(ANSA) - Ise-Shima, May 27 - The leaders of seven leading
industrialized nations including Italy said in a final statement
at the end of a two-day summit Friday that "global growth is our
urgent priority".
Every available "tax, monetary and structural" tool must be
deployed to "support global demand (while) bringing debt to
sustainable levels", the Group of Seven (G7) chiefs said.
"We intend to ensure an appropriate level of public
investments," said the leaders of Canada, France, Germany,
Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
The risk of a new global economic crisis must be averted
via growth-oriented policies such as a mix of public spending
and high-quality investments to shore up "productivity,
employment, inclusion, and growth", the statement said.
