G7 finance heads meeting in Tokyo
The specter of U.S. recession on top of a festering crisis in financial markets will test the limits of cooperation among the Group of Seven industrial powers when G7 finance ministers and central bank chiefs meet on Saturday, Feb. 9, in Tokyo.
Tensions are resurfacing over exchange rates, interest rates and, in an increasingly globalized world, the need to develop a global policy response to crises which know no borders.
The meeting begins Japan's presidency of the G7 this year, and will include a post-meeting dinner with ministers from China and other Asian countries whose influence the G7 club can no longer ignore. Double-click on the codes in brackets to see related stories and factboxes:
