BRICs attack QE and urge Western leaders to be 'responsible'

The world's leading emerging economies have urged Western governments to pursue "responsible" economic policies, as they renewed their attack on the quantitative easing policies adopted by the US and Britain.

"It is critical for advanced economies to adopt responsible macro-economic and financial policies, avoid creating excessive liquidity and undertake structural reforms to lift growth," Russia, Brazil, India, China and South Africa said in a joint statement.

The leaders of the countries met at a one-day summit in the Indian capital New Delhi, and also turned their fire on the pace of reform at the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The US has yet to approve changes to voting rights at the IMF that were tabled in 2010 and would give a greater voice to those countries with growing economic muscle in the world.

The call from the so-called BRIC nations comes at an awkward time for the IMF, as its managing director, Christine Lagarde, looks to the likes of China and India to contribute more to a fund that would help ease Europe's debt crisis.

"We stress that the ongoing effort to increase the lending capacity of the IMF will only be successful if there is confidence that the entire membership of the institution is truly committed to implement the 2010 reform faithfully," the countries said.
