World economy is an 'urgent priority': G7 leaders

Ise-Shima (Japan), May 27: Group of Seven leaders today said that pumping up the world economy was an "urgent priority", but said members of the club of rich nations could take a go-your-own-way approach to growth plans.

"Global growth is our urgent priority," the G7 said in a final statement as they wrap up two-days of talks later today.

"Taking into account country-specific circumstances, we commit to strengthening our economic policy responses in a cooperative manner and to employing a more forceful and balanced policy mix, in order to swiftly achieve a strong, sustainable and balanced growth pattern."
