Neiman said.

“我们打算让这次 FWG 会议讨论金融稳定、跨境数据、贷款和支付相关问题、私营部门推进过渡融资的努力以及在出现金融压力时我们可以采取的具体措施来改善沟通，”内曼说。
