Echoing the views articulated by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, the BRICS nations on Thursday warned that imminent withdrawal of monetary stimulus by the US could have "unintended negative spillovers" on the global economy.
BRICS comprises of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.
Prime Minister Singh had emphasised the need for an "orderly exit" from unconventional monetary policies being pursued by the developed world to avoid "damaging" growth prospects of the developing world, ahead of the summit of the Group of 20 industrialised and major emerging economies.
A media note on the informal meeting of BRICS leaders ahead of the G20 Summit said, "In light of the increase in financial market and capital flow volatility during recent months, the BRICS Leaders reiterated their concerns they had expressed in the Durban Summit in March, regarding the unintended negative spillovers of unconventional monetary policies of certain developed economies."
"They emphasised that the eventual normalisation of monetary policies needs to be effectively and carefully calibrated and clearly communicated," it said.
With the five countries in the BRICS bloc hard hit by slow economic growth, host Russia and China, also articulated their concerns separately about the planned 'tapering' of the US Federal Reserve's multi-billion dollar monetary stimulus policy.
Zhu Guangyao, China's deputy finance minister, asked the US to be "mindful" of the spillover effects and work to contribute to the stability of the global financial markets and the steady recovery of the global economy.
However, he appeared to rule out the possibility of a bailout for any country in any financial difficulty.

India has not approached other BRICS countries despite issuing a public appeal last week for joint forex intervention after the rupee rout, Russia's summit coordinator Ksenia Yudayeva said.
