OTTAWA – Prime Minister Mark Carney took part in a video call today with officials from the Group of Seven countries and China to address global economic imbalances.
A spokesperson for the Prime Minister’s Office confirmed Carney took part in the meeting led by French President Emmanuel Macron.
The government of France says priorities for next week’s G7 Leaders’ Summit will include reducing global inequalities, and warns that industrial overcapacity, underinvestment, excessive debt and a drop in international solidarity are threatening the global economy.
Recent reports by the International Monetary Fund and France’s G7 presidency say global macroeconomic imbalances are getting worse and can’t be solved without China.
A government official briefing reporters before the trip said the leaders are expected to talk about the future of the global economy and China’s industrial overcapacity.
Carney said on social media Thursday that he spoke with leaders from around the world during the Global Convergence for Growth ahead of the G7 summit.
“… We focused on reforms to strengthen resilience and financial stability, and help economies respond effectively to global economic shocks,” he posted, without referencing China taking part in the video call.
The G7 includes Canada, France, the United States, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom and Italy, while the European Union also participates in G7 talks.
