G7 to discuss terrorism, oil price

MILAN: Finance Ministers from the Group of Seven (G7) nations
will discuss additional measures to stop financing for terrorism,
as well as the impact of recent crude oil price hikes on the
world economy, a G7 source said on Wednesday.

At a Washington meeting scheduled for April 19 and 20, the
ministers will also consider the solidity of the U.S. and
European economic recoveries. The International Monetary Fund and
World Bank also hold their spring meets beginning April 20.

"At the dinner on April 19, the ministers will discuss the
situation regarding the financing of terrorism," the source said.

"The United States is interested in as wide an agreement as
possible, which includes the majority of countries, even those
outside the G7," said the source. -- Reuters
