Policy coordination stressed ahead of G20 Summit

Economic policy coordination is more important than ever as trade barriers continue to rise, policy advisers said.

Experts from international institutions and think thanks gathered in Osaka, Japan, on Tuesday, and called for enhanced economic policy communication through the G20, especially between China and the United States, to ease trade friction and minimize downside risk.

They offered ideas for achieving strong, sustainable, balanced and inclusive global growth at a forum, co-organized by China Daily and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, a government think tank.
