Rubin says G7 focused intensely on global crisis

Reuters, Saturday, October 03, 1998 at 18:56

WASHINGTON, Oct 3 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary
Robert Rubin said financial officials from the world's top
industrial powers had long and intense discussions on Saturday
on how to end the world financial crisis.
"There clearly was a very intense focus on the issue with
respect to the current crisis, and a deep sense of commitment
to do everything sensible to deal with it," Rubin told
reporters as he emerged from the meeting.
Rubin declined to give any details of what was decided by
the Group of Seven finance ministers and central bankers.
The participants were expected to release a statement and
hold individual news conferences later on Saturday.
Rubin said the intensity of the discussions was part of the
reason that the talks went nearly an hour beyond the expected
finish time of around 6 p.m. (2200 GMT).
"We had a very good meeting, a constructive meeting," Rubin
said, adding that there had been some discussion of Brazil,
seen by many economists as vulnerable to the spreading crisis.
