Geithner to Pursue Currency "Norms" at G20 Meeting

盖特纳将在20国会议上寻求货币“规范”

U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner says he will urge his G20 counterparts to agree on better rules to regulate currency exchange rates when they meet later this week in South Korea.
美国财长盖特纳说，他将在本星期末在韩国举行的20国集团财长会议上，敦促各国财长同意建立更加完善的管理汇率的规则。

Fears of a "currency war," in which countries devalue their currencies to gain a trade advantage, have dominated headlines ahead of the meetings Friday and Saturday in Gyeongju. Deputy finance ministers from the 20 leading economies that make up the Group of 20 are also meeting Thursday.

对各国贬低本国币值以获得贸易优势的“货币战”的担忧在会议举行之前占据了媒体头条。这次财长会议将于星期五、六在韩国庆州举行。20个主要经济体的副财长星期四也在那里举行会议。

Dow Jones newswires reports that a draft communique prepared for the meeting calls for member countries to "refrain from competitive devaluation."

美国道琼斯通讯社报导说，为会议准备的一份公报草案呼吁成员国“不要竞相贬低币值”。

Geithner has dismissed fears of a currency war. But in a Wall Street Journal interview published Thursday, he says the United States "would like countries to move toward a set of norms on exchange rate policy."

盖特纳对有关货币战的担忧不以为然。但是，他在华尔街日报星期四刊登的一篇采访中说，美国“希望各国在汇率政策上制定能一套规范”。
