India Now the third largest producer of metal castings in the


world, India has experienced remarkable growth in the past decade. After stagnant production between 1995-2002, India has tripled its total output since then, going from 3.12 million tons in 2002 to an all-time high of 9.99 mil- lion tons in 2011. (T e country’s total production slipped slightly in 2012, to 9.34.) While many countries have seen wild swings in production totals since the global economic downturn in 2008, India has weathered the storm surpris- ingly well. India’s pre-recession high production mark was 7.77 million tons in 2007, a total that was surpassed just three years later.


印度


印度现在是世界铸件第三大生产国，过去十年经历 了显着增长。 在1995-2002年产量增长停滞后，印 度自那时以来总产量增加了两倍，从2002年的312万 吨，达到2011年历史最高的999万吨，（全国总产量 在2012年略有下滑，为934万吨）虽然由于2008年全 球经济衰退，可以看到许多国家铸件总产量已经产生了 剧烈波动，印度已经平安度过了风暴。经济衰退前，印 度2007年的产量高达777万吨，仅仅三年后就超越了 这一总量。


BRICS Nations Pushing Forward 金砖组织推动发展进程


In July, leaders of the BRICS emerging market


nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) launched a $100 billion development bank and a cur- rency reserve pool in their fi rst concrete step toward reshaping the Western-dominated international fi nancial system. T e long-awaited bank is the fi rst major achievement


of the BRICS and is aimed at funding infrastructure projects in developing nations. President of the Brazilian Foundry Association


(ABIFA), Roberto De Simone, provided his point of view on the announcement and what it means for Brazil and casting industry: “BRICS have been just an acronym; they share little


in common and need something concrete that unite them, to transform them in an alternative. Certainly, by directing a commercial system of pref-


erential in conjunction to a powerful multilateral bank constitutes a real advantage. To achieve that, China’s participation is a key factor. T e increased importance of the group in the world,


however, also depends on joint political action, not only to oppose the sphere of infl uence of the World Bank and the IMF, but also the U.S., United Nations and World Trade Organization.


今年7月，BRICS（巴西、俄罗斯、印度、中国和南 非）五国领导人宣布成立初始资本为1000亿美元的金砖 国家开发银行以及应急储备金，向重新调整由西方国家 主导的国际金融秩序迈出了实质性的一步。 盼望已久的金砖国家开发银行的成立是金砖国家组织 的第一项重要成果，旨在为发展中国家的基础设施建设 提供贷款。


巴西铸造协会主席Roberto De Simone就开发银行 的成立，以及开发银行对于巴西和巴西铸造业的影响阐 述了自己的观点：


“BRICS过去只是一个缩写词，金砖五国共同点很 少，他们需要通过采取实质性的举措联合起来，改变现 状。”


的确，通过成立强大的多边银行建立起一套具有优势 地位的金融体系，是一个实实在在的有利条件。为此， 中国的参与是关键因素。


然而，金砖五国在世界上的地位日益重要，同时也依 赖政治上的合作，不仅将会改变世界银行和国际货币基 金组织的影响范围，而且将对美国、联合国及世界贸易
