The professor says China should play a bigger role in debt restructuring negotiations for vulnerable countries
Mauro Guillen, a professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, said the West had not done enough to bring China to the negotiating table.
The U.S. and Europe should engage with China in debt restructuring talks for vulnerable countries because “China has money” and leverage with many countries, Gillen told CNBC’s “Squawk Box Asia.”
His comments came during a meeting of the 20-member Finance Ministers Group in Gandhinagar, India.
There is still no progress on how much aid will be given to low-income countries in need of debt restructuring.
Guillen pointed out that China’s lack of engagement could be due to its own problems at home. “There is a lot of pressure on President Xi to organize the stimulus for his own economy,” he said. “China may prefer to focus on its own problems for the time being, rather than solving other people’s problems.”
