President Xi, Your Excellencies, honorable guests—good morning.
习主席、尊敬的诸位阁下、尊贵的各位来宾——大家早上好。
Sixty-six percent of 3.9, times two equals Asia. What do I mean? Asia contributes two thirds of global growth, forecast at 3.9 percent, this year and next. This underscores the importance of this region.
To borrow from the great French writer, Simone de Beauvoir, who said: “Life begins at 40.” I congratulate you, President Xi. For this new era that you have identified; for the openness that we are celebrating; for the innovation and inclusiveness that you have encouraged.
You have not only said this in general terms; you have been very specific: opening sectors—banking, insurance, automotive. Removing caps, reducing barriers, providing a more business-friendly environment. Advocating for inclusiveness.
So as you have been very practical, let me advocate for the benefit of closing, closing a few gaps—because it can help China’s openness strategy.
我希望也能如您这般，务实地倡导弥合若干差距——因为此举对中国的开放战略不无裨益。
The first gap is the digital gap applied to finance. Indeed, the digital gap in Asia is smaller than almost anywhere else in the world.
第一个差距是 “数字鸿沟”， 特别是金融领域。确实，亚洲的数字鸿沟几乎小于世界任何其他地方。
The gap can be closed even further, including through policies that enable more women to access digital financial services.
若是通过各种政策使更多女性获得数字金融服务，甚至还能进一步缩小这种鸿沟。
IMF analysis shows that, if the gap between the least financially inclusive country in Asia and the median country was narrowed, national GDP per capita could be increased by a full percentage point.
Gap number two is what I would call the regulatory gap. Here in Asia, we see a blossoming of fintech industries.
第二个差距我想称之为“监管差距”。当下，我们正目睹亚洲金融科技产业经历着繁荣兴旺的过程。
Yet the rise of fintech is revealing regulatory gaps which, if not closed both domestically and on a cross-border basis, can lead to systemic risks. You do not want to risk that. Instead, transform safely, and be more inclusive!
The third gap is a very interesting one—I would call it the innovation gap. New IMF research shows not only the contribution of trade to growth, but it identifies how trade facilitates the sharing of technology across borders, especially in emerging markets.
Until recently much of the creation of new technology was concentrated in a small number of advanced economies. But that is changing.
直到不久前，大部分新技术的创造还都集中在少数几个发达经济体中。不过，情况正在改变。
Two thirds of the world’s industrial robots are to be found in this region, predominantly in Japan, South Korea, and China. This needs to be continued.
眼下，世界上三分之二的工业机器人应用于亚洲——主要是日本、韩国和中国。这一趋势必须持续下去。
And it is through trade that innovation will continue to be shared, and that Asia will transform itself from being an importer of innovation to also being an exporter of innovation.
This is the kind of progress that you have identified, President Xi, particularly when it comes to the protection of intellectual property. IPR protection for all—Chinese and foreign companies alike—can help ensure that this progress will come through.
