  • Story Text: Group of Seven finance ministers and central bank governors kicked off their main meetings on Friday evening (May 20), in Sendai, Japan.
    The summit began with a welcoming reception hosted by Japanese Finance Minister, Taro Aso, and Bank of Japan President, Haruhiko Kuroda, on Thursday (May 19), followed by a symposium early Friday (May 20), where members met with prominent academics for informal talks on way to boost the global economy.
    Discussions, so far, have had participants agreeing that a so-called "Brexit" vote for Britain to exit the European Union at a referendum next month could lead to financial market unrest.
    There were no demands for quick economic stimulus programs, the source said, adding that there was instead a wide recognition among the participants that structural reforms combined with appropriate investment would strengthen growth.
    The G7 finance ministers and central bank governors are gathering in Sendai, northeastern Japan, for discussions on the global economy and its risks.
