G20 stresses to tackle rise of protectionism

WASHINGTON: Finance ministers from the Group of 20 major economies agreed that growth must be made "more inclusive" in order to prevent the rise of protectionism, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said Friday.

"We need to tackle this, otherwise we will see more protectionism," he said after the G20 meeting, at which officials agreed on the "need to do more" to share the proceeds of growth more equitably. (APP)
