YEREVAN, February 11. /ARKA/. IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde issued a statement yesterday at the conclusion of the Group of 20 (G20) Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors Meeting in Istanbul, IMF’s official website reports.
“I strongly support the G20's call for action to implement the policy commitments of the Brisbane Action Plan which can raise global growth by at least 2 percent and create millions of new jobs over the next four years. Given the risk of persistent low growth and high unemployment faced by many countries, time is of the essence,” the statement says.
“This year has the potential to be a special moment for global collective action, and I welcome the Turkish Presidency’s inclusion of the post-2015 development agenda in its priorities for the G20's work,” Lagarde said. –0--
