In an interview with the BBC, US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said that it “remains a priority” that the European Union concentrate on growth. Geithner made it clear that this is the message he will deliver at the G8 and G20 summit meetings starting later today in Toronto.
“Europe can make a choice to put in place the reforms and policies that will provide the possibility of stronger growth rates in the future”, said Geighner. “This meeting gives us the chance to sit together and look at whether we’ve got a broad strategy across the country that’s going to strengthen this recovery. Our job is to make sure we’re all sitting there together to focus on this challenge of growth and confidence because growth and confidence are paramount.”
