IMF总裁克里斯蒂娜关于八国集团领导人峰会的声明

国际货币基金组织总裁克里斯蒂娜·拉加德女士在北爱尔兰厄恩湖八国集团领导人峰会结束时发表了以下声明：

I would like to thank the G-8 leaders, including the host of this year’s summit, UK Prime Minister David Cameron, for inviting me to address issues related to global taxation. We have worked closely with our member countries—including those in the G-8—along with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and other international institutions, to promote sound fiscal policies globally. Taxation regimes and fiscal transparency figure prominently in our technical assistance and ongoing economic analysis and policy advice, including measures that promote equitable and efficient tax systems as well as stronger tax administration.
“感谢八国集团领导人，包括主办今年峰会的英国首相戴维-卡梅伦，邀请我就全球征税问题发表讲话。我们与包括八国集团在内的成员国以及经济合作与发展组织和其他国际机构密切合作，在全球范围内促进实施健全的财政政策。征税体制和财政透明度是我们的技术援助以及持续开展的经济分析和政策咨询的重要内容，包括采取措施促进公平和高效的税收制度以及更强的税收征管。

Prime Minister Cameron and the G-8 leaders should be congratulated for including international tax issues and transparency on the agenda of this summit. International tax avoidance and evasion have emerged as major risks to government revenue and as threats to the credibility of tax systems in the eyes of citizens— in both advanced and developing countries. At a time when almost all governments need additional revenues, whether to deal with high post-crisis public debts or to finance critical investments in human development, combating tax evasion and addressing tax avoidance should top the list of potential revenue-raising measures.
“首相卡梅伦和八国集团领导人将国际税收问题和透明度列入本次峰会议程，这是值得赞赏的举措。国际逃税和避税已成为政府收入面临的重要风险，并且可能危及公民眼中的税收制度的可信性——在先进国家和发展中国家皆是如此。目前，几乎所有国家的政府都需要更多收入，无论是为了解决危机后的高债务问题，还是为重要的人力发展投资提供资金，因此，在可能采取的收入筹集措施中，打击逃税现象、解决避税问题应当是最重要的一项。

The G-8 leaders should also be commended for the 10 principles put forward in the Lough Erne Declaration. A commitment to fair taxes, increased transparency, and open trade will support the broader commitment to maintaining sound macroeconomic policies and restoring stronger growth and job creation. The IMF stands ready to work closely with its member countries— including the G-8— and other multilateral institutions on these important issues and challenges.
“八国集团领导人在《厄恩湖宣言》中提出十项原则，这也值得称赞。对公平税收、提高透明度和开放贸易的承诺将支持在维持稳健宏观经济政策以及恢复更强增长和就业方面的广泛承诺。基金组织随时准备与包括八国集团在内的成员国以及其他多边机构就这些重要的问题和挑战开展密切合作。”
