Developed nations 'need to consider impact' on world

Developed countries should be aware of the "spillover" effect of their economic policies, and emerging markets will remain an important force in global growth, despite their present difficulties, Premier Li Keqiang said when meeting International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde on Monday.

"Developed countries should be aware of the spillover effect of their own economic policies," Li told Lagarde.

"The emerging markets face challenges, but they remain an important force in world growth."
